Add to that Twice a week racing with Racing on Sunday 360s and it seems that a couple of his venues are competing against each other with the concerts etc.

Personally Im glad that teams could go race and not totally lose their tails every week and be able to rebuild a engine with a win and another good finish.

Tims not wrong,These things suck $$$, Recouping a good portion or actually coming out ahead in a night would be a good thing.

All just alike, right! Think about it a bit, for $700.00 to win, the big dogs might go somewhere else, and for $700.00 to start, you might just have to expand the pit area! Ha, hold that thought, too many cars in the pits again! Bob

Either it will be a hit, or a flop, either way it will be an interesting 2016 season for us. I did see that they have a add for a flag man. So to me that means that Doug Clark has choose Knoxville.

And a little promo.

What will be interesting to watch is if this big deal doesn't turn out as planned will there be any racing at all after the fallout?

I think the track will probably be a tax right off for the first couple of years, so making money may not be the priority. I still think the pie in that area is not that big, and I don't see Knoxville going under. Time will tell.
