Could Speedway Motorsports, Inc. be expanding its track portfolio?
Sources say that SMI Chairman Bruton Smith has added New Hampshire International Speedway to its holdings. A press conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT on Friday at Texas Motor Speedway, at which time the purchase is expected to be announced.
When FOXSports.com asked Smith on Wednesday whether a “little announcement” was on tap for Friday, Smith replied, “There’s more truth to that because it’s going to be large — enormous!”
Smith would not speculate whether a NASCAR Nextel Cup date from NHIS would be moved to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In recent years, SMI has lobbied NASCAR for an additional Cup race at the 1.5-mile speedway but have been told no.
New Hampshire International Speedway owner Bob Bahre was not available for comment on Wednesday, but said last month that he’d “talked to about eight different groups of people” regarding the possible purchase of the one-mile track. Bahre partnered with Smith before on the purchase of North Wilkesboro Speedway in 1996 and moved the race dates to NHIS and Texas Motor Speedway, respectively.

Would have loved to be in the store when they came in.
I’m way ahead of you. I am working behind the scenes with PRB to raise 20 million dollars to save the trucking side and name me to head the accounts payable dept...
Two races.....
I think Nascar told BS a while back that this would be the only way to get a second date at LVMS.
This is hugh!
After day 3 of MCSE Boot Camp, this made the brain happy again!
Thanks, WCG!
MCSE?? What sort of bootcamp is that?
And, that date will probably be in the chase.
When do you ship out and do you have enough clean socks?
lol
I've certainly got my fill of DHCP, DNS, GPO, server mgmt, etc.
That stuff is enough to make one WANT to ship out!
I fried my digital brain back in the 20th century while taking a Adult Ed class on MSDOS. My life was not the same until my grand kids started school and the school had all Macs and then Netscape came. My life has not been my own since...
Let it go compeltely under and then buy it, that way there will be more money for the race team. ;)
Maybe nascar learned their lesson after the TMS stockholders had to file suit for the our 2nd race.
What does it feel to post a thread killing reply.
It happens to me several times a day :(((
Everything is either done, or it isn't, but I'm rolling come daylight. That's IF we're not completely fogged in. LOL
who's hugh and whats his connection at LVMS

a second race would be very cool!
Northbound and down!
Have fun!!
Hope you’re bringing your long johns.
Debating that right now. LOL
Don’t forget your tickets and credit cards. Enjoy your weekend...
