Here in Charlotte Bruton Smith (owner of Lowe's Motor Speedway) just brought the city of Concord and its leaders to their knees by threating to move if they did not let him build a major NHRA track facility on his race track property. When the city got wind of his intentions (he was already grading for the track) they moved to cancel any permits and voted not to allow a drag racing track. In the span of a few weeks that changed to the city offering him 80M (believe the number is correct) in incentives to build a drag racing track when he threatened to close Lowe's and move to another city Your post above got me to thinking about the residents who's subdivision actually will border the track!
