If ovals were profitable, they would race at them more. It does not matter who owns them. I guarantee that all tracks are looking for more inventory to sell. It is hard to make a business run if you only have 1 or 2 profit making days on the entire calendar.

I lived in DFW during Eddie Gossage' hey day and I am convinced that there was not an idea, he did not at least consider. Concerts, Football games, pig races, he was for anything that put buts in seats.
