wait a sec... will this be taxpayer funded? cuz if the NY'ers don't buy tickets, that could bankrupt NASCAR
Actually, you have to build the track first (or at least, show intent that a track will be built), then hope and pray that NASCAR will actually use the facilities. If you can commit NASCAR to run a race there, you've got a huge money maker.
If things don't work out, NASCAR will simply skip the track, but they won't be out any money.
