Well, maybe not quite yet, but it certainly appears to be headed that way after your agent saw from a variety of sources that Memphis Motorsports Park was bought today by a Florida-based buyer.In fact, it was a hot topic on message boards galore, as well as various media outlets.To read more about the purchase, click on the following link, which a story in the Memphis Daily News. This is an interesting piece that goes into great detail regarding the auction and the track: http://memphisdailynews.com/editorial/Article.aspx?id=54887 So, what does this exactly have to do with the ADRL?Well, your agent is glad you asked. The ADRL had a record-setting day at MMP in 2009, drawing a massive, overflow crowd that was believed to have broken single-day attendance records for the track. It was a tremendous hit and everyone at the ADRL was sad to see the park get closed following the year.That’s not the only layer, either. Former MMP track vice president and general manager Jason Rittenberry is now the President of Palm Beach International Raceway, where the ADRL will visit for the first time in 2011 (April 15-16). The CEO of PBIR, Joe Lubeck, is also the man behind the purchase of MMP, which seems to be great news for the ADRL, considering the strong relationship that has recently been formed between the ADRL and PBIR. If the bid is accepted - and that may still be an if - that will be nothing but good news. Could it fill in the spot as the 10th race in the ADRL’s 2011 schedule? There’s no way to know that now, but your agent knows MMP and the surrounding fanbase certainly loves the ADRL and it would make for a great destination.Of course, there is plenty left to be worked out in a lot of regards and your agent knows the ADRL is happy with its current 2011 Tour. But nobody would be complaining if the ADRL showed up in Memphis this coming year, either.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ADRLAgent660/~4/bpWL7ubu5k0
