Daugherty ran an unsuccessful bid for Evansville Mayor last year as an independent candidate. FYI.

So being from the area (actually I own the property across the road on one side). I'm a bit confused and intrigued by this thread. Last I saw this property is going up for auction on 4/30 at noon i believe it is. I saw where this guy had posted asking locals if there was still an interest in a race track for this location but did not see where he purchased it. Did he purchase it and auction is no longer happening?

I'm not a fan either but rather a car owner, partner in another team, sponsor, etc. Race tracks are closing all over the country and possilby it would be prudent not to criticize guys who are trying to keep them open.....no matter how you feel personally about them. I have some of the same thoughts you have butt about some of the Central PA track owners but always remember this....if a track owner gets disillusioned with owning a track, he can sell it for more than he paid for it....and us racers will sell our equipment for pennies on the dollar. Racers do not hold the winning hand in the raccing game.

Maybe he is being kind......but tracks are disappearing all over the country and I always kind think that when a business/track owner gets tired of the personal attacks, they sell their track and boom a strip mall or condos pop up....and then we cry. In my area, the track owners all own other successful businesses and own the tracks because they love the sport.....constant critizism can kill the love.

Rumor on the street is Daugherty purchased the joint and he plans on having Reno Fontana promote it.

Sorry, I just can't help thinking of that pairing.

With Dave Allison as race director.😂

I was at Kamp the year they hosted a Sprint Week show. It wasn't dirty; it was filthy. Unwatchable. What a dump!

Does anybody know if Reno Fontana was Michael Daugherty's campaign manager in his run for mayor?

Clueless!
