If Nashville actually goes through with tearing down this track, and replacing it with a venue that causes even more noise than a race would, Nashville Tennessee will officially be a city I will NEVER visit again.
Who the hell wants to visit Tennessee in the first place they have crappy ass laws Memphis is the dangerous most dangerous city in the United States right now Nashville's growing in crime
All of this is making me think of what happened to Myrtle Beach Speedway. That track was torn down for a shopping district that never came to be, and now that patch of land is empty. I’m certain you can hear the ghosts of the past echoing across that plot, if you listen carefully. Let’s make sure nothing like that ever happens again. Hold fast and hold firm Nashville!
Same with the train they could try and either get the track closed or moved. They should have know that if you live next or near a racetrack airport, or railroad track, you're going to have noise to some degree.
@@stephenholloway6893 I live in a small farming community in Central Indiana, thare was a big stink about a land developer who bought up all this land to build a big housing gaited community thing. All big expensive houses. Any way one hog farmer refused to sell they built any way right next to him then had the county try and shut him down they couldn't. Eventually he was paid off or they used eminent domain or something calls his farms gone now and the addition is gone. It was the same thing though, these people bought houses next to a hog farm and bitched about the smell. I literally live in a town of a few thousand it was a big deal hear lol. My graduation class was only 150.
@kingkoopa64 That as well but my point is that if you move to an area with an noisy reputation or area then either deal with it or rethink your moving options.
The Cumberland Yard proposal sounds like the Greenway initiative in Santa Cruz, California. Special interest groups wanted the rail line from Watsonville to Davenport railbanked and replaced with a bike trail. The proposal was vehemently supported by a special interest group called Trail Now, who engaged in many of the same tactics as the Cumberland Yard people. The one obstacle to the plan was Roaring Camp Railroads, a popular heritage railroad that operates a line from Felton to Santa Cruz (as well as a narrow gauge line up Bear Mountain in Felton), which is considered a common carrier line due to having hauled freight in the past, and therefore the Surface Transportation Board would side with Roaring Camp in the inevitable litigation due to the fact they would be isolated from the national network. Unlike the Cumberland Yard plan, which has been laughed at by the fairgrounds at every turn, Greenway came dangerously close to succeeding. They managed to infiltrate loyalists into the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission, who began plotting behind closed doors with Trail Now and their leader, Brian Peoples, to file for the adverse abandonment of the line to Felton. Word of this leaked out, however, and both Roaring Camp and the public were outraged. Numerous public agencies voiced opposition to the Greenway plan. In response, Brian Peoples engaged in an aggressive misinformation campaign on Facebook, portraying Roaring Camp’s CEO as a greedy daddy’s girl (since she is the daughter of Roaring Camp’s founder) who scams taxpayers and abuses common carrier privileges to run an “amusement park ride” over state highways. Brian even publicly plotted to replace the Beach Train (as it is popularly known) with rubber-tire trolleys while ripping up Roaring Camp’s tracks to extend the trail to Felton. Brian claims he is an advocate for better options for cyclists, but in reality, he is an unhinged NIMBY who genuinely hates trains and is also anti-vax. The Greenway plan made it far enough to appear on the June primary ballot as Measure D, with Brian smugly assuming it would win. And then the results came in: 70% voted… *NO* Greenway had been defeated. Trail Now engaged in increasingly-unhinged narratives, convinced their goals were still achievable. Then it came out that Trail Now wasn’t a pro-cyclist group, but a real-estate scheme to bulldoze the rail line and allow Brian’s out-of-state developers build housing on the right-of-way.
That's on the same level of logic as cutting down trees that take in CO2 so they can install a windmill farm to produce energy that puts off less CO2. It's a lateral move.

I’m a NASCAR OG! Been a fan since the 1960’s! The return to Nashville is a great idea and will do tremendous good for the sport! The best thing we as fans can do is support BMI and their plan!
