Ep. 352 | Mike Burch (Speedway Motorsports)

Mike Burch is the COO of Speedway Motorsports, which means he’s heavily involved in everything that goes on and can share great insights. We’re going to start by doing a preview of this weekend’s All-Star Race and moving it to Dover; having Dover in the Speedway Motorsports portfolio and concerns that it’s going to fade off the schedule with constant changes; the operational view of hosting a crown jewel event and on a holiday weekend with the Coke 600; the reception to going back to the oval in the fall; changing a race after the schedule has already been announced; the feedback that is taken in from the race fans; collaborating with the drivers; the validation of reprofiling Atlanta Motor Speedway; a look at the collaboration with NASCAR to create a schedule when both sides want their own things; the anticipation for a North Wilkesboro points race; the measure of success as the season goes on.  Original music created by Tony Monge. Follow me here: https://linktr.ee/kellycrandall
