The owner of the Ocala Gran Prix business, Jorge Arellano, has bought the land beneath the operation, as well as the adjacent I-75 Super Flea Market, for $4.75 million.

The sales price includes the indoor flea market and parking area, which makes up 33.21 acres, as well as the 11.72-acre property west of the flea market area that houses Ocala Gran Prix.

Both properties are adjacent to Interstate 75 and north of U.S. 27.

The properties, at 4121 NW 44th Ave., were previously owned by Donald Denson, Donald N. Denson Children's Irrevocable Trust agreement and Paul R. Fornof of Ocala.

Arellano could not be reached to comment about his plans for the flea market but an assistant said he was still formulating a strategy and was becoming acquainted with the market's workings. He would be more likely to lay out his plans next month, she said.

In addition to owning the Ocala Gran Prix go-cart business, Arellano also owns Private Ocala Aviation, LLC, which offers flight instruction, and Manya Flooring Installation in Jacksonville, according to Florida corporate public records.

Arellano lives in Ocala.
