BMS wins $397,000 tax case: A Nashville judge has ruled that Bristol Motor Speedway does not have to pay a $397,000 tax assessment from the state of Tennessee. Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle, in an order unsealed Friday, ruled in a dispute over money the racetrack brings in from the broadcast of NASCAR races. The speedway last year challenged the assessment, claiming the state Department of Revenue was illegally taxing the track. Speedway officials argued that television rights are intangible and that any money derived from the sale of them is not subject to Tennessee sales or business taxes. The suit also claimed the state wrongfully taxed the speedway for money it makes from mailing fees on tickets and from leasing space to vendors. Lyle wrote that the assessments "do not fall into the category of tangible personal property." The judge also ruled that "the relationship ... from the NASCAR agreement is more in the nature of a joint venture than contract of service by the (track) to NASCAR."(Kingsport Times News)(10-19-2009)

Offhand, I'd attest that Nascar broadcast coverage is, um, intangible - glock

Glad to see anybody beat the taxman.

Moments to savor. I don’t think it’ll get any better...

No kiddin’. I heard Carl Edwards weaponized his ride in the previous race ( I was blowin’ up some black powder). I wish I recorded it.

Hey there ST. We had six inches of snow Saturday, and it was 60 today. Gotta love spring. Can’t tell whether to get out the snowblower or mower. Until I decide, I think I’ll stay here in the den and watch a movie with my kid.

... or get out the tiller.
