Hb 975 Fiscal Memorandum Sb
TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FISCAL REVIEW COMMITTEE FISCAL MEMORANDUM SB 679 - HB 975 April 30, 2021 SUMMARY OF ORIGINAL BILL: Reallocates the state sales tax revenue derived from the sale of admissions to all events occurring at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway and all sales of food, drinks, and merchandise sold on the premises in conjunction with those events to the municipality that the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is located in. CORRECTED FISCAL IMPACT OF ORIGINAL BILL: Decrease State Revenue - $65,400/FY21-22 and Subsequent Years Increase Local Revenue - $65,400/FY21-22 and Subsequent Years Other Fiscal Impact - To the extent that the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway’s bid for a NASCAR series race is successful, the state would forgo an estimated $734,600 in revenue each year. Local recurring revenue would increase by the same amount. The timing of any such impact cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty. SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT (008023): Deletes and replaces language in the original bill such that the only substantive changes are to add recreational vehicles parked on the premises of the motor sports facility as part of the sales and use tax allocation and to change the effective date from effective upon becoming law to July 1, 2021. FISCAL IMPACT OF BILL WITH PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Unchanged from the corrected fiscal note. Assumptions for the bill as amended: • Based on information from the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, it is estimated that events at the speedway will generate $1,246,659 in FY21-22 and subsequent years. • Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-6-103(d)(1)(A)(v), the state sales tax rate subject to the proposed apportionment is 5.5 percent.

The Highest Level of Grassroots Racing HERITAGE
2020 The Highest Level of Grassroots Racing HERITAGE On behalf of all of us at the Automobile Racing Club of America, welcome to the 2020 ARCA Menards Series racing season. There is a lot of excitement for the start of our 68th season, which will for the first time see ARCA sanction two regional tours, the ARCA Menards Series East and West, formerly known as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series. Just as we have since 1953, ARCA will continue to give racers a cost-effective and fair place to compete, fans an exciting at-track experience, and our partners a great platform to reach an enthusiastic and loyal customer base. The 2020 season will be one of the most memorable in ARCA’s history, with the blending of the ARCA Menards Series with the East and West to compete in the INNOVATION Sioux Chief Showdown, a ten-race challenge series that will bring together the best drivers and teams from across the country. Added to the ARCA Menards Series championship, along with the East and West series, the Showdown - a series within the overall ARCA Menards Series championship – will give drivers and teams four different championships to chase after. It’s the start of a new era, and we’re excited and grateful to have you on board. Let’s go racing, Ron Drager President, ARCA EXCITEMENT 2 1 HISTORY OF ARCA Founded in in 1953 as a Midwest-based stock car racing series, ARCA has grown to represent the most diverse national touring stock car series anywhere. Entering it’s 68th season, ARCA is the second-longest running championship racing series in the country (second only to NASCAR), and remains dedicated to fans, drivers, and sponsors at the grassroots level of the sport.

2021 Marketing Information
2021 MARKETING INFORMATION WHAT IS THE CARS TOUR? The CARS Tour was formed out of the former USAR Hooters ProCup Series, long considered the premiere short track development series in the 2000s for drivers looking to advance their careers to the upper levels of NASCAR. Because so many CARS Tour competitors have dreams of competing in NASCAR, the cars raced in the CARS Tour closely resemble the racers seen in NASCAR except with less expensive technology and rules to control costs. The CARS Tour hosts two types of popular pavement short track racing divisions, thus making many of the seasons races dual division events. This allows fans to catch the action of both the Super Late Model and Late Model Stock divisions racing at the same track on the same night, for the price of just one ticket. Late model stock cars, a machine from which the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars originated in the 1980s and is still popular in the southeast today, weigh in at over 3100 lbs, teaching drivers car control and momentum as they advance their career. The super late model cars boast nearly 600 horsepower and weigh in at less than 2800 lbs, the true speed demons of short track racing where drivers learn to handle large amounts of horsepower. The CARS Tour has attracted teams from across the motorsports industry, including teams competing annually owned by NASCAR notables Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch. In addition the tour has grown on loyal veteran short track drivers that fans have grown accustom to. The CARS Tour races at nearly a dozen tracks over the course of 2021 with events running 2021 SCHEDULE between March and October; most are located within large southeastern markets.
