Dover Motorsports, Inc. announced that it was ceasing all operations at Memphis Motorsports Park and that it would not be promoting any events in Memphis in 2010.
The Memphis facility had been under an agreement of sale to Gulf Coast Entertainment when Golf Coast was unable to secure financing. "This was a difficult decision for us, but one that ultimately was dictated by economics," said Denis McGlynn, President and CEO of Dover Motorsports. "We greatly appreciate the many years of dedication shown by our Memphis employees and their efforts to make Memphis such a great destination for the racing community - from racing fans and drivers to sponsors, team owners and sanctioning bodies. For all concerned, including the Memphis community, it is truly sad to see Memphis Motorsports Park taken off the racing schedule.
Personal note: The first and only time I saw the World of Outlaws was at the old Memphis Motorsports Park back in 87 or 88... Was an awesome experience... I remember asking my Dad how they could so fast!
