OLYMPIA -- Twice rebuffed by Washington counties, NASCAR
promoters say they're not giving up on the Northwest, but
the number of places suitable for a major stock car racing
track -- and willing to build one -- is dwindling.
The latest to say no was Kitsap County after originally courting
the International Speedway Corp., operators of 12 tracks
nationwide that host Nextel Cup series events. County leaders
backed off when local opposition emerged and the state was
unwilling to pay for half the cost of a track.

An Eastern Oregon port district would welcome a NASCAR track
on its 1,400 acres of sagebrush near the Columbia River town
of Boardman.
"This is a place that wants them," Port of Morrow manager Gary Neal
said. "It's a great fit."
Backers first proposed Boardman, about 160 miles east of
Portland, for a speedway about seven years ago, and several
investor groups have offered plans to make it happen over
the years. Groundbreaking has been tentatively set several
times, the last in fall 2006, but has never taken place.
