Been seeing some social media hype about wanting to bring tri-city back to life. Is it just a sudden organized push of wishful thinkers, or is there some reason or rumors that its suddenly getting stirred back up in conversation? I for one would absolutely love to see them open, but I hadn't seen any news on here and I know how quick the rumors spread. Usually it starts with "tony Stewart was spotted there walking the grounds with his checkbook in his hands" haha

Those "likes" only mean something if someone with interest in the track sees that as a sign that its worth the investment to get it rolling. Unfortunately, most of those 1500 are not going to show up every week. Would love to see it start out as a specials only track similar to central pa before they scraped the good stuff off

Nascar's Mike Helton was so impressed with the truck race at Eldora that he and Tony Stewart are considering purchasing the track and adding seating and having a second Camping World truck series race there next year. How does that sound as a "good" rumor?