This mayor tried to hide a manifesto of a shooting that happened in a Catholic school because he wants to avoid "controversies". Sad to say, but this track is cooked unless NASCAR themselves put up a bigger threat.
Not even an urbanist would want this and they're about walkable and liveable cities with good public transit. Just build a public park outside with a view of the entire track in a way that can mitigate noise and enhance the experience.
Yeah the people who want to do this aren’t from Nashville. As a life long resident of Tennessee, 45 minutes from Nashville, I’ve grown to despise a majority of people that have moved here in the last few years who seem hell bent on changing everything about this place, especially the Fairgrounds. I wish those developers nothing but the worst.
I heard somewhere that it's the second oldest racetrack in America. If that's true, than get the Governor of Tennessee to make it a state historic site. That would help preserve it. Also, I was at the Nashville Superspeedway for the Cup race this year and the place was packed. I had to wait awhile for the parking lot to clear up before I could leave. There was a guy from Scotland seated next to me in the grandstand who said that he wanted to see NASCAR for himself while he was in the states. (He said that he normally watches F1 and that NASCAR would air very late at night over there.) With this much attendence and even international attention for NASCAR in the Nashville area, than surely the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway can be a great attraction too.
Governor Bill Lee is too busy building another football stadium next door to the one we already have which was built in 1999 to worry about the fairgrounds. The new 60,000-seat stadium will cost $2.1 billion, $1.26 billion of which is subsidized by the public.🤔
I saw this quote by them that said “we need to help Nashville reimagine a space that has been held hostage for so long by a concept that we feel is outdated” I don’t care if this is a diversion or not it just shows how out of touch with reality they are.
Spot on! Out of touch is right! Just as much out of touch as those political parasites who convince people we have to get CO2 admissions down to 0 because it’s harming the environment! When I’m reality everything they are pushing for is actually way more harmful to the environment, research what you have to do on disposing solar panels! It kills me people buy into it without researching or in the older generations case remembering what they learned in school! Going all electric is just plane stupid besides the fact they have lied about how electricity really works and is conducted but I could go on and on. Our atmosphere is made up of 0.04% coming up from 0.03% the last few decades or so and glad it did because if it gets to or below 0.02% plant life starts dying and I don’t think I need to explain any further why that would be really bad, least as of what we been taught, and that has come into question as well!
Cumberland Yards is not a real proposal. The people backing it at 100% anti Fairgrounds, racing, and development to the area in general. They don’t care about it. That drag strip will absolutely fall through if that proposal is accepted and the place will become a park or walking track
Just looking at it you can tell that it wasn’t designed by anyone who’s ever seen a drag strip before given that there’s no features from an actual drag strip. It’s so obviously a diversion
As a native from Nashville, there is no reason this should be a thing. Nashville fairgrounds is getting flamed whilst the MLS soccer team here isn't? Like we get nascar is loud sometimes but the shit in the stadium can get loud as hell too.This company also gives me flashbacks to the matty D and rackley WAR situation where if you said anything about them they'll block you even though they know damn well they're in the wrong.
Apparently you don't watch the news to know that most Americans don't want electric cars and the demand is low. That is why Chevy and Ford are cutting back on production for electric cars. Plus, if NASCAR really really cared about the Nashville Fairgrounds, NASCAR wouldn't have left the track in the 80's for Winston Cup and wouldn't have left after the year 2000, for the Busch Series. NASCAR is realizing that their form of "stockcar" racing isn't popular like it use to be and making the series more for everyone is a winner (segments/chase playoffs). This is why you don't ever ditch your tradition and hardcore fanbase to satisfy fairweather fans
The Nashville Fairgrounds needs a Nascar Whelen Modified Tour race. Nascar's oldest division at a place where open wheel racing is not as popular at a historic track. The Fairgrounds is also a good length for the Nascar Whelen Modified Tour
I did join in on the ratio fun with an anecdote about what happened to a local dirt track, which also was at a fairgrounds. This dirt track was raced on by Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon in their USAC days. The snobs across the lake, who moved there knowing full well there was a race track across from them, forced the city to shut the track down. Now the only thing it hosts is tractor pulls and demolition derbies during fair week
I think what's going to end up happening is either Nashville gets two races and replaces one Richmond race, or they will take a chance and run Nashville, one Richmond, and drop a second Richmond for North Wilkesboro

Plus I agree with you Jarrett, this whole scheme did not need to go viral in the first place and should’ve just been swept under the rug.
