Mark Dyer Hall Quotations

Based upon the proposals that we have reviewed internally for the past several months, we believe these three cities provide us with the best opportunity to build and develop a world-class NASCAR Hall of Fame for our millions of loyal fans.

Our brand is really our business and our livelihood. It is our hall of fame, so we certainly wouldn't want some content going in that we felt was detrimental to the sport and what it was all about.

NASCAR is extremely appreciative of the time, effort and commitment put forth by the cities of Kansas City and Richmond. Both of their proposals were outstanding and the passion and enthusiasm the people involved showed for the NASCAR Hall of Fame has made a lasting impression on all of us.

As we move forward in this process, we believe it is necessary to focus our attention on the three cities of Atlanta, Charlotte and Daytona Beach.

It's a very attractive option for us and we'd like to see that we could make that happen. We think it could make quite a statement for us to be able to receive visitors and clients in a building connected to a world-class Hall of Fame. That's not an insignificant part of the deal.

The ballroom is a terrific feature. Induction banquets will be held there, as well as other NASCAR official events. The banquet hall is owned by the city and run by the city, so lots of non-NASCAR events will be held in banquet hall, too. They really need a facility of this size.
