I see where they just put it up for sale. They are asking $700,000 for it.

That saddens me. Merle started out trying to keep the place open. 



My dad drove late models in the early 70's at North Hills, Butler, Mercer, Blanket Hill, and occasionally Tri City. We won the last late model track championship at Blanket Hill.

Sunday night is really tough. Most guys don't even race twice a week anymore. And those that do race that much are running Friday and Saturday. I was up there a couple of times in '21 and once last year. Had decent fields and good crowds. I'm guessing he is not having a good year this year and can see the handwriting on the wall.
