NEW OWNERS AT DELAWARE SPEEDWAY
Nov 28, 2011 Effective December 1, 2011, Delaware Speedway will be operated by a new ownership group. The members of this group are the de Melo and family and the Spivak family. The de Melo family has been involved in Delaware racing for quite some time. Having them join in this new ownership group is a great asset to fans and drivers at Delaware. Their valued input in decisions will help tie the new ownership in with many aspects of the racing community. |
The Spivak family has owned the land that Delaware Speedway is on for many years and has seen the track through many changes in that time. Although for the past years they have only been involved as the land owners, they now join as part of the new ownership group and will be actively involved in working with the de Melo family. Arlen Scherba has announced he will not be returning to Delaware Speedway. The ownership group would like to thank the Scherba family for their countless contributions over the past ten years. Arlen and his team have made many positive changes to Delaware Speedway and have put many hours of hard work and persistence into making Delaware Speedway the track it is today. "I've had a lot of fun with this track, and can't thank everyone enough for all your support and I wish the new ownership group success" Arlen states. The de Melo and Spivak Families wish the Scherba family the best in their future endeavours and many years of health and happiness. The race track will be in full operation for the 2012 season. The speedway has already secured some major race dates including the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series and ISMA Super Modifieds. The track is currently working on the official release of the full-season schedule. “We would like to thank all the drivers, partners, and fans for their patience as we sort through the opportunities and challenges ahead of us as the new ownership group,” the de Melo and Spivak families said in a statement. “We are very eager to move forward and can’t wait to work with everyone to continue to improve Delaware Speedway, the iconic track it is.” The new team is aware there is a great deal of interest from the racing community and many questions about the ownership. There will be a general meeting scheduled in December to discuss these changes and the opportunities that are ahead. Drivers are encouraged to keep an eye to the speedway website for more information.
