Race track for sale

The North Carolina Motor Speedway could be yours on Oct. 2.

Here's the auction listing.

Here's the list of races held there.

Here's a fan page of sorts.

The auction house said there's going to be no minimum or reserve, which means that on Oct. 2 SMI won't own it and someone else will. I'm not sure who exactly would want it. Maybe for a plant? Maybe for resort property? (Though you'd have to dig your own lake.) NASCAR's not coming back, and it's too big to be a local short track unless you have gobs of money to throw at keeping it from falling apart.

Now if Bruton Smith and Bob Bahre would go ahead and do something with this place.

Not to mention the fact that these two guys have also idled one of the best short tracks in the country over in Wilkes County.

Pocono and NHIS both have 1 race too many. I know NHIS sells out but Pocono is a tough sell and a BOOOOORRRRIIIINNNGGGG race.
