Yes Sir!

[quote]The highest bid for Memphis Motorsports Park was given by independent investor Joe Lubeck of $1.875 million during an auction today.

An official with Morris Auction Group, which handled the sale, said Lubeck intends to restore the track and bring auto racing back to Memphis.[quote/]

Glad to see it will be used for racing once again. Although I can't complain a bit about the new LSX shootout series set up being that 2 of the 3 locations are literally right out by me. Bradenton is just an hour away. Atlanta is where I'm from and still have family there, so another reason to go there lol. Indy is quite a trek though.

I hear there is talk of quite a bit of money being spent on renovations as well.

of course, you cant believe everything you hear but it would be great if they are planning on making the track even better!!!!!

I doubt they'll be able to get an NHRA event back, but it'd be nice if they could pull it off.
