i can not find a link but in the mobile register(mobile, alabama), it was confirmed today that dale earnhardt jr and some other guy are backing the construction of a new motorsports facility here in south alabama. it will be somewhere in mobile or baldwin county. in the paper it mentioned a track for nextel/busch, dirt track, and i believe a motocross track. im not 100% certain about the motocross track, but i remember on a show one time dale jr. said he would always love to build a facility with all sorts of racing availible(including motocross). it should be completed sometime during 2009 the paper mentioned, possibly 2010. how cool is that?:D

just thought i'd pass this along to all you NASCAR fans.

just seen his press conference. he said he will be designing the track and that it will be based off of Richmond's layout. there will be a drag strip, sprint car track, dirt track, bass fishing lakes/pond. it said the facility will be built on over 2,000 acres. the name will be Alabama Motorsports Park.
