The Cowlitz get busted in the chops AGAIN: NASCAR track goes to Bremerton.

Gloating aside, this thing shouldn't cost the taxpayers of this state one dime. But, and you heard it here first, a grateful and democrat controlled Legislature will give this project millions.

That said, it's clear the Cowlitz Tribe never were serious contenders for this track. And I hope that the people of the peninsula like it.

PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- International Speedway Corp., thwarted last year in a plan to build a NASCAR racetrack about 30 miles north of Seattle, announced Thursday that it has chosen a new site across Puget Sound.

Officials of the auto racing development and promotion company based in Daytona Beach, Fla., told a news conference they want to build an 80,000-seat track on 950 acres near Washington 3 south of Bremerton National Airport along the Kitsap-Mason county line.

ISC released some details of the plan to the Kitsap Sun newspaper Wednesday but not the financing plan or naming rights.

If the Legislature grants approval and county permits are issued, construction could begin in 2007 or 2008 on a track of 7-8 of a mile to 1.2 miles surrounded by parking and camping areas with a tiered grandstand offering views of Mount Rainier in clear weather, the Sun reported.
