Commission approves Speedway master-plan amendment to allow limited collector-car auction
Loading...
Summary
The Wilson County Commission unanimously approved a planning amendment allowing the Nashville Superspeedway to host a limited, ticketed collector-car auction in the infield; the request covers the Speedway master plan for a 518.06-acre property and includes use limitations and event-duration constraints.
The Wilson County Commission voted unanimously to approve an amendment to the Nashville Superspeedway master plan that allows a limited collector-car auction to operate in the track’s infield.
Mac Ricci (transcript first self-identified earlier as Matt Grecci), the Speedway representative, told commissioners the request is not to permit year-round retail sales but to permit a limited auto-sales use so the promoter can obtain a Tennessee motor vehicle license required to host a collector-car auction. "We're not looking to host a year-round auction... we're looking to host a collector car event auction, once a year, a multi-day auction," he said, explaining the promoter would stage a four-day auction with setup and cleanup days.
Staff's public notice said the property contains 518.06 acres at 400 Victory Lane (Wilson County Tax Map 141, Parcel 26) and that the planning commission forwarded the proposal with a positive, unanimous recommendation. Commissioners and the applicant clarified that the planned auction activities would be contained to the infield and would be ticketed and secured. The applicant said vehicles would be collector/high-end models rather than typical commuter cars.
Commissioners asked about traffic and neighborhood impacts; a commissioner noted the Speedway had cooperated on traffic management for race days and that resident passes had been used in prior events. County staff and the applicant said any expansion beyond the approved limits would require further planning-commission and county-commission review. A motion to approve the master plan amendment was called and approved by voice vote; the record was noted as unanimous.
The hearing notice on the record scheduled a public hearing for April 20, 2026, where the detailed master-plan amendment and related documents may be reviewed at the planning office.
