[http://www.nyirp.com/](http://www.nyirp.com/) Off [rochesterracing.com](http://rochesterracing.com) [quote=“raceannouncer”"] Bob & Donna Metcalfe, who leased NYIRP this past year but held paper to the facility, have announced that they have taken back ownership of the business and plan to operate it in the upcoming '09 season. There is a very short notice regarding this posted on [http://www.nyirp.com](http://www.nyirp.com). Plus I received a personal phone call from Bob himself informing me of his decision. Details and specifics of the upcoming season will be posted on the website as they become available. Mike Paz, Motorsports Announcer [/quote] ---

I had heard some things about this a few months ago from some insiders… From what I heard a lot of people didn’t like Vito (or the new guy, and I thought it was him); and Bob doesn’t want to let go…
