http://Tony Stewart: Eldora Speedway is not for sale Tony Stewart: Eldora Speedway is not for sale Tony Stewart could not have been more clear. “This track is not for sale. It’s not sold. It’s ours. And we plan on keeping it for a long time.” That runs contrary to rumors that began circulating in racing circles on Wednesday leading up to the prestigious Late Model Dream event that begins this week. Gatlinburg Motels www.expedia.com Gatlinburg Motels Ad “I don’t know who was really bored and thought they would play a nice practical joke at home, but this track is not sold and it is not for sale,” Stewart told FloRacing on Thursday. “This is a tradition with Earl and Bernice (Baltes) that they started back in 1954 that we’re proud to be owners of this race track. It’s something that we’re passionate about. Trust me, when my phone started blowing up yesterday, it did not make me happy.” Stewart has owned the speedway since 2004, turning into one of the premier facilities under his watch, and the narrative is part of the fallout of Stewart and Gene Haas selling their NASCAR team by the end of the season. “This is one of those situations where I was sitting at home yesterday getting ready to come here today and then onto Bristol this weekend, but literally for three hours yesterday I was sending text messages to people saying this is not true,” Stewart explained. “It affects everybody involved. It affects the fans, our sponsors. It’s unnecessary and unneeded. It created a lot of problems yesterday that we didn’t need.”

I have been following the draft and Vikings off-season and every day of the week there is some kind of out of control rumor. Most recently it was rumors about a Justin Jefferson trade instead of a contract extension. Ownership and management sometimes say a little bit to quell rumors but more times than not remain silent.
Sprint Car racing is getting bigger and part of being bigger is likely to be some of that kind of chatter. On the one hand racing is very negative about rumors and negative press. On the other hand we'd like to see it go more mainstream. I guess the chatter means it's getting more attention but it's going to be interesting when those new fans approach it like any other favorite sport and are more critical than long time fans. The old guard vs the new fan. Am I making sense here?
