Stewart Buys Into Paducah Raceway
Paducah International Raceway officials say that two-time NASCAR Cup champion Tony Stewart is now a fourth partner in ownership of the Kentucky track. In a statement on the track's Web site, the owners lauded Stewart's passion for the sport and his joining the group. "He has continually expressed interest in formalizing his involvement as a partner in the ownership of the track but none of the three current owners - Ken Schrader, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Bob Sargent - were willing to leave the project and remain committed to their future plans for the track," the statement credited to the owners reads. "Recently, provisions were made to welcome Stewart as a fourth partner in Paducah International Raceway. This expansion will only benefit the track, local community and dirt racing industry, and we look forward to having Tony on board. We are all committed to building upon the successes of this inaugural year and optimistic about the 2007 racing season." Paducah is a 3/8-mile track that hosts weekly racing for late model, modified and sprint cars.(Scene Daily)
