This track was the best. Hell, I met Albert Pujols in the pits one time. He was buddies with Jeramiah Gibson and was there watching him race. Man, I miss this place. Very sad to see it in the state its in now.
bubba35741 the last crash was Tony Sawyer's crash back in i think 03 or 04 maybe early than that and his helmet got melted to his face becase it was a nylon hemet.
the problum with gettin a new owner is the track has about $3mil in liens against it so anyone that goes to by it wil have to pay that PLUS what ever they buy it for plus try to rebild a track name that brad mcdonald ran to shit i live about 5 min from the track i have talked to the ppl about it
I know one of the drivers involved in the last accident was josh krug!!!!! He wasnt the one that blew though!!!!!! Man, that was a scary sight to see live!!!!!! I never ran so fast in my life!
It was opening night in '97. I was there I remember it well. He was dominating the race, had about a straight away to a half track lead and went into turn 1 and the car didn't turn. It was as brutal crash.
ya in the crash at 2 47 steve was fine my dad nows owns that truck theat u see on the tape the 77 and it a great truck i must say i -70 does have 28 degrees of bankingf it's the sister track to bristol it's america's fastest weekly racetrack and for all of those saying u love the track plz plz plz come out and watch on fridays or saturdays i needs every fan the shows up as a driver on the dirt track plz come out and enjoy racing on the high banks
The wreck at 2:47 was Steve Barber and he was fine. The rear bumber on the other truck broke the halo bar and bent the a pillar, but didn't go far enough to hurt the driver.
Oh wow... it's something else to see those crashes from a different perspective. Gives me chills again to remember watching from the pits the first time.
at nz speedway when ever theres a crash evryone loves it. bt u guys are like o knw. most people go to the speedway to see crashs not to see who wins coz that get boring
the crash at :28 i was there

According to the photos I've seen,revitalizing the asphalt is the biggest problem..The other problem is how much the tax liens are !

What if the track got a new owner?Could we get volunteers to clean up? Remember when the ad was Hoffman returns to challenge Phillips!!!!!!!

@TheI70racenut I don't think the track will ever reopen. It will take a lot more then cleanup, its in really sad shape.

i think the one at 2:20 is more brutal that the one at 1:54 for the fact the other truck contacted his windshield!!