This whole organization is stupid and its even more stupid when they block and say they will report people for ratioing them and putting up valid criticism Also yes i am excited for nascar's return to the fairgrounds
look the nashvill fairgrounds is second oldest auto track in the usa second only to milwalki mile, third was the indy state fair but that closed to racing in 2021 to horse racing but at least was still there, though the very first auto race in us was said to be at knoxvill iowa, however we lost soo many tracks this year as it is there is no need to loose more, they can spare a few days to race on it and its the powers that be built 20 feet from the track itself with development and housing.
Personally, I like the idea of a multi-purpose dirt track, which can be used for both classic nascar races and also horse racing. You’d just need to implement careful maintenance between events. Thats what I think should be done with a lot of the classic short tracks that would otherwise be a little cramped for modern cars.
The Fairgrounds Speedway is a Nashville institution. It’s held car races and horse races since 1904, and still had horse racing up until 1957 when they paved the track. It held NASCAR races up until 1984, when disputes between city government and track management put an end to it. But it has continued to be a local and regional spot for car racing.🤔
I’m more into motocross we have an influx of electric dirt bikes like the failed Alta (thanks Harley) and the Stark Varg. NitroCross has group E that are 1000hp electric rally cars. They’re only entertaining and fun because of multiple turns and jumps. NASCAR and drag racing with electric will be like life size slot cars.
If I was making this video, I would title it: The dumbest Anti "proposal of all time, because that's what it is. And like you said, I don't see this proposal working out either.
See what people don’t know is the surrounding area thinks of the track as an eye sore. The soccer stadium and new high rises stands in stark contrast to the speedway. I’m sure people actually do want it torn down as it lowers property value.
So, during all the litigation and other miscellaneous crap that delays NASCAR's return to Nashville Fairgrounds, why not focus on reopening Rockingham Speedway? Then keep Rockingham and get two great tracks.
It's SMI, though. The same SMI that killed a beloved track so that their $#!++y Charlotte clone can take it, the same SMI that FORCES NASCAR to keep said track on the schedule else NWB goes that same path. I wouldn't get my hopes up
I as an artist am not opposed to spaces like this existing, lord know some places need it. But this group's "proposal" is so intentionally malicious to Nashville Fairgrounds and motorsports in general that it's outrageous and infuriating.
I could see Nashville maybe having special rules for noise, because the track is near people living near... But that's it. A city could have multiple interest and have an electric only car race later.
The vocal people that are against keeping the racetrack are the locals. Don't forget that Nashville is a very artsy, Democrat-haven city in Tennessee. Those people there don't care one iota about racing and the proposal reflects that. Same with Chicago and all the political and local pushback against the street course race there. They don't care about the racing, they only cared and allowed it because of the revenue it produced for the city. If the Nashville Fairgrounds could've produced the same high revenue, it would've enticed the city to keep it but I don't think that was exactly the case. The demographics and dynamics of the city of Nashville have changed significantly from the past and a racetrack there doesn't make much sense anymore. The Nashville Superspeedway works because it's not in Nashville itself, it's in Lebanon; different jurisdiction, different demographic, different political landscape. Much different. The cities of America are just no place for racing in my opinion, the political landscape doesn't care about it nor do the locals. The cities are quickly becoming their own separate countries in America do to policy changes. Keep racing to the outskirts, more rural towns outside of the cities. That's the bread and butter of Nascar and that's where it belongs. Unfortunately, that would mean the death of a track like the Nashville Fairgrounds but that's alright. You can easily build and replicate that track someplace else that would welcome it. Of course, you'd lose the history of the track and location but it's far from the first. I just don't see any scenario where the Fairgrounds stay the way it is right now. Locals and political leaders have been lobbying to get rid of it for a long time now. It's a slap in the face to turn it into what they plan on turning it into but oh well. A racetrack in a Democrat owned city is never going to work out in the long run.
