Another Track Dispute Building
Roger Penske would like to build a complex of test tracks at his team’s mammoth headquarters at the Mooresville (North Carolina) Business Park.
But neighbors are concerned about the noise and are organizing a fight to try and stop it.
Thursday morning a Penske Racing representative met with neighbors to assure them they would do all they could to keep the noise down, but most neighbors say aren't convinced, and they believe with all the new housing coming to the area, in addition to the fact that the Penske complex is in the middle of six neighborhoods, the tracks would not be welcome neighbors.
When the Penske proposal went to the local planning board it was voted down 9 to 0.
This coming Tuesday, commissioners will vote on allowing a variance to the zoning that would allow Penske to build his test track complex, and a group who oppose the track expect to be out in force.
