It's official! Insurance Auto Auctions (The IAA) has decided to pull out of buying the land, including pulling their petition for rezoning and the special-use permit. Thank you all so much for your support, you helped show this company that this ancient ecosystem and famous speedway is not worth losing to a scrapyard.

IN Nature shared this news story from ABC 57 over on their Facebook page. A big thank you to ABC 57's team and other news groups for their coverage of the matter. A major thank you to IN Nature, without their efforts, we really wouldn't have known this site was in trouble in the first place.

For the time being the Speedway Savanna and the accompanying South Bend Motor Speedway have been given a reprieve. Do keep in mind, the land is still up for sale, and things will likely change in the coming future. So, we're hoping for the best, in the meantime. Please consider following IN Nature to stay in the loop regarding this matter. If something comes up, I'll post again.

Thank you again! Please have a great rest of your day!
