NCM Motorsports Park was issued a notice of violation on June 29, 2015 directing that all construction and event activites cease within 24 hours by the Warren County City-County Planning Commission, claiming that the track was out of compliance with the Warren County Joint Zoning Ordinance. NCM Motorsports Park has not ceased activities, with construction continuing and races still being held. The track, however, did hire on a sound mitigation company that is currently analyzing noise levels in nearby neighborhoods.
NCM Motorsports Park’s stance is firm: after a meeting on June 30th, 2015, an agreement had been reached at a meeting that included the Planning Commission, neighborhood representatives, a local magistrate, the sound mitigation company and NCM Motorsports representatives. Per NCM Motorsports’ statement, “Everyone attending the meeting including the Planning Commission representative, the neighborhood committee and the local magistrate all were in agreement that ceasing event activity at this time is not necessary or warranted,”
In a letter to Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway, the group said, “Our neighborhood is suffering, and we need someone to help protect our rights. We hope that you will help us to restore peace. We are requesting that action be taken by your office,” as reported by the Bowling Green Daily News. The group claims that NCM Motorsports Park is violating noise emissions laws, and said in the letter, “We have appealed to every government department in Warren County to seek enforcement, but we have been ignored. We feel that local politics has contributed to depriving us of our rights.” Unlike most situations we’ve seen in the past, the neighborhood pre-dates the track, not the other way around.
