The Bristol Motor Speedway today requested a pause on a proposed deal to renovate the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, until the next mayor and council take office, reports the Tennessean. The proposal was unlikely to reach a final vote this term and would necessitate calling a special meeting this month to meet the requirement of three readings to pass. Bristol expressed confidence that the deal will move forward under the next mayor and council, though the community remains divided. Neighbors near the track have expressed concern over noise and quality of life issues that would come with the increased traffic for racing events.
