Abstract:

Cars and racing have pushed Ollen Bruton Smith onto the list of FORBES' list of the 400 richest Americans. With the success of Charlotte Motor Speedway--the regional nucleus of the racing industry in Concord--and Sonic Automotive, Smith is battling back from the recession; however, he is also threatening to take his billion dollar economic input from North Carolina to Las Vegas.
