The Mitchell-Priest family own the ground an they lease the track I believe is how it works.

Not racing related; just curious. Anyone know who has the dirt & mulch deal out front? Another lessee, or is it operated by the property owners?

I will be sorry to see Mike and Judy go. They have had one of the best run operations and we always looked forward to our evening at Bloomington. We wish them every success in the future.

That's why it was called Mitchell's Motor Speedway, back in the day.

I hope the track continues to be successful. I've spent many enjoyable Friday evenings there since 1985.
My only suggestion for improvement is to widen the racing surface. The width seems to have decreased each season for the past few years. I have talked to several people, including a former sprint car racer, who have the same observation.

I would like to thank Mike and Judy Miles for all they have done to keep the track a great place to race and a very nice looking facility! I would also like to wish the new group success in there future!
