News broke at the Merritt Speedway banquet last night that the owner Mike Blackmer had purchased Tri-City Motor Speedway in Auburn MI. It’s agreeably sad news throughout the racing community. Steve and Erica bought the old pavement track almost 10 years ago and built a dirt track inside of the old track and it quickly became one of Michigan’s best tracks. High car counts and high fan counts. Rumor has it they will be dropping IMCA mods and American Racer Late Models. And adding what is a dying class in Michigan, UMP Late Models. A lot of are people bummed and leery with the direction this promoter(that isn’t well liked) will take the track.
