Owner Chris Payne says he may consider closing Heartland Motorsports Park after Shawnee County rejected an offer he made to try to settle a property tax legal battle. Heartland Park hasn’t necessarily reached the end of the road, Payne said this past week. Still, Payne “must begin to make firm economic decisions to wind down the events at Heartland Park,” Payne’s attorney David Holstead told county counselor Jim Crowl in a letter sent Tuesday. Payne’s company, Shelby Development LLC, will now “proceed to mitigate its damages in the appropriate and practical manner that is necessary for any enterprise under such circumstances,” Holstead said in that letter, which Payne provided to The Topeka Capital-Journal.
