LEGACY OF LIES
We plan(ned) on making the trip from Concord, NC to Greenville, SC tonight. Last chance to fight for Greenville Pickens Speedway.. The conditions have that trip doubtful. PLEASE READ!
A developer is planning on tearing the track down. Or should I say โthe liarโ is planning to tear it down? The last time we made the trip down to Greenville, to the initial rezoning hearing, he was resolute that he had โno intentions to do touch the track footprintโ. Two years later and his truth is revealed (as we predicted).
This will lead to the ultimate death of racing in one of NASCARโs leading markets. The death of a legendary speedway. Hallowed grounds. The death of history. The final nail in the coffin. Yet another South Carolina Race track will disappear.
Now people in the area will pack snacks and drinks and a blanket and take their children to go watch the warehouses and apartments. People will travel across state lines and spend their money in restaurants, stores and at hotels to see the semi-trucks rolling in with supplies. Thats what brings tourism dollars flooding in!!! Great for @VisitSC / @greenville isnt it?
While the developer is allowed to erase this historic landmark and build a financial legacy for his own family, let us not forget the government that enabled this so our children could witness the destruction of history. A true legacy of lies.
@A_S12@GettyImages@f1miami Hey @A_S12 when was the last time that actually attendance statistics meant more? Just curious to know how bad modern Motorsportsโ priorities have become ๐คฆโโ๏ธ We need more people getting to experience the sport in person.

The entry list for the South Carolina 400 this Friday and Saturday is ridiculously stacked, and that's to say nothing of Dale Earnhardt Jr's reunion with the stylized Budweiser No. 8

If only NASCAR could replicate this vibe even to a tenth degree lol also I couldnโt find @SpotterBrett anywhere so maybe Iโll see him at the 400 #COCKSBY4 ๐
