His company has 1500 employees so it’s pretty big. Privately held so no financials to analyze. Yes he does appear to have some serious dough.

Was just watching the DVR of Texas and a new policy there is if you bought tickets to a race that get rained out and run the next day and you can’t stay they will trade that ticket for any other Race at TMS within 1 year.
Pretty cool IMO

If You've never been there it's a Top Notch Track.
Convenience/Gas & Liquor Store a few miles away. I've been there on a Thursday to buy Tickets and the LS is SWAMPED! Folks buying multiple hand trucks of Adult Beverages, They have 5 or 6 40' box trailers parked to hold the extra stock for the Race weekend.
(Traffic sucks but that is mostly due to the LEO’s playing traffic control.)
Easy to solve by using the back exits/roads if Ya know how to get to them;)

Neff: Your contract is up this year. Have you been talking about that or are you waiting to see how the year shakes out a little more?
Biffle: We’ve been working pretty diligently on that. It has been a pretty good negotiation so far. There are a lot of new people on both sides of the table so everyone is kind of getting a feel for the program and learning it.
