NHIS Reconfiguration?
Now Bruton Smith has NHIS will he move a date the second date to Vages? or reconfigure the track? or both. NHIS races have been boring as hell this year :o , add some banking to it (hell even try and make it what bristol usd to be).
What would you like to see done at NHIS?
-
Add some banking and stands
-
leave it alone, the track is unique and shouldn't be changed.
I think Pocono or Cali should've lost a date before New Hampshire.
I like some creativity in tracks, not 1.5 mile dull 15 degree banking, single file racing
-
Keep in mind the track has made the old apron part of the track, so it's now 4 and 12 degrees on the banking.
-
Brian france was just quoted on NascarNow that the deals & schedule for '08 are finalized. So there will be no transfer of races dates until '09.
-
Bruton Smith was just on camera. The announcer tried to nail him down on his plans for the track and race dates, he wasn't playing.;-) BTW the deal was $343mil!
-
FYI, apparently Bob Bahre tossed in his 50% of North Wilkesboro Speedway as part of the deal. Bruton Smith nows owns 100% of North Wilkeboro Speedway. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
-
In acquiring NHIS, Smith also got the Bahres' interest in North Wilkesboro.
"I'm now the proud owner of 100 percent of North Wilkesboro," Smith said. "I offered to give that to Bob for a Christmas present, and he said, 'Go to hell.'"
(i'm not sure if Smith was joking or not) ;)

When it comes to money, I expect Bob Bahre doesn't joke around.
He got the Cup date from North Wilkesboro but after that it was worthless to him. :s
-
BTW For those keeping score: The only independent (non ISC or SMI owned) tracks left in Cup are; Dover Downs (2 Cup dates), Pocono (2) and Indy (1).
