was a lawyer in Portland and quit that job to work with a sports marketing
firm with a racing focus in Boston. We helped teams and drivers in NASCAR and Indy Car racing with various marketing and sponsor related opportunities. I met the folks that owned Oxford Plains Speedway and wound up buying into the track in 1998 and taking full ownership in 2000.
