Yellowstone Drag Strip Sells for Under $400,000

by Lindsey Fisher on December 11, 2011

Motorsports may see its revival near Billings, Montana after the Yellowstone Drag Strip sold to a new owner on Thursday. The state-of-the-art facility was sold to one lucky bidder as a turn-key operation. It wasn’t sold for millions, however, but for around the same cost of an average sized house.

Welcome to Yellowstone Drag Strip - Montana's Premiere Drag Racing Facility

January 26th, 2012
During the first week of January, 2012, Bret McKenney and CW McCarthy completed the purchase of the Yellowstone Dragstrip from Molly Omo. Both are successful local business men with a passion for drag racing. Bret is the owner of North Star Amusements and has been drag racing for three decades. CW is the owner of Powder Kote Unlimited and has been racing his 1976 Dodge Dart for the past twelve years. Both partners plan to be an active part of the YDS management team. They will be working with the racers and sponsors to insure a positive experience during the 2012 racing season and build relationships for the future. Robert Carlson and Dennis McCarthy will be Co-managers for the 2012 season. They will be sharing responsibilities and both come with invaluable experience to the new YDS team. Julie McCarthy-Mavencamp will be continuing her role with YDS as our Marketing and Sales Director. Julie comes with an incredible amount of knowledge of YDS marketing and is looking forward to the opportunity to meet with new sponsors. For sponsorship packages and information, you can contact her here Julie.
We have a tentative schedule with ten race weekends planned for 2012 and are currently working on promotions and feature car races for the upcoming season. This will be finalized by the end of January and will be posted as soon as possible.
Also, A decision was made this week to have Yellowstone Drag Strip become an IHRA Sanctioned Dragstrip for the year 2012.
Get those cars ready, it's going to be an exciting year with YDS!
