NASCAR in the Northwest

The Seattle Times reports that NASCAR is looking at the Pacific Northwest. Washington State legislators are speaking with the International Speedway Corporation about building an 80,000-seat track, most likely between Portland and Seattle.

I'm not a big fan of the sport, but I know many who are. They make it a family event. Fun for kids of all ages. The recent Daytona 500 was the 8th most-watched sport on Seattle TV this past year.
