I used to run a 360 car myself and it got to the point where I couldn't afford it. There are a lot of guys out there sitting on cars because they just can't do it anymore.

The economy plays into that and the cost of racing plays into that, and we are doing everything we can to control spiraling costs.

It was a very, very good day in Springfield for the horse racing industry.
