CONCORD -- Speedway Motorsports plans to complete construction of
its $60 million drag strip near Lowe's Motor Speedway here in time
for a National Hot Rod Association event Sept. 11-14. The drag strip was
a source of controversy between Speedway Motorsports CEO Bruton Smith
("Old and in the Sway," January) and Concord officials, who
balked at its construction because of noise concerns but relented after
Smith threatened to move the speedway.
