Unity Raceway calls it quits
The owner of Unity Raceway is getting out the stockcar racing business in Maine.
Ralph Nason Sr. has cancelled the track's 2008 season and is looking for someone to buy, lease or rent the Unity property, according to VillageSoup.com. Nason said that attendance at the track's events has declined in the past three years. Rising gas prices and the economic slowdown has made it more expensive for drivers and more diffcult for fans to drive to the rural raceway and pay the ticket price, he told the news website.
Nason also owns the Autodrome Montmagny in Quebec and plans to keep that track, VillageSoup.com reported.
