From Seattle Weekly:
NASCAR—the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (no, it doesn’t stand for Non-Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks) is also, increasingly, Northwestern. By Christmas, the Daytona, Fla.–based International Speedway Corp. (ISC) hopes to announce its new Seattle-area NASCAR racetrack site, in either Snohomish, Kitsap, or Thurston counties.
Please let this be true! I love 4 wheel racing and dream of the day when I can visit Daytona. I’ve never been to an event, but would never miss a race if it was local. The Northwest is now home of a rising Nascar Superstar. Enumclaw is home to
Kasey Kahne, 24 years of age and is the fastest rising rookie of Nscar.
The Seattle Weekly article goes on with stereotrypcal drivel (surprise, surprise its from Seattle weekly) to frame Nascar fans as rednecks, “pelting drivers with Budweiser cans and consumption of nonimported, nonmicrobrew beer“ and asking its readers What could be more un-Seattle?
I’ll be there with my family (ear plugs in ;-)) will you?
