Why is the IHRA buying SO MANY Racetracks? (Talkin' Shift EP 019 - Scott Woodruff)

This week on Talkin’ Shift, we’re joined by Scott Woodruff from the IHRA to break down everything they’ve had going on lately — and it’s a lot. We talk about IHRA’s recent push into track ownership (including deals for multiple well-known facilities) and what that means for racers, fans, and the future of the sport. We also get into how IHRA has been expanding what they’re involved with, including the growth of their pro-level programming like the Outlaw Nitro Series, and how they’re trying to build a bigger pipeline that supports everything from big-show racing down to grassroots bracket programs.