I think NASCAR would do better if NASCAR owned the tracks they raced at and did like 4 events at each track so that each facility could make more each year. The cookie cutter 1.5 miles could be forgotten in favour of the older original tracks.
I guess you missed the announcement from the ceo of gm . That gm will stop making ev's and d9ing the same case Japanese automakerscare doing and building cars that run on hydrogen
We do not need three races in the state of Tennessee You got to get rid of one of them because you can't have it at Bristol and two races in Nashville so get rid of the Nashville super speedway cuz you can't have three races in Tennessee Is that stupid
The people purposing this and pushing to get rid of racing I can quite literally picture exactly what they look like.electric race cars will end auto racing for good mine as well just race rc cars in a back parking lot of a Applebees
Unpopular opinion; Nashville super-speedway should stay. Next gen does not race well at short tracks and the mile and a half racing is as good as it has been since gen 4. If we want nascar to stay in Nashville we need a fast track with good racing, not a short track that nascar has to struggle to change the car to race well in the next few years.
Personally I like Nashville Superspeedway better, but I don't think they should stop trying just so those losers can't have the satisfaction of winning, and if NASCAR can finally bring Cup back to the Fairgrounds it might have a ripple effect on saving other short tracks across the country.
Are you excited for the eventual return of NASCAR to the Nashville Fairgrounds?

Just in case we lose nashville fairgrounds due to these karens you can find the track in nr2003 if you wanna race next gens on it or any mod you want ❤️
It’s also available for purchase on iRacing as well.
Any way for us stuck with Nintendo consoles and potato PCs to get in on the fun?
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.Nr2003 works perfectly fine on potato PCs. I have an old DELL laptop from 2009 and it runs like a dream. Just look up a tutorial on how to install it and you will not regret it.

On a more serious note… those crybaby Karen’s can make what ever proposal they want but it ain’t gettin anywhere. Bristol and NASCAR as a whole are winning. Plus I agree with you Jarrett, this whole scheme did not need to go viral in the first place and should’ve just been swept under the rug.
This whole organization is stupid and its even more stupid when they block and say they will report people for ratioing them and putting up valid criticism
Also yes i am excited for nascar's return to the fairgrounds
Do I recall in the Fairgrounds proposal from SMI , they would yearly alternate from the fairgrounds & the SuperSpeedway ?
As a Midwesterner in missiouri it sets uo that I can see 3 tracks in a year Wil Iowa coming back after my home track gateway returned.
The sound of a stock cars v8 engine would probably make better music than any musician in Nashville
Assuming that any musicians are protesting.
@FlashoftheBlades yeah. Also sick roller blades
@@kingkoopa64Thank you. They’re Rollerblade Macroblade 110 3WD high-performance fitness skates.
We could rename the course "Cumberland Yard Speedway" :V
Out of all the attempts to change NASCAR, this is by far the most pathetic
look the nashvill fairgrounds is second oldest auto track in the usa second only to milwalki mile, third was the indy state fair but that closed to racing in 2021 to horse racing but at least was still there, though the very first auto race in us was said to be at knoxvill iowa, however we lost soo many tracks this year as it is there is no need to loose more, they can spare a few days to race on it and its the powers that be built 20 feet from the track itself with development and housing.
Dear god, its nothing but pipe dream after pipe dream with this place.
This is all a waste of time. Time is money. NASCAR could've had begun upgrading the Fairgrounds a year or 2 ago if not for this nonsense.
