Say Uncle!!!!
Well, it appears that the City Council of Concord has reconsidered their hasty decision of banning and rezoning the property Bruton Smith had intended to build a $60 million dollar drag strip facility on. The Charlotte Paper reports that they are now even considering giving Bruton a tax incentive to build the strip. Hmmm, sounds like a case of eating a little crow.Smith had made the threat that he would move his entire Lowe's Motor Speedway Facility to another location if his drag strip was not approved. The move would cost an estimated $350 million, and Bruton wouldn't have hesitated to act on that threat. It feels great to have someone stand up for drag racing like this, maybe this is a sign that drag racing is headed in the direction of mainstream acceptance?
Go BRUTON!
