Heartland Park Ownership

Bill Mitchell · 06-17-2014, 05:15 PM

Listening to 106.9 on the internet here at the shop and my brother heard that Ray Erwin selling ownership back to the city of Topeka in exchange for around 3.5 million in bonds and the city was going to develop some of land around the track to pay for the bonds.

I have only been to Heartland Park a handful of times, but what a beautiful facility it is. Its one of my favorite tracks to go to.

Wonder what will become of it?

According to the press release:

"The current owner, Jayhawk Racing, will continue to operate the track until February 2015. The city will look for someone to buy the track from them. The city is not planning on operating it."

For whatever it's worth, the city of Topeka and it's businesses do support the track and do a pretty good job of promoting the success of the track. Hopefully whoever takes over operating it will continue with the current programs. The staff that works there have been there for many years, and are true advocates for drag racing, along with other forms of racing.
