Smith says he's flown out to Vegas several times to talk about moving a Sprint Cup race to his track there.
"They've made me offers to move one," Smith said.

In addition to owning the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the North Carolina native owns eight NASCAR tracks, including the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which host eleven NASCAR Sprint Cup events.

Here is a video of him discussing it. => Bruton Smith Charlotte Bank of America 500 move race Vegas - WBTV 3 News, Weather, Sports, and Traffic for Charlotte, NC

NASCAR needs to stop letting these fools treat their dates like trading cards...NASCAR should pull his 2nd race and move it back to The Rock - embrace your roots - NASCAR has lost something gradually over the last several years

Is it only 30%?
Why not just give him 25 - 50 million dollars to stay another 3 years?
