I hear stories about riverside from my older buddies wish I could have gone

That would have been awesome to go see the Cup Series racing in my neck of the woods. Being someone from the Laurel Highlands in Western Pennsylvania, it would have been amazing to go to. They were probably even ahead of it’s time, as a track like that would probably work today. They even planned to have a dome. Such a shame it never happened. I love Pocono Raceway, but this would have been better. But NASCAR is looking at a potential Pittsburgh Street Course, so at least there’s potential for the Pittsburgh market. Western Pennsylvania needs to try to have a shot at a NASCAR race. But you have major obstacles to overcome. My local short track, Jennerstown Speedway in Somerset County, is good for the local short track racing scene, but the design of it is not enough to host a NASCAR sanctioned race unless the track gets major renovations. Motordrome Speedway in Smithton out in Westmoreland County closed in 2016, and has been idling since then. And Lake Erie Speedway out in Erie is sort of like Pikes Peak Raceway, with only occasional non sanctioned races going on there right now.

Hell Yeah

Correction: Was a trapezoid shaped oval track, not an tri-oval.

Turn that sucker into a bigger Dirt only track big enough to do the Cup and Trucks dirt races.
