That speedway has lots of problems.
I think Sterling Marlin has the leasing rights to the track. But it is in bad shape. It needs millions in work. And the neighbors whine about the noise and traffic. Marlin tried to get NASCAR back but they said no way.
I recall USAC ran a 77 lap sprint race years ago or at least had it on the schedule. I can't recall what happened.
On edit, I remember seeing Bobby Hamilton, Jr. has the lease now, not Marlin.
