Billionaire Bruton Smith stirred considerable controversy in late 2007 when he announced plans to build the nation's only four-lane, all-concrete dragstrip adjacent to Lowes Motor Speedway. When the local city council ruled against it, Smith threatened to close the NASCAR track and relocate it elsewhere within a year. The local government relented and the 46.5-acre zMAX Dragway facility with seating for 30,000-plus ran its first event the following year. View Related Article
