Great new!! Memphis Drag strip

I hate to say it but if NASCAR doesn't commit to a race. The track will never make it. NASCAR brings in most of the money for these tracks.

Joliet has kind of the same set up. They have shutdown most of the extra dragracing for the weekend warriors. Just not a money maker for them.

I also looked at the date for the press release. I thought I heard that the deal fell through. Hope I am wrong.

NHRA and the weekly test and tune will be opened, NASCAR was the weak part of the Memphis sports park I think, But the dirt track does real good and the drag strip was always busy...
Why update for two or three nascar race'es a year when we have 40 times more dirt track and Drag racers here weekly :thumbup:
NASCAR won't race there again because nascar made the money, not Memphis :-)

I'm 45 miles south of Springfield. No, never been to Monmouth. I've heard of it but don't really know where it's at. Will have to look it up. You tub Memphis Motor sports and check this great track out :thumbup:

I guess technically I'm in south central IL.

North Memphis area off of HWY 40 from Jackson I think . Its a nice track, I think Moroso is part owner .
