Move it Bruton, screw them. Stand your ground. The city is just like the jackass's running nascar, they only care about money and if you move the track they will loose it.

The buzz meter on the side says this story is red hot, with only one post.

That's your buzzmeter Hammered

I broke this news yesterday - I am the king of truth and rumors.
He is a billionaire terrorist....he has the resources to move it and then will probably make more money by doing so. I like the old track and it is pretty close to the teams where it is. Its right in HMS backyard. Trash the tradition Bruton - thats what Nascar is all about.

Don Rickles.

That's Don Rickles in the picture. Can't fool me.

No way, ya hocky puck

5 more posts and now it's not hot

And you are right, that does look like him

Maybe if I post more it will get hot?

Not working, still 'it's not'

You need a lady Hammered unless I read that wrong.

Bruton: "does all this money make me look fat?"

Jackmanrob is right. Ol' Uncle BS (Bruton Smith) cried, whined and threatned Concord to get his way. Why is it that Lowe's can't even come close to a sellout for one of the most exciting races we've had in the Chase so far?

Red Zone = darn good question,it makes you wonder =
I like your profile = more people 'should' get involved in there
perspective sports, = no matter what sport it is.

That town has taken so many hits - this would be really tough. The track had planned renovations too. That was a great race - not sure how short they were for sell out...saw some empties in the "Family Section" and backstreach. Even the folks that live near the track want to make concessions. He really is terrorizing the town - but he has the bucks.

Unfortunately this is the path the whole city of Charlotte has taken - get rid of all the old stuff and build all new. Take a trip to the northern cities...they are keeping the historic neighborhoods - here they are gone!

(funny oldskool!!!!)

I think he looks like Mickey Rooney in that picture. LOL

Ok Guys,
More to the point....should he or shouldn't he move the track? Does a move benefit NASCAR and/or the fans? I'm not really sure after reading the posts whether you guys support a move or not.

It should stay where it is. Its a historic track. Those turns are perfect and racing is exciting there. If anything add some more fan attractions around the track and "pretty" the structure up. Considering the approx 150k people there for the big races the traffic really isnt that bad! Its centrally located for all the teams.

Bruton is in his 80's. Sure he is getting wooed by surronding areas, but enviromental studies, conservationists, extremely fast growing area with housing developments will slow the project down for years. (Come to think of it - real estate is taking a hit - sure thats what he is thinking). He could build the ideal track with all the bells and buzzers like the Vegas deal and still attract more fans.

I vote stay shynloco.
