NASCAR looks to add track in NYC in ‘09-10 2004 December 17
ISC (or NASCAR for those who don’t believe they are different companies) has just bought 450 acres in New York City (on Staten Island). Here is an AP article from the Arizona Republic. According to the article, ISC “has its sights on completing a new facility there as early as 2009.”
I don’t think NASCAR/ISC would have bought the land if they didn’t think it would get done. and they also seem to have some good political connections. Thus, I’m starting to think this long talked about NYC track will actually get built. The good thing is, besides it being close to my house, that it won’t be another “cookie cutter” 1.5 mile track.
