NASCAR tries again with site near Bremerton! Shit, there goes the AX course!!!!

"International Speedway Corp., rebuffed last year in an effort to build a NASCAR track near Marysville, has decided the proposed project is worth another go-round in Kitsap County.

In an effort to bring the fast-growing sport of stock-car racing to an untapped area of the country, ISC officials said yesterday they hope to construct an 80,000-seat racetrack near the Kitsap-Mason County line south of Bremerton National Airport.

"If everything works out just as it can," ISC spokesman Stann Tate said, "we plan on being on track and dropping the green flag in the summer of 2010."

Tate said the selection of the site "is just a first step right now," something echoed by officials in Kitsap County.

"It's just an announcement of interest," Bremerton Mayor Cary Bozeman said. "I don't think by any stretch of the imagination this is a done deal."

Lisa Holmer, spokeswoman for the Kitsap County Commission, said, "It's got to go through the same permitting process as any other project. At any time it may come against a roadblock they may not be able to cross.

"It's a pretty big project for the area."

ISC isn't specific about the funding plan, but Tate said ISC, a publicly traded company that develops tracks, would contribute more than the $50 million that was earmarked for the Marysville site, leaving roughly $250 million to be government-financed."
