If they signed another contract with Loretta's for 10 more years, then they aren't moving soon. There is a mystique about it being Loretta Lynn's that a new track would have to build up over the years that isn't replaceable immediately with a move. And, any racer knows about Loretta Lynn's, even the people that don't race but know someone that is a serious racer know about Loretta Lynn's. Of course, if it had started at IronMan 38 years ago with only that race there every year, there would be a mystique about IronMan now. As long as the Coombs and Loretta Lynn have a good working relationship (ie they both make plenty of money off the event), I think it will keep going at the Ranch. BUT The real question becomes what happens when the Coal Miner's Daughter actually passes away, they may finish out the existing contract at that point and then have to find a new home because who knows what will happen to the ranch and the land then. At that point, rumors will run rampant, and the Coombs family will have to make a plan to move to move the race somewhere else. Let's not forget that Davey and Timmy Coombs, and Rita Coombs aren't getting any younger either at this point along with Loretta Lynn, 10 more years and I'd bet that 2 of the main 4 people have passed in that partnership and lots will change quickly at that point.
