Area speedway revamps, looks to new season
By OWAIS KHAN | October 12Ever since 2003 the Orange County Speedway, located in Rougemont, has been on a reduced operating schedule. Rumor had it the track was shut down. But Vance Agee, the track's new owner, said the track kept on trucking all along and now is re-expanding its schedule. The track always has been a true platform for Nextel Cup Series drivers, Agee said. Many racers, such as Scott Riggs who drives for NASCAR's Valvoline team, came through the speedway. "We have sent out 650 postcards inviting race teams to renew their track licenses," he said.
