The entire staff of Colorado national Speedway would like to pass on it's condolences to the family of Jim Opperman.

A successful businessman and former owner of Quality Metal Products, 1974 ERA Super Modified Champion and Late Model driver, Jim Opperman was instrumental in the conversion of Colorado National Speedway from one of the nations finest ½ mile dirt tracks to the present 3/8 mile asphalt facility. Opperman bought Colorado National Speedway in 1989 and transformed the speedway into what as been acknowledged as one of the premier asphalt tracks in the country.
