Dover Motorsports has shut down its Memphis track because of harsh economic conditions. The full story is at racer.com http://www.racer.com/Memphis-Motorsports-Park-to-close-down/article/156877/
The bad thing is that's one more non ISC oval that doesn't operate anymore. The only potential upside for the ICS is perhaps a chance to piggyback at two weekends at Dover tracks in the future.
They're moving the Truck race to April 2, with an Bush race on April 3, and the Bush race to Oct. 23 at Gateway. The Sunday slot on both those weekends is free, and while it would mean going head-to-head with a Cup race, maybe it would be two low-risk ovals the ICS could pick up in 2011.
