Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Racing Petition Dispute

A petition effort called 'Restore Our Fairgrounds' seeks to amend Nashville's Metro Charter to ban auto racing at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway and replace it with housing and fair activities. The effort has faced alleged harassment and assaults from pro-racing operatives, resulting in temporary orders of protection being issued by a Davidson County judge.

This is a long-running storyline that has developed over 7 days. The homepage highlights its most recent activity, so the outlet count there reflects the latest wave. The totals above cover the full run.