Nascar brings fans. County music was apart of of Circle track auto racing for years and years
As a Middle Tennessee Racing Fan im so happy this went from
"Middle Tennessee Racing Fans vs Board"
To
"Nascar Fans Vs Board "❤❤❤
Personally, I like the idea of a multi-purpose dirt track, which can be used for both classic nascar races and also horse racing. You’d just need to implement careful maintenance between events. Thats what I think should be done with a lot of the classic short tracks that would otherwise be a little cramped for modern cars.
Note: I’m not necessarily talking about this track in particular, but rather the older tracks which have fallen into disrepair.
The Fairgrounds Speedway is a Nashville institution. It’s held car races and horse races since 1904, and still had horse racing up until 1957 when they paved the track. It held NASCAR races up until 1984, when disputes between city government and track management put an end to it. But it has continued to be a local and regional spot for car racing.🤔
Lol would be hilarious if they did allow it to happen and then turned around and let NASCAR encircle it each year for a street race😂😂😂
I’m more into motocross we have an influx of electric dirt bikes like the failed Alta (thanks Harley) and the Stark Varg. NitroCross has group E that are 1000hp electric rally cars. They’re only entertaining and fun because of multiple turns and jumps. NASCAR and drag racing with electric will be like life size slot cars.
If I was making this video, I would title it:
The dumbest Anti "proposal of all time, because that's what it is. And like you said, I don't see this proposal working out either.
Who else is blocked by Cumberland Yard? Because I know i am
I am and I am proud to be.
They cannot handle criticism
same here. bunch of soft bums
I just said get ratio'd then got blocked
Yuppies have taken over Nashville
West Coast and East Coaster's moving in.
Where exactly on the East Coast?

Goofy that its getting smacked around my not just Nascar fans. Wonder what they do be smoking over there in Nashville.
racism about racing... now thats rich. (where's the JUST STOP OIL weirdos?)
Their proposal is like one of those crappy fan fictions that the fan thinks is the best thing ever but we all know it's a total flop
See what people don’t know is the surrounding area thinks of the track as an eye sore. The soccer stadium and new high rises stands in stark contrast to the speedway. I’m sure people actually do want it torn down as it lowers property value.
now they make this personal,way to personal
Hi!
@@DYLANMATHEWS49
hey man
So, during all the litigation and other miscellaneous crap that delays NASCAR's return to Nashville Fairgrounds, why not focus on reopening Rockingham Speedway? Then keep Rockingham and get two great tracks.
Glad that this isn't a thing. Hope that SMI can get a deal done soon.
It's SMI, though. The same SMI that killed a beloved track so that their $#!++y Charlotte clone can take it, the same SMI that FORCES NASCAR to keep said track on the schedule else NWB goes that same path. I wouldn't get my hopes up
That was Bruton Smith, his son seems to be trying to right the sins against NASCAR his father committed.
Now there's a parody account going around that exposes Cumberland Yard as a potential scam.
Who wants to make a satire account of these bozos? I know I want to
We are Nascar fans. Over reacting is what we do!
Sometimes it's better to overreact than to let events overtake you.
@@nickklavdianos5136for once I'm glad we do
Nashville is a icon.
Wow, what a good way to waste 100 million dollars.
I have a pretty bad feeling that we lost…
Carful. They might report you for harassment.
I as an artist am not opposed to spaces like this existing, lord know some places need it. But this group's "proposal" is so intentionally malicious to Nashville Fairgrounds and motorsports in general that it's outrageous and infuriating.
I could see Nashville maybe having special rules for noise, because the track is near people living near... But that's it. A city could have multiple interest and have an electric only car race later.
The vocal people that are against keeping the racetrack are the locals. Don't forget that Nashville is a very artsy, Democrat-haven city in Tennessee. Those people there don't care one iota about racing and the proposal reflects that.
