Restore Our Fairgrounds

Preserving the Nashville Fairgrounds’ legacy of community green space.

Learn the real history of the Nashville Fairgrounds. It's a lot more interesting than you think. For more information: https://t.co/Qy226vo6He

Amen. “Nostalgia is one thing, but practicality is another. If NASCAR were to invest more in the Nashville Superspeedway than the Fairgrounds Speedway … it would understandably be a lot better for the sport in terms of return on investment.” https://t.co/QOG1vVj6HK

ICYMI … We’ve helpfully curated video of @Kenny_Wallace rightfully calling on NASCAR to “shitcan” the run-down, trashed-out Nashville Fairgrounds speedway. Y’all show Kenny some love for speaking truth!

[Restore Our Fairgrounds @NashFairgrounds]

Hey @Kenny_Wallace … In case you didn’t know, the Nashville Fairgrounds speedway used to be a park (see below) before it got paved over for NASCAR. The vast majority of Nashvillians simply want to restore a park at that site. Why not let the voters decide?

Kenny Wallace smartly points out that NASCAR should forget about the Nashville Fairgrounds speedway and instead double-down on the superspeedway 35 miles away in Wilson County. A rare voice of reason in a sea of flat beer and unbridled testosterone. https://t.co/b4PfdovgWH

Three things in life are certain. 1: Death; 2. Taxes; and 3. @LeviAIsmail & @NC5 covering up for @ItsBristolBaby. This “investigative” report is silent on the fact that @JMaynardII is the lead lobbyist in billionaire @MarcusSMI’s quest to bilk Nashville taxpayers. #WakeUpLevi

NC5 Investigates: Former Metro councilman and prominent pastor Jerry Maynard Jr., his father, and sister are accused in a federal lawsuit of involvement in a "fraud scheme" to steal $200 million from drug company Eli Lilly. https://t.co/QVdkoHvWbw

Yep. “The problem when you put something in (the Metro Charter) by petition is that someone else can try to take it out.” https://t.co/fdnVfWI0iC

@WKUMeg05 @LeviAIsmail What does affordable housing mean to you?

Dear Nashvillians: We remain 101% committed to giving voters the opportunity to decide the future of the fairgrounds. https://t.co/CbtsiiHGbp

Ken Schrader speaks the truth — and highlights a growing divide within the @NASCAR community. Fact: The more intelligent racing fanatics are skeptical about the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.

Sold out is great… but is Nashville’s hype sustainable? 🤔

@MatthewDillner Behold … The fairgrounds speedway site of 1909 before @NASCAR paved it over in the late-1950s. Beautiful, wasn’t it? #RestoreOurFairgrounds

[Restore Our Fairgrounds @NashFairgrounds]

@Hendrick_488 @trentpd @NASCAR Community green space (versus an asphalt playground for billionaires like @MarcusSMI) is one of the main goals. Here’s what the fairgrounds speedway site looked like before @NASCAR paved it over in the late 1950s …

Another @NASCAR track bites the dust. #DyingSport

Fontana está morta!

A pista americana está abandonada. Após ter 80% do seu terreno vendido. Era esperado a construção de uma pista menor, de meia milha, mas isso nem saiu do papel. Mais uma pista morta pela especulação imobiliária na Califórnia #NASCAR

@cfolsom_racing @NASCAR Green space is God’s original creation. It actually predated auto racing. If you prefer asphalt to green space, then I guess we’ll just agree to disagree.

Dear Nashville: This North Carolina-based driver would really like to run up credit-card debt on the backs of local taxpayers and bring the “Hooter’s Pro Cup” to our publicly owned fairgrounds. #NuffSaid

[Landon Huffman @LandonHuffman]

This past weekend’s @CARSTour race at @RaceFairgrounds very much had that 90s BGN or prime Hooter’s Pro Cup feel.

Huge crowd. Huge location. Big sponsors.

[Restore Our Fairgrounds @NashFairgrounds]

@cfolsom_racing This is what the fairgrounds speedway looked like before @NASCAR paved it over in the late-1950s. We know you’re not from around here, so we’re happy to school you. #RestoreOurFairgrounds #LetTheVotersDecode

[Restore Our Fairgrounds @NashFairgrounds]

@LandonHuffman You’re exactly right. We know nothing about Hooter’s. And we don’t want Hooter’s in our neighborhoods. https://t.co/TVCuBiCNW2
