The Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway could be on track to get a new makeover, but the proposal is being met with lots of concerns from community members.
One by one people took to the podium to share their thoughts on a plan that would have Bristol Motor Speedway managing, operating and maintaining the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.
Nearly two dozen people spoke against the proposal, while a dozen others shared their reasons for support including life-long NASCAR fan Norm Partin.
“I know this is a good thing for the city. I’m a taxpayer first and if it wasn’t good with taxpayers I would be against it,” Partin said.
He said the plan would help revitalize the historic track without costing taxpayers anything.
