In a groundbreaking move, NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart has decided to sell his beloved Eldora Speedway after receiving a multi-billion dollar offer from tech mogul Elon Musk. The announcement sent shockwaves through the racing community, as Eldora Speedway has long been one of the most iconic dirt tracks in motorsports.
Stewart, a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and owner of Eldora Speedway since 2004, confirmed the sale after a series of discussions with Musk, who is known for his ventures in space exploration, electric vehicles, and cutting-edge technologies. While the exact terms of the deal have not been disclosed, it is believed to be one of the largest transactions in the history of motorsports.
Eldora Speedway, located in Rossburg, Ohio, has hosted some of the biggest events in dirt track racing, including the World 100 and the NASCAR Truck Series. Under Stewart’s ownership, the track has become a hub for grassroots racing, drawing fans and drivers from all over the country.
Stewart’s decision to sell comes as a surprise to many, considering his deep ties to the track and his history as both a driver and a promoter. However, the offer from Musk was reportedly too compelling for Stewart to turn down, signaling a potential new era for the track under Musk’s ownership.
Both Stewart and Musk are expected to release a joint statement in the coming days, providing further details on the sale and what the future holds for Eldora Speedway.
