From a press release announcing the decision...

Southern National
Raceway owner Kirk Leone announced today
that Southern National will go up for auction in November, the exact
auction date  to be announced in the upcoming weeks.  "This is a great
opportunity for a potential owner to get a top notch facility at a very
good market price," Leone said. "I feel this is a great time to offer the track up for
auction, it will give the new owner time to get things ready  to open
up for the 2010 race season."

Southern National Raceway
Park has long enjoyed great fans, sponsors, competitors and most of all
racing.  Over the past few years there has been much change at the
facility all with  the intent of making the track, facilities and
racing better.  From new and remodeled facilities, updated operating
systems to a new track surface and throughout that time one thing has
always remained constant, the passion for good hard racing.  Southern
National  is ready to host the upcoming PASS series in September, a Car
Show in October and The Thanksgiving Classic in November with the PASS
Series returning.

Southern National is a great race facility and
has been home to past NASCAR Drivers such as Denny Hamlin, and Scott
Riggs as well as MRN Announcer Alex Hayden..Local Racers and their fans
have voiced their support for the continued operation of the track
along with many local, regional and national touring series.

Since the
announcement that the track would not reopen in 2009, under past or
current ownership, many, many racers, fans and supporters have
expressed a desire to see Southern National Raceway Park reopen.
