I believe there was a lease in place but some things happened and it fell through after the races were scheduled. It's unfortunate but unless something drastic happens I'm not sure you will see racing there this year, if not again.

I think it would be hard for USAC to come in and have the races there with the track not being open and no employees to do everything.

April 1, 2024 PRESS RELEASE
In view of the apparently imminent demise of the Gas City I-69 Speedway, The Indiana Historical Society today announced that they have acquired the bleachers of the soon to be defunct Speedway. In a hastily arranged press conference at their Indianapolis headquarters, Society Curator Larson E. Whipsnade explained the rational behind the acquisition. “This was an opportunity for the Society to save a piece of Indiana racing memorabilia that was an unending source impassioned discussion throughout the entire life of the Gas City I-69 Speedway”. Mr. Whipsnade further stated, “One section of the bleachers will be put on display at the Indiana Historical Society in Indianapolis for all to see and to reminisce about the great racing they saw as their spine, hips and knees deteriorated. The remaining sections will be put on display at the Schools of Civil Engineering at Purdue University, Indiana University, and the Rose Hulman Technical Institute as a living example of how NOT to design bleachers”.

if some of the key board jockey's would get together the track wouldn't go anywhere.
