Nashville Speedway’s Future in Voters’ Hands | Nashville News
Description
Nashville’s historic Fairgrounds Speedway is on the brink of a major vote—local residents are pushing to remove auto racing from the city charter, sparking a high-stakes petition drive with just 90 days to gather 50,000 signatures. After a legal hurdle forced a rewrite and re-certification, the issue could hit the ballot by August 27. Supporters want voter approval, while opponents—including former racers—argue it’s really about preserving the fairgrounds’ legacy and pushing for affordable housing, not ending racing. The fate of the track now rests in the hands of the people signing the petition.
