Winston -Salem staff say

Winston-Salem employees celebrate the success of NASCAR’s NASCAR race last weekend at Bowman Gray Stadium. At a meeting on Monday, the city manager Pat Pate said the event had disappeared without a hanger and attracted the so much attention to the area.

“Winston-Salem was mentioned on national television so many times,” he said. “We can’t count how much it would cost if we were trying to put these ads there ourselves. “

The concessions of the event also brought revenue, although the end numbers are still gathering. City manager’s assistant Ben Rowe says NASCAR has refused to fund an official analysis of the economic impact, but that doesn’t mean it’s out of the table.

“I can look at it on the side of the city, but I don’t have to look for six digits to explore economic impact,” he said. – But if we have local resources or universities that could do something, we can look at it. “

Officials say that the city will probably also see increased funds from hotel employment taxes.
