ROCKY ROADS AHEAD FOR CART, NASCAR? CO SPEEDWAY DISCUSSED

          Rockies co-Owners Jerry McMorris and Charlie Monfort
     said Friday they plan to join fellow Rockies co-Owner Dick
     Monfort and Coors CEO Pete Coors in talks with Penske
     Motorsports Inc. (PMI) about PMI's bid to build a Denver-
     area superspeedway, according to Mike Chambers of the DENVER
     POST.  Charlie Monfort, who acknowledged that his group has
     been talking with PMI for a while: "They don't really need
     partners.  What they're looking for is a Colorado background
     and an understanding of the area ... There are still some
     political hurdles we have to overcome."  Monfort said that a
     CO ownership investment would "probably" be between $15-20M
     and that the track is "expected" to cost at least $110M. 
     McMorris noted that a published report about the partnership
     last week was premature: "There is a possibility that we
     will be a part of this" (DENVER POST, 4/17).
