I agree. I simply don’t see NASCAR doing well up here in Seattle area. 6+ months out of the year the facility would be unusable for auto racing due to the weather issues.
If anything was built, I would prefer to see a non-oval type race track facility instead. One that could be used by F1, american le mans, moto gp motorcycle type races, vintage events, indy car, nascar (they could still race on it and it would be a hundred times more exciting), truck series, etc.....
That would rock and greatly increase its usefulness and ability to generate revenue.
What is ridiculous is the taxpayers just payed to have Key Arena remodelled 10 years ago!
And Nascar wants to race in Western Washington the land of rain when you least want it or expect it.
I say, Bye-buh to the Sonics and if Nascar wants to come out to the Northwest the should stick it in the desert near Moses Lake ~ Between Seattle and Spokane.
Basket who?
NB what?
Build it , they will come
and blow up their engines.
