Bruton Smith and the racetrack organization he built, Speedway Motorsports, Inc., always seems to find ways to do things bigger, better and huge. Having the largest HD screen in the world at Charlotte Motor Speedway is a big plus, but they don’t stop there.
Owning premiere racetracks and drag strips is obviously a complicated operation, but SMI even finds ways to enhance Legend Car racing by offering big prizes to racers that normally race for far less money.
