They'd have a lot of work to do between now and then on the track, as well as in the pits to have a race there, but it is a beautiful facility.

I would be happy to see a race at Barber. I live about 100 miles away and it's as close as Nashville for me. People who don't know the area would be surprised if Barber was a bit success, but I think it would be. Barber is close enough to Atlanta to draw from there, as well as B'ham and all points in between.

Barber Park has done better than most tracks with Grand-Am and AMA. I've been advocating an OW race there for ages. And Barber would certainly rank among the best facilites that AOWR would be running on.

I hope they go for it.

I like how there are more tracks than available dates on the race calendar, rather than the other way around!
The grand-am races at Barber are pretty sweet, could be a great event but in a nascar heavy territory.

I live in Atlanta and we have 10 guys going in a caravan there today for the grand am race.

I think Barber may face some competition from Dale Jr.'s new race track in Alabama.

I'd rather the ICS goes to Dale Jr.'s track, but that's just me

Awh, let's see. Another road course or another oval track to be added. Which one over which one? How about drawing more NASCAR fans by racing at tracks owned by the great NASCAR drivers!

The standard traditionist IRL management type will want another ....

God, the IRL is becoming so popular with demands by promotors to host races, we're going to have a 50 race schedule in 2009, or 2010, or ....

It's so great to be an OWR fan in America, huh!

Dale's place has a road course too.

Forget that, give me the oval
