I just read a book today by Larry Woody a Nashville based stock car writer. In it he relates a story about the meeting to try and save the Cup races at Nashville, another fairgrounds track. It was going to be expensive to update the track to what Cup wanted, but there were millions to be made by keeping the date. He said he knew it was a lost cause when he witnessed the "debate" over whether the promoter or the board was responsible for fixing a roof leak in the office. He said the races were lost over a bucket of tar.
FYI, it was a good read although it was all stock car and I was disappointed that he didn't have any mention about Tim Richmond. But the stories were interesting that he did have.
