Nascar Tug-of-War Ends in Ona Track Uncertainty
Nascar cut ties with International Speedway jeopardizing the Mountaineer 590 event at Ona on August 19. International has surrendered the Ona lease, local owners regain control, and a $10,000 escrow looms as a race purse and official costs. If no group steps up, the Mountaineer 500 could be canceled, while access road and track length issues hinder revival. Local promotion and debt clearance are urged to restore operation and trust.
