The latest step towards a potential NASCAR return to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway played out through dramatic political theater during a Fair Board of Commissioners meeting at the Karl Dean Ballroom in Downtown Music City on Tuesday night.
Speedway Motorsports Inc., which also operates nearby Bristol Motor Speedway, is seeking to obtain the lease to the facility owned by the City of Nashville and Davidson County.
Such an agreement would see Bristol Motor Speedway become the de facto promoters of the historic short track, and pending an eventual renovation project, clear a pathway for all three NASCAR national touring divisions to return.
