Cabarrus County and Concord can fork out as much in incentives to Bruton Smith as their taxpayers can stand, but the state shouldn't kick in a penny.
Local leaders are trying to assemble a $75 million deal to keep Smith's Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord -- with hopes that the state will provide one-third of the amount.
Forget that. This is a big, fat scam. Keep state tax money out of Smith's hands.

Doug, do you think Randolph Co. should offer incentives to keep Petty Racing in Level Cross?

The Pettys aren't playing that game.

Old Burton is on a roll for bucks, He just bought the New Hamphire Speedway for a big chunk of change and it appears that he trying to be the Howard Hughes of the Racetrack empire world with his vast ownership of Racetracks in the states. I suspect the Democrat establishment leadership in this state will find some hidden state taxpayer money to fund his ancient Roman fascist Chariot empire.
I hope the old fascist goat makes good on his promise to move to Rock Hill, South Carolina and stick them...
