TROY, MI-A national racing association is looking to move to a more entertainment-orientedlocation. Championship Auto Racing Teams Inc. is investigating a move from its headquarters at the Top of Troy building where it leases the 8th floor sand part of the 13th.

Its lease expires in April 2002. However, CART, which just finished a race on Belle Isle in Detroit last week and plans a race at Michigan Speedway next month, says it wants to open a new headquarters that would be more user friendly to the public. The Top of Troy, while in one of Southeast Michigan’s best office locations, is not suited for visitors.

“One of the things we’re considering is an office that would also allow us to showcase what we do, in a more entertainment-driven way,” Ron Richards, vice president of CART communications, tells GlobeSt.com. “We promote a very exciting sport, with races all over the world. These are very exotic cars, with big wings and no fenders that go more than 200 mph.”
