NASCAR team owner Ray Evernham announced Thursday night in Lincolnton North Carolina that he is in advanced negotiations to purchase the East Lincoln Speedway and will retire from NASCAR.
Evernham said he has already sold off his interest in the Gillett-Evernham Motorsports race team and is ending his career with NASCAR. “I want to get back into grassroots racing,” he told the gathering of area community leaders and businesspeople.
Evernham is a former modified driver who gained NASCAR fame as crew chief leading the tea during three of four-time champion Jeff Gordon’s titles. He partnered with George Gillette in 2007 and sold his remaining stake in the company this past September.
