Topic: North Wilkesboro Speedway Announcement
wilkesedc Posted 12:54 pm, 11/05/2009
Speedway Associates, Inc. will be holding a press conference to unveil their plans and intentions for the North Wilkesboro Speedway next Tuesday at 1:30, at the Speedway. Elected officials from all local governments will be attending the conference, and the public is invited. SAI officials have expressed that they would like the opportunity to assure Wilkes County citizens that they are legitimate. While not all details of their plan for the Speedway can be made public at this press conference, we believe that what can be released will be exciting news for Wilkes County. Wilkes EDC will attempt to answer what questions it can regarding this project; however, please be advised that all parties involved, including Wilkes EDC are under signed confidentiality agreements with SAI due to the sensitive nature of their project. As such, any information that is provided is as allowed by SAI, and there may be some information which Wilkes EDC may not be at liberty to discuss. We hope to see as many of you as possible at next week's press conference.

Bulldoze it down put a sams club or a target or somthing to bring some jobs to this county that dog wont hunt any more !!

pantherfan2255 Posted 4:35 pm, 11/05/2009
you think they can run a speedwat without creating some jobs? there are plenty of good places available to put a Sam's or Target! This is our roots...our heritage....this is going to be a great asset for the local economy!

I agree with batman. This is great news for the county. It will bring some jobs and maybe someone else will be interested in joining in to use it at other times. Thank You Terri Parsons.

Corey, does this mean you are no longer supporting Collins?

Also, dlstone, NASCAR is more than just the Sprint Cup Series.
