The old I70 Speedway (asphalt) has been rotting for some time. New owners are restoring it and deep sixing the pavement and going DIRT! This is a rare thing these days. I hope they do it up right and are successful. This is just east of KC area.

OLD NEWS BUT STILL GOOD NEWS.
Word is according to the article I red the folks that own Heartland Park Dragstrip & road course in Topeka, KS bought it.
Will be interesting to see what divisions they decide to race there.

I heard it will be a half mile dirt track for specials only.

Same here, mainly geared toward sprint cars aswell.

It was dirt for a time in the 80's, youtube has several WoO events there on dirt.

I believe this is where Bob Keselowski broke the wall and flipped in a truck in the 90's.

This track was on the trucks original schedule. Back when they had halftime.