Same with Chicago and all the political and local pushback against the street course race there. They don't care about the racing, they only cared and allowed it because of the revenue it produced for the city. If the Nashville Fairgrounds could've produced the same high revenue, it would've enticed the city to keep it but I don't think that was exactly the case. The demographics and dynamics of the city of Nashville have changed significantly from the past and a racetrack there doesn't make much sense anymore.
The Nashville Superspeedway works because it's not in Nashville itself, it's in Lebanon; different jurisdiction, different demographic, different political landscape. Much different. The cities of America are just no place for racing in my opinion, the political landscape doesn't care about it nor do the locals. The cities are quickly becoming their own separate countries in America do to policy changes. Keep racing to the outskirts, more rural towns outside of the cities. That's the bread and butter of Nascar and that's where it belongs.
Unfortunately, that would mean the death of a track like the Nashville Fairgrounds but that's alright. You can easily build and replicate that track someplace else that would welcome it. Of course, you'd lose the history of the track and location but it's far from the first. I just don't see any scenario where the Fairgrounds stay the way it is right now. Locals and political leaders have been lobbying to get rid of it for a long time now. It's a slap in the face to turn it into what they plan on turning it into but oh well. A racetrack in a Democrat owned city is never going to work out in the long run.
Sound barriers. Whoopee!! Problem solved
Posted a quote from a parody that had nothing to do with racing
Got blocked lmao
Nascar biggest rivalry s nascar vs Karen's
If nascar wants to race in Nashville race at either the super speedway or racing with Indycar in the streets of Nashville
No on the streets of Nashville.
Obligatory : Don't buy a house next to a race track. You have no right to silence.
Let’s make a drag strip where we exclude 98% of vehicles. That’ll bring in the dough!!!😂
I wouldn’t be completely surprised if this group of Karens just went ahead with their schizo plan anyway and tried to tear it down without approval.
What is a shame i hope they never do that people love the races there late models srx all of those
If nascar had the pull, aura that F1 currently has - they’d already be racing at Nashville fairgrounds… on the brink of being a regional sport again.
I think Elvis left Nashville
Just block them. End of story.
Bring back the fairgrounds
I think NASCAR would do better if NASCAR owned the tracks they raced at and did like 4 events at each track so that each facility could make more each year. The cookie cutter 1.5 miles could be forgotten in favour of the older original tracks.
NASCAR owns Kansas Speedway
Well I'd comment my feelings but already did that on DannyBs channel
All this bullshit is the reason I’ve been watching more and more sprint cars and late models this year.
I guess you missed the announcement from the ceo of gm . That gm will stop making ev's and d9ing the same case Japanese automakerscare doing and building cars that run on hydrogen
Fia planting a new series around hydrogen.
We do not need three races in the state of Tennessee You got to get rid of one of them because you can't have it at Bristol and two races in Nashville so get rid of the Nashville super speedway cuz you can't have three races in Tennessee Is that stupid
I like some electric racing series, but i don't like it being used as some kind of replacement for other racing series. Stupid proposal.
Who else got blocked by these bozos on Twitter?
Why would you move by that there’s gonna be if you don’t like loud noise
The people purposing this and pushing to get rid of racing I can quite literally picture exactly what they look like.electric race cars will end auto racing for good mine as well just race rc cars in a back parking lot of a Applebees
Unpopular opinion; Nashville super-speedway should stay. Next gen does not race well at short tracks and the mile and a half racing is as good as it has been since gen 4. If we want nascar to stay in Nashville we need a fast track with good racing, not a short track that nascar has to struggle to change the car to race well in the next few years.
Personally I like Nashville Superspeedway better, but I don't think they should stop trying just so those losers can't have the satisfaction of winning, and if NASCAR can finally bring Cup back to the Fairgrounds it might have a ripple effect on saving other short tracks across the country.
7:12 HAHA LOL
If Denny wants it then so do I
I really don’t they thought their job lan through at all
How friggin gay can you get.
Just go ahead and file for bankruptcy.
