Sports Creek owner hopes for return to horse racing, plans for other options

The owner of Sports Creek Raceway is aiming to bring back horse racing in the summer, but he is also ready to move on and repurpose the site for future renovation. “We stand ready to go forward,” said Nelson Clemmens, CEO of Kentucky-based AmWest Entertainment LLC, a company affiliated with AmRace & Sports LLC, and owner of Sports Creek Raceway. “We’re hopeful, but we have to be cautiously optimistic because of what we haven’t been able to keep moving forward on a consistent basis.”
