Reprint from Jayski"s (NASCAR Blog) NHRA sold

Bruton to make offer to buy NHRA: Speedway Motorsports [SMI] track owner Bruton Smith [Lowe's Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Bristol, Texas, Infineon Raceway] says SMI will make a formal presentation in the next seven to ten days to purchase the National Hot Rod Association [NHRA]. The proposal was to be made last week however due to the death of the wife of NHRA director Wally Parks the meeting was postponed. “I hope that (the presentation) will mean something”, said Smith, "but we haven’t bought it yet. I expect to buy it but when I don’t know. They approached me about selling to me…that was the first indication and of course I got interested and so I’m still interested. They do what we do but in a different way…they forget to turn left…they go straight but they sell tickets and that’s what we do. If I buy it we’ll be doing the same thing.” If SMI completes purchase of the drag racing series Smith says the headquarters would be moved from Glendora, California to Las Vegas.(PRN's Garage Pass Radio Show)(1-31-2006)

 

Dontcha think your title is just a LITTLE BIT misleading Bob?

 

I posted this last week.

 

When I first saw this, I had to buy a little SMI stock, just in case. ...and if it does happen, I'll have to buy a little more. Mr Smith does know how to run a business!
