A $200,000,000 racing complex located east of Denver Colorado on a 1,100 acre site is set for ground breaking late next spring with racing events scheduled beginning in 2013.
Plans call for a one mile banked oval, a road course, a drag racing facility, indoor and outdoor karting tracks and a concert pavilion. Seating capacity will be 90,000.
Developer Bill Schuck claims it will be the largest sports facility ever built in Colorado. He was quoted last May saying, "This economy is very, very difficult. Fortunately, we're working on a concept that's very unique. This is not just another real estate deal. We have spoken with NASCAR team owners. We have spoken with drivers. We have spoken with numerous investors, all of whom have expressed an interest in becoming part of this facility. Colorado needs a motor sports facility."
I’ve got to say this is a very positive development. It reinforces the stability of NASCAR and the other forms of racing when people are willing to invest so heavily in it.
Just like in other sports, I wonder how the mile high atmosphere will effect NASCAR's racing engines. Will the thin air change aerodynamics? I guess if everything works out we'll soon see!

Finally, here’s a tongue in cheek look at the current status of racing in the Centennial State:
With racing and fans like this, NASCAR’s gotta jump in and save these people from themselves!
Something I ran across Thursday AM...
Check out this wreck in Leon Spain last weekend...
The driver was the only person hurt, thank goodness, and he was just shaken up!
