Want to buy a race track?
North Carolina Motor Speedway - you might know it as The Rock - is for sale. (Here's the AP story.)
The reason the track is being sold? It's not profitable - duh. Guess that's what happens when you lose your Cup dates.
In other news, NASCAR cars drive fast and Dale Jr. is popular.
Sorry for the lack of recent bloggage - an impending two-week vacation, last week's layoffs around here and a prolonged assault by Swim Parent has sapped the blogging juices out of me. Plus I missed most of the Michigan race on Sunday. My bad.

I think I'll pass.
Why pour good money into a place that has zero infrastructure, or hopes of getting any built, to support enough events with large enough crowds to make it profitable.
And that should read - "The reason the track is being sold? It's not profitable - duh. Guess that's what happens when you lose your Cup dates" and can't even draw a sellout crowd to the last event.
