STS Motorsports Inc. announced today that they will once again begin work to save North Wilkesboro Speedway, following its closure following a $100,000-to-win Super Late Model event in 2011. While previous efforts to save the speedway have been met with what STS called “pitfalls and mismanagement,” the group has decided to reopen the issue and ask the community for help.“In the past, no one has asked the community what they thought and how things could be done,” said Robert Marsden, founder STS Motorsports Inc.. “We seemed to see people come in with grand ideas that fizzled out over time, while disenfranchising the motorsports community as a whole.”
As part of its renewed effort, STS Motorsports Inc. will begin a donation campaign asking racing fans to donate to the cause. In return, contributors will receive race tickets, pit passes get their name on a race, or drive the pace car during an event at North Wilkesboro, once the donation campaign reaches it goal.
“We will use our grassroots skills to bring the message to race fans, giving them a return on their investment to lease and reopen North Wilkesboro Speedway” said group spokesman Steven B. Wilson. Fans and businesses interested in donating can find information on the campaign at www.indiegogo.com/northwilkesborospeedway.
The campaign will kick off using social media, word of mouth and help from the community hoping to see North Wilkesboro Speedway reopened.
