Raced at Memphis almost 20 years ago when I was at school for the Navy. Sad that another track is closing its doors.

Sounds to me like some the local investors need to be making a plea to the city for some concessions to keep the track open. Lots of lost revenue for the surrounding community when a place like that closes. The locals all hate racetracks in they're back yard until it hits them in the wallet. JMO

This is still the latest official news. http://www.dovermotorsports.com/trac...200910&id=3283

Earlier this year the rumor was DEI might buy it and they were going to sell off the dragstrip for commercial use!
