The North Carolina Supreme Court has declined to review an appeals court decision that sided with Lowe's Motor Speedway in a lawsuit over the 2000 collapse of a pedestrian bridge. The appeals panel had ruled the lawsuits, filed by four NASCAR fans in 2004, came too long after the bridge was constructed in 1995. State law protects manufacturers from negligence lawsuits after six years, under the premise that a product, such as a walking bridge, will eventually deteriorate and fail over time.
