"Just to clear the air and to set the record straight: I Ozzy and my wife Maria Moya have purchased the assets of Orlando Speedworld Circle Track and have leased the property for the next 20 years. We look forward to bringing the same type of improvements to the circle track as we have been able to accomplish at the Lakeland Dragstrip. We will strive to make it one of the premier circle track facilities in the south east. It will take time and we appreciate all input and everyone's patience as we move forward with this new endeavor. We will announce a schedule of events as soon as possible. For all those people who doubt or think differently or don't understand, a press conference and press release (media only) will be given on Friday January 18th at New Symrna Speedway at 1 pm.
Ps: As for the Dragstrip, I am not at liberty to talk about any potential dealings at this time. I am awaiting the arrival of Carl Weisinger back from his well deserved vacation. At that time, Carl, Myself and my wife Maria will continue our negotiations and hopefully the three of us will be able to come to some kind of agreement. Thank you, Ozzy "

That quote above from Ozzy was posted on Yellow Bullet.
This pretty much confirms it.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Florida is the birthplace of NASCAR and Friday afternoon, two marquee tracks in the state joined the NASCAR family.
NASCAR and track officials announced New Smyrna Speedway and Orlando Speedworld will be sanctioned tracks in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in 2013.
New Smyrna is a half-mile banked paved oval near New Smyrna Beach, Fla. – 25 minutes south of Daytona – and Orlando is a .375-mile banked paved oval east of the city.
Super Late Models will be NASCAR Division I at both facilities. Speedworld operates on Friday nights and New Smyrna on Saturday nights.
Representing NASCAR at the Friday announcement at New Smyrna Speedway were Jim France, NASCAR vice chairman and executive vice president; George Silbermann, NASCAR vice president, regional and touring series; and Bob Duvall, NASCAR senior director, business development. They were joined by New Smyrna general manager Terry Roberts, Orlando track operator Ozzy Moya, and Robert Hart, who owns both tracks.

dude.... ozzy is about to become a very rich man. I don't think he is hurting now, but man the income potential with these 2 (hopefully 3) tracks is going to put him on a new level. I know it's a large investment, but I don't see him having any problems with turning a profit on the other tracks as he has Lakeland. As the line from field of dreams says... if you build it, they will come. in this case, just managing it and promoting it properly, and they will come
