      It's probably more to do with health inspection and proper licenses. I'm not sure if he directly serves food at the FF or if he contracts food trucks and catering companies. If he's not serving food yet and doesn't have the proper licenses it can be a lengthy and costly process. From a business owner stand point using food trucks and catering companies saves him time and money. He probably takes a 25% cut of what the trucks make. Doesn't need to worry about hiring new employees, food prep, permits, bulk food purchases or renovations that may be needed. His focus is the racing side of things. Plus food trucks offer a wide variety of foods. 2 diffrent food trucks would offer way more menu options and gives him the option to hire different trucks and switch up the menu with ease. Personally I would set it up for the wife and kiddos. All income generated goes towards the wife's desires and towards the kiddos future. First car, school, travel, shit over the next 16-18 years he could probably put a down payment on their first houses. I definitely wouldn't leave it completely dead tho. Even if it was just a concession stand

Stafford Motor Speedway is a major part of what goes on here. The business it brings to our community is huge. Many a local business owes its continued existence to the automotive enthusiasts, of all flavors, who patronize the speedway. I hope you found the fans, and everyone else you met, to be good people. I hope to see you back here next year.

      It'll get lost in the news cycle and largely forgotten about in a couple weeks by most people, and I don't believe anything will change on his end.
      His fans will still be his fans, his haters will still be hating...
      However, I believe he's got the personality to win over most of the people who just found him because of this... he's going to recover faster than trump's ear.

    Cleet, I just got home from the New England 900 in Stafford. I was born and raised in Stafford so I was super pumped when you announced you were doing a race there and bought my tickets at the beginning of the year. I raced to the track from work to get there right at 730 for the introductions and start. This was, without a doubt, the best and most entertaining event I have ever been to in my entire life. And seeing it happen in my hometown that I've spent 23 years of my life in, was amazing. I wish you won and I still think that yellow at the end shouldn't have sent you back to the pack, but boy I had an amazing time watching you and all the guys race. Wish you won so you could've also given that John Deere away lol. Thank you for putting on such an amazing event in my hometown and appreciating our speedway. Looking foward to the burnout competition tomorrow! Hell yeah brother!

    about the earo mod to keep the engines cooler : one thing that might help is putting spacers between the hood hinges and the hood raising up the back of the hood and hopefully pulling air out of the engine compartment and pulling it over the windshield , it might NOT work as the base of the windshield is usually a high pressure zone , could test it with some yarn strings stuck to the car and film it during a lap
