So Bruton Smith wants to build a drag strip. Fine. Just like every other business he can apply and pay for his development permits, and upon approval can get started.
I doubt seriously that the City of Concord wants to block the project.. but grading before permits, or even siting review seems […]

Straight on the heels of a few high profile customers dropping their accounts based on the banks illegal immigrant credit card strategy, I find it somewhat ironic how their newest logo work just screams, “designed by committee”.
