kjb434 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think they were trying to get NASCAR's approval but it never happened. There were some NIMBY factors. The area they were planning to put it really was in the middle of nowhere along SH 288. It would have been a great economic benefit for the area.A lot of it also depends whether the group with the idea could get finacial backers to jump into the deal.

zaphod Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 It says "Nascar Styled" which means it could be anything from semi pro custom built stock cars to billy bobs supercharged buicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a race, no one will invest. Everything else was secondary. Since two groups control 70% of NASCAR, if they don't give you a race, you aren't getting one. So the project died.
