1 4B Thursday, AuKut 26 1999 THE TCNNESSEAN LOCAL NEWS Racetrack to be christened Nashville Superspeedway By LARRY WOODY Sftorts Writer Nashville Superspeedway will be the name of the new $125 million racetrack being built in Wilson County, developer Denis McGlynn said yesterday. "We wanted a name that would convey to fans all around the country where the track is located," said McGlynn, president of Dover Downs Entertainment, who will be on hand for today's formal groundbreaking. "Nashville Superspeedway makes sense to the extent that it helps out-of-state people determine where we are. They'll know we are in the Nashville metropolitan area." The track is scheduled to begin operation in the spring of 2001. The site on which the superspeedway will be constructed lies between Lebanon and Murfrees-boro, approximately 25 miles east of Nashville.

Naming a track after the nearest large city is not unusual. Atlanta Motor Speedway is about 25 miles racing, and its weekly program has developed several of the sport's top drivers. McGlynn said he hoped to continue to build on that heritage and legacy. Nashville Superspeedway will be constructed on a site. The 1 13-mile superspeedway will be one of several tracks built on the huge motorsports complex.

McGlynn plans to eventually add a short track similar to the one at Nashville Speedway, a drag racing strip, a dirt track and a road course. He plans to offer fans a wide variety of big-league racing, including NASCAR and Indy Car events. A NASCAR Busch race is a certainty, and McGlynn said the Indy Racing League has expressed interest in a date. Landing a Winston Cup race could be a long shot since 50,000 seats would not be nearly enough to accommodate a Winston Cup crowd. McGlynn said if a Cup date becomes a possibility, the track's seating can quickly be doubled.

south of Atlanta and Charlotte Motor Speedway (now Lowe's) is some 20 miles north of Charlotte. In addition to helping identify the general location of the track, McGlynn said he wanted the new superspeedway to retain a Nashville identity. Nashville Speedway, located at the State Fairgrounds, is one of the sport's most historic tracks. In its 41-year history, the track has hosted the biggest names in NASCAR "We wanted a name that would convey to fans all around the country where the track is located." denis McGlynn Dover Downs Entertainment RY OUR CAMEROON Supply of substitute teachers shrinking as need is increasing Purchased directly from village growers Original stock: Jamaican Blue Mtn 1913 Organically grown Magnificent example of the "wine" character attributed to African coffees By WARREN DUZAK Staff Writer LEBANON Beverly Faye Lanning has been a substitute teacher in Wilson County for about five years now. Despite low pay and the uncertainly associated with filling in for a regular teacher, Lanning still does it three days a week.

"I think it is a chance to do something positive for the school system," Lanning said. Cathy Lawrence has been organizing substitute teachers for several years. Lawrence wishes she had 300 to Lawrence said. "Our pool has diminished during the summer, when people find other jobs or go through lifestyle changes that prohibit them from doing it." Pay is not the best For a substitute with a high school diploma or GED diploma, it's $39 a day. It jumps to $45 for two years of college and tops out at $49 for those who are certified teachers.

Lawrence said people who work as substitutes have said they like it for the flexible schedule. Those who are interested is becoming a substitute teacher can call 444-3282, ext. 7328 or 7330.

"We have added another school, and we are growing on the employees' side, so it increases the need for substitutes," Lawrence said, adding "300 to 400 on the list would probably be adequate." The county had scheduled a substitute orientation for Sept.

14 in hopes of attracting enough fill-ins. While teacher absences are not a big problem now, later in the year the system could require 75-80 each day.
