Bristol Motor Speedway has proposed a plan to bring NASCAR racing to our neighborhood using only public funding. THIS IS A BAD DEAL. Bristol is not putting any money into this plan, relying on taxpayer funding.

Consider that the Titan’s deal took the Metro Council an entire year! Ask Mayor Cooper and the Metro Council to stop ramming the NASCAR deal through at the 11th hour!

“I know that there are some timelines out there. But I don’t think that our authority is necessarily aligned with any of those timelines.” from Sports Authority Chair Bender. Nashville Banner #mustread nashvillebanner.com/2023/07/19/spe…

Rev those engines, but NOT in Nashville! We're not signing up for a $100M headache with Bristol Motor Speedway. Time to hit the brakes, Sports Authority! Read more here: tennessean.com/story/opinion/…

Sports Authority members were just told over text they will not be taking up racetrack related issues at their meeting today. Racetrack plan deferred yet again. It's all but certain this will be for the next mayor to decide.

According to texts received by Sports Authority this morning, the racetrack item has been deferred. It will not be taken up at today's meeting. This means the project is extremely unlikely to be finished in this Council term. Our reporting last night ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Breaking: Update from Nashville Banner & Nate Rau Update: 7:45 a.m.: According to texts from the Sports Authority on Thursday morning, the Speedway agenda item was deferred and will not be considered before the next meeting. #mustreadnews

Wake up, Nashville! The numbers don't lie! A staggering 59% of respondents are pessimistic about our city's affairs. Urban development is no joke, and the people's concerns run deep. Read more here: tennesseelookout.com/2023/07/24/pol…

🚨We've got action today at GEODIS Park! Don't miss the 4pm rally and 5pm community mtg to SAY NO to the racetrack expansion plan. Public comments begin at 6pm. Parking is available in Lot 9 and Lot 10. Register at bit.ly/fightthenoise.

Unpopular idea alert! Nashville residents are NOT on board with the 30,000 seat racetrack plan! Only 14% in support, and the rest say NO! tennesseelookout.com/2023/07/24/pol…

Analysis: What a Mess! Mayor Cooper's Speedway Deal is a Total Disaster. Failed timing, lack of support, and procedural roadblocks have driven this proposal into the ground. Save us the drama and admit it's a lost cause already! tennesseelookout.com/2023/07/25/ana…

Join us, NOTE, Stand Up Nashville, and local neighborhood associations TONIGHT for a Community Meeting at 5 PM at Geodis Park. This could be the nail in the coffin for this billionaire giveaway proposal. We need everyone there to put an end to this bad deal.

Thank you to everyone from CARE, NOTE, SUN, and other neighborhood groups who came out to voice their strong opposition to this bad deal. #citizensagainstracetrackexpansion

We did it and we'll keep doing it! The fight isn't over. Shout out to our coalition partners: @snapweho NOTE Nashville Citizens Against Racetrack Expansion @equityalliance1 SEIU 205 #MusicCityNotNoisyCity #NashvilleForAll

The construction of a 30,000-seat grandstand and track would require demolishing parts of our historic fairgrounds. This disregards the wishes of Nashville's residents who voted to protect this space.

This isn’t about politics – it's about what's right for OUR city! Democrats (72%), Republicans (59%), independents (57%) – we're all standing tall, united in our rejection!

Our 2021 survey found that 55% of residents oppose the expansion plan. In July, GBAO Strategies found that 61% of Nashville voters oppose the plan. Bottomline: The community is saying NO!

We want to thank people from all across Metro for making their voices heard. The proposal did not fit the track and the finances did not work. We’re glad everyone involved now has a chance to evaluate what could work for this historic facility. tennessean.com/story/news/loc…

The Tennessean article notes: “At the community meeting, 42 people spoke in favor of the deal and 38 spoke against. Of the 39 speakers who said they reside in the four zip codes closest to the speedway, 25 people (64%) spoke against the deal.”
