It’s been over a year since the New Stateline Speedway was put up for sale. However, the price for the Busti, New York, dirt track has been recently reduced, from $799,000 to $525,000.
(For more on the initial listing, read “Stateline Speedway in New York Put Up for Sale.”)
Its real estate agent, Holly Hackett, said they reduced the price due to selling a home in the original listing. That now leaves a plot of 77 acres left.
“The New Stateline Speedway is a steal for the $525,000 asking price,” Hackett said. “There has been interest previously, but the new asking price is sure to generate prospective buyers.”
Hackett added that the track has had a successful 2024 season. On Tuesday, August 20, it will run an unsanctioned $10,000-to-win super late model event.
The New Stateline Speedway has been in operation since 1956. Jim and Jean Scott own the track, along the heirs of the late Dave Turner, who passed away in 2020, Ronda and Chip Turner. The Turners own an excavating business, with its peak season in the summer, just like the racetrack.
“Jim and Jean are getting older,” Ronda Turner said. “Our excavating business is more than full time in the summer. We all feel it’s time to hand off the keys to The New Stateline Speedway to someone else.
“It is absolutely a bittersweet sale. My dad raced at Stateline, and we love the place. We are there working and managing the speedway every week. We don’t have plans to stay on to work for someone else, but we will always be available to help with advice, and answer questions.”
