Thanks for the link to that article Dave. Social media has made it far to easy to give a business a bad revue and sometimes undeserved at that. Sure would like to see these small tracks have a turn around season and start to grow again...
I was planning on visiting my Sister in Merrillville,In. this spring and going to the Illiani Speedway which is close by on rt.30. My brother in law said it is NOT opening this season after 68 years of operation. It is a 1/2 mile track with a 1/4 mile track in the infield and is fast and loud .. I have visited many times over the years and always enjoyed myself. Sure hate to see these tracks closing... Hope someone steps up and buys it and keeps the tradition going...
so far I like what he's doing in the booth. He was a great driver.
What a shame they wont be able to have charter status. I guess its because they haven't run a full schedule since 2008. They will have to qualify for one of the 4 open slots at each race. I have high hopes they will make most of them and wish them the best....
May he rest in peace.. My condolences to his family, friends and fans.
and the down-sizing goes on...... Well, at least Brian can claim sellouts, maybe.
So sad to hear this. He was a very friendly guy. I had many visits with him over the years. My condolences to his multitude of fans and to Marvette..
