WARRENSBURG, Mo. — Central Missouri Speedway is for sale and the price is $1 million.
Earl and Susan Walls have owned and operated Central Missouri Speedway for 31 years.
However, last Saturday, just before the driver’s meeting, Earl Walls announced this would be he and his wife’s final year at the helm of the track and that the facility is for sale.
“My wife and I recently bought a travel camper, and we are going to put it to use,” Earl Walls said. “My sons and grandkids all have lives of their own and are very busy with their own careers, so it is time to sell the facility and all that goes with it. We will sell it as a race track or for development, but after the final event of the year, we will no longer run CMS as we know it today.”
