David Boyd, of Roby, president of Aspermont Raceway Park, Inc. said the project has gained the support of the community. When you start talking drag racing some people turn up their noses. That hasn't happened here. Aspermont Raceway Park, Inc. was organized for the purpose of building a drag strip in Aspermont. Boyd said the location will have a definite impact on the economy.
Local banks are in support of the project as well as individual investors.
The Small Business Association in Lubbock is lending support and Aspermont and Stonewall County officials have tentatively offered help with water lines and road maintenance. We have a hard time attracting industry and coming up with ideas. We don't have large buildings to offer. There is not much here. But Boyd believes Aspermont will be able to compete for drag race drivers.
