Maybe you have heard or seen this? Lots of chat about Darryl Cuttell and IHRA has purchased PBIR and Memphis. This is amazing news for racers.
I made a simple AI search and wasn’t able to find the receipts so there is a chance it’s BS? But they have been on a buying spree.

Yes — Darryl Cuttell has continued his expansion of racetrack ownership in 2025, adding multiple venues to his growing portfolio through the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

Broader Acquisition Announcement (March 7, 2025)

Earlier in the year, the IHRA—under the leadership of Cuttell—announced plans to acquire seven premier drag racing tracks. These were initially presented as either agreed-in-principle or confirmed purchases:

Tracks named in the March 7 release:
• National Trail Raceway (OH)
• Maryland International Raceway (MD)
• Milan Dragway (MI)
• Dragway 42 (OH)
• Darlington Dragway (SC)
• GALOT Motorsports Park (NC)
• Kil-Kare Raceway (OH)  

However, it’s important to note:
• Some tracks in that list (e.g., Maryland International Raceway, Darlington Dragway) later clarified they had not been sold to IHRA.  
• Milan Dragway was indeed acquired earlier in April 2025 and has been undergoing significant upgrades.

Old news/rumors. Nothing has been confirmed. Besides the purchase price both would take a huge amount of money to make them race ready as all either one currently has is a worn out strip of concrete and asphalt and land around it.
IMO He would really have to hate his money to buy either one in todays market

From my understanding the money is endless…

Yes he has way more $$ than brains, yesterday at Columbus he had his helicopter trying to dry the shut down for about 2hrs before it started raining again. And was showing off his hydro boat there also google Darana Hybrid boat. Money is NO issue.

Time will tell but on the same note Evan Knoll comes to mind when everyone road his coat tails until the well ran dry....

I know nothing about this man, absolutely zero, but in my experience people who are reckless with money never get rich in the first place. Squeezing the most out of every dollar is a mindset.

If this guy doesn't sponsor every car in the country he might be okay. Seems like Evan only ever had money going out. At the very least this guy has entry money coming back in.

This guy better figure out how to put butts in the seats, I watched both fuel car sessions and stands were pretty empty, especially for a Friday night session. Other that a few good TF runs most cars, especially funny cars struggled to get down the track

Moroso Investment Partners listed as owners since 2008.

great they have some tracks now show the southern racers some southeast races ......
