New York Based Startup MoveThatBlock.com at a valuation of $10 Million!







Loudonville, NY – October 3, 2011 – MoveThatBlock.com (Private), an Internet start-up company just celebrated its one year anniversary last week after becoming the entitlement sponsor of the MoveThatBlock.com Indy 225 which aired on ABC national television on August 14, 2011 to an estimated 1.5 million U.S. Households.  After racking up an impressive 1.2 million registered users in its first year, today announced that it has sold a minority stake in its company to former owners of the New Hampshire International Speedway.  The track is home to NASCAR’s Lenox 301 and Sylvania 300 races and is New England’s largest sports venue.   According to Wikipedia, Bob and Gary Bahre, who also owned the Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine, sold the track and other racing related assets to Speedway Motorsports for $340 Million in 2008.  Bob and Gary Bahre have become investment partners in MoveThatBlock.com, a new premier online classifieds site. CEO Patrick Gray has stated, “We are very excited to partner with guys like Bob and Gary who have years of experience running multi-million dollar companies. They bring so much to the table and we believe this is a tremendous relationship for all parties involved.”
