Dover Motorsports Inc. has ceased all operations at Memphis Motorsports Park, forcing NASCAR to revamp its Nationwide and Truck series schedule for 2010.
The track was scheduled to be purchased by Gulf Coast Entertainment, but due to lack of financing that fell through.
To replace the dates at Memphis, NASCAR has scheduled a Nationwide and Truck double-header on April 2-3 at Nashville Superspeedway and added a Nationwide race at Gateway International Raceway in St. Louis on Oct. 23.
“This was a difficult decision for us, but one that ultimately was dictated by economics,” said Denis McGlynn, President and CEO of Dover Motorsports. “We greatly appreciate the many years of dedication shown by our Memphis employees and their efforts to make Memphis such a great destination for the racing community – from racing fans and drivers to sponsors, team owners and sanctioning bodies. For all concerned, including the Memphis community, it is truly sad to see Memphis Motorsports Park taken off the racing schedule. NASCAR has approved the realignment of our NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series events from Memphis Motorsports Park to our Nashville and Gateway facilities.”
The realigned events and dates are as follows:
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
Nashville Superspeedway
April 2, 2010
(together with NASCAR Nationwide Series event on April 3, 2010)
NASCAR Nationwide Series
Gateway International Raceway
October 23, 2010
An ASA race scheduled for next weekend at Memphis Motorsports Park will still be held at the track.
Ticket refunds for 2010 events will be mailed out to fans in the next few weeks.
