WVMS reopening?

[Scott Boesel]

Saw on Facebook that West Virginia Motor Speedway plans to reopen for 2021 and going back to its 5/8 track. I would post the link but I have no clue how but it’s on 357 world of dirts Facebook page. Sure hope it’s true that would be awesome

Yes, lots of work going on there lately. Great facility when kept up.

Love the big track, seen some really good racing there. Wendell Wallace winning the DTWC from 27th and Davey Johnson 32nd to 2nd to him.

Hillside seating was great, good place for DTWC.

Well then, they should halt the re-opening since you spoke your opinion. Thanks we will not miss you when it’s a go!

Quite the undertaking given the condition of WVMS due to years of no occupancy. Have no reason to doubt Cody Watson and that gang won't pull it off. Constant improvements at Tyler County over the last few years and what they've done at Ohio Valley this year should be commended.

I only worry about car counts at that place. Seems like local cars quit going to WVMS years ago when the prices of the sport went up. I believe the last time WoO was there, they had around 21 late models and that was the shortened track.

If they can get the support from the local cars, the place has a bright future. I look forward to watching a variety of different shows there.

Wv has a lot of late models, but not many that have the financial means to go run a track like that. That's why it's closed and will close again.

Since we are all spending their money ,They could fashion a smaller flatter track inside it for the local racing and make everyone happy.

Unfortunately that’s the truth. If they reopen it as a 5/8, it has no chance.

Same people have 2 tracks within the area for their weekly shows, Tyler County and Ohio Valley. I doubt they're looking upon WVMS as anything but a special events venue.

You all sound like broken records, too big skip, too big skip, too big. Obviously you've never been to Port Royal which is smack dab in the middle of sprint territory and has become the late model destination for most of the cars in Pa.

I hope it comes back. I'll be there to watch again.
