What's up with Hagerstown?

Rumors have swirled since mid-season. I don't buy into any until official releases are made.

Ernie Davis is out, and that is a fact as he released his own statement. From his statement, it sounded like it was his own decision. I was told that he did have an option to return for 2017, but it is what it is, and he's done.

I don't forsee a takeover from Greg Gunter. The rumors of Gunter were releasing his lease of Potomac to the Hollidge family, and purchasing Hagerstown. I was told a purchase offer of Hagerstown was made and declined by Frank Plessinger.

I've been told that Joe Padula and Doug Timmons are in the mix to take over racing operations. Again, just more rumors and hearsay.

The only I know is we will all need to wait patiently to see how this plays out. The important thing is Hagerstown needs good leadership in 2017.

would love to see Timmons or Padula run Hagerstown, if the Plessingers
Don't operate it in 2017. Heck, I'd love it, if either one of those guys took over at Roaring Knob!

Hearing rumors that Doug Timmons/Lisa Plessinger will be co promotors in 2017?

A partial schedule of the Appalachian Speedweek is on their website and Selinsgrove is in the final Saturday show and Hagerstown is out. So other than the Lucas show not looking like much will go on.

Hopefully Hagerstown gets things back on track for next year but if not, maybe Lucas Oil could look at moving the race over to Lincoln (PA) or Williams Grove speedway.

Nothing official but I'm hearing they will be running the Lucas Oil show as scheduled an that is a good thing.

Don't count Hagerstown out. Just look for a date change.

RacerRose, congratulations. You will be an asset to the track. Communications has been lacking a bit over the past few seasons.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to 2017. I know many things and details are being worked on, and all I can do preach patience. Everyone is chomping at the bit to find out what is going on. Believe me, everyone is working on it. When I get information, it will get relayed ASAP.

Right now, I can answer this original question to the thread. What's up with Hagerstown?

Hagerstown Speedway is racing in 2017.
