Love the dirt racing they have been having there. It would be a good idea for him to build a track there beside the others like Charlotte. Dirt track racing is growing exponentially fast.

Really awesome track! Able to see whole track from pretty much anywhere you sit. Great atmosphere. One of my favorite tracks to go to. Always hosts really fun events.
