Re: Maple Grove sold.?
According to an SMP announcement, Bill is taking his motorsports marketing company "Energize" to the grove to invent and implement new programs. There was no mention of Bader purchasing though.

Re: Maple Grove sold.?
Anything to help fill the stands would be a positive thing. It's sad to go to the LODRS race or the dutch and see pretty much empty stands. I remember going to WWCS races back in the day and the stands would be full.

His son, Bill Jr. Definitely a "chip off of the old block."
