Here is a more official announcement from the new track owner:
"
At this time I am pleased to announce that I, Ozzy Moya owner of DCM Motorsports have acquired the assets of Orlando Speedworld Dragway. Many thanks go to Carl Weisninger for his efforts in finalizing the deal and the Hart family for all their energies in the negotiations. There was little give and take on both sides and it was a lot of work and I cannot express enough in thanks to Carl and the Hart family for helping bring the deal to a close. With the acquisition of the Circle Track and our partnership with NASCAR and now with the drag strip, we look forward to making it one of the premier racing complexes in the country. We plan on bringing the same kind of energy and enthusiasm to the circle track and drag strip in Orlando that we have used at Lakeland, to make it the best it can be. I can assure that racing at both facilities will continue for at least the next 20 years. We will keep people informed on an opening date at the drag strip as soon as the information is available, but it will be very, very soon. As for the LakelandDragstrip...nothing is going to change there at all. We will continue to make it better and strive to have it be the best 1/8 mile track in the country. We are extremely excited about the possibilities for racing in both Orlando and Lakeland. Racing information will be available very soon. We Got It! We Did It! And now LET'S GO RACING! Ozzy"


Still waiting for schedule dates of when the first opening be.

 

I have been following this for the last couple of months. New a
guy who tried to buy Carls end but it was not going to happen.
Carl is hard to negociate with. Ozzy has the 1/8 mile in Lakeland.
I hear it is organized track and he is pouring money into it, which
is good. The Orlando track needs alot of organization and the pit area
needs work along with the concession stands etc. I think Ozzy
can turn it around and make our 1/4 mile track a real stand-out
in the southeast.
A couple weeks ago I read in the newspaper where the circle track
was going to be sanctioned by NASCAR that day I checked with a
couple of my friends and sure enough we will be racing at Bithlo.
I have heard that the track will have a shortened season.

 

I can't wait

 

Great praise to Ozzy Moya for making this happen. You will save a lot of lives from what could have been a street racing frenzy on O town if the facility was closed. I wish you the best & will be there for the 1/4 mile when racing resumes.

 

OSW will re-open this wwed., Feb. 20th for a test n tune...I believe they will be test n tuning on wed. and friday nights like the old days...they mentioned a Quick 32 on Feb. 23rd as well and a grand opening event of some kind in March...

I'll be back in the seat by March 1st so I hope to see you guys out there...
