Nashville SC has given the city a Thursday deadline over deciding on the fate of a parcel of property near the speedway.
The future of NASCAR and stock car racing at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is currently dependent on how Mayor John Cooper mediates a dispute with a Major League Soccer franchise owner over 2.4 acres of fairgrounds property.
The first-year mayor is working to restructure an agreement made by predecessor David Briley to bring an MLS franchise to a yet-to-be constructed stadium on the fairgrounds, in part, to facilitate NASCAR’s return to the legendary short track already located on the property.
The construction of the stadium on fairgrounds property was first approved in 2018 and is intended to coexist alongside a renovated version of the 60-year-old speedway.

Five time NASCAR Truck series winner Rick Crawford has had his appeal rejected on his 130 month conviction in 2018 on one count of enticing a minor. The 61 year olds last win came in 2006, with his last start coming in 2012.

Great blog post documenting Ryan Newman’s concerns over cars getting airborne over the years, saying that someone would be seriously hurt if something wasn’t changed. Ironically he’s been the one unfortunately hurt.

We dont have any NASCAR live coverage here in Aus because of lack of interest. They used to but canned it a year or two ago.
We sometimes get highlights for the bigger meetings.
