Texana Raceway Park 2012 Announcement


Recommended Posts

The following message is from Texana Raceway Park owner, Bruce Tesch:

 

It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Texana Raceway Park will not be opening for the 2012 season. The track is for lease or sale and the 2012 schedule will remain posted on TRP website in hopes that someone will be interested in picking up and running the operations under a lease or sale.

 

This decision was not made lightly. Our other business interests have become too demanding at present, and this includes the time involved for many of the staff who work with us Monday thru Friday and also work for us at the track. After much consideration, we do not feel it is in the best interest of anyone (racers, fans or us) to start the season without being able to properly dedicate the time necessary to provide quality shows. We simply are too busy with our other business interests to dedicate the time to track prep and all of the other behind the scenes work necessary to put on races.

 

TRP had a great 2011 season. There are not issues family-wise and TRP has been a profitable business, including a great 2011 season. But, it does take time and one must be able to dedicate the necessary time to put on shows.

 

We have made tremendous friendships since 2005 by operating TRP, and those friendships will last a lifetime. We were able to bring a huge three day USMTS show to the track, several ASCS Gulf South Region Sprint Car shows, the Aaron Hudgeons Memorial Races, and the South Texas Street Stock Shootout Series, along with other exciting shows over the past seven seasons.

 

We have also had a dedicated and top-notch staff, of which most have been with us since we took the track over in 2005. We can never say thank you enough to the dedicated staff, dedicated racers and fans we've come to know at TRP.

 

While we are not going to operate the track ourself in 2012, it is for lease or sale. Everything anyone would need is there. All equipment, including grader, water truck, tow trucks, transponder system, PA system, state of the art concessions, etc., are in place and ready to go. The only thing someone would need to do is stock the concessions and prep the track. If anyone is seriously interested in leasing or purchasing Texana Raceway Park, call me (Bruce Tesch) at 979-758-4440 to set up an in person meeting. We will not discuss sale or lease specifics on the web.

 

Again, this decision does not come lightly. It is simply a business decision due to the fact that our other business interests are at a point where we cannot dedicate the time neccessary to operate the track this season. And, thank you again to everyone (racers, fans and staff) for making TRP shine for the last seven years.
