ISC

As a way to educate various publics about the proposed track I think it is important that I first introduce the company that wants to build the track. International Speedway Corporation is a major company that has contributed to the improvement of racing facilities across the country. International Speedway Corporation is a leading promoter of motorsports activities in the United States, currently promoting more than 100 racing events annually as well as numerous other motorsports-related activities. The Company owns and/or operates 11 of the nation's major motorsports entertainment facilities, including Daytona International Speedway in Florida (home of the Daytona 500 the Superbowl of NASCAR races); Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama; Michigan International Speedway located outside Detroit; Richmond International Raceway in Virginia; California Speedway near Los Angeles; Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas; Phoenix International Raceway in Arizona; Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida; Martinsville Speedway in Virginia; Darlington Raceway in South Carolina; Watkins Glen International in New York. Other motorsports entertainment facility ownership includes an indirect 37.5% interest in Raceway Associates, LLC, which owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway near Chicago, Illinois.The Company also owns and operates MRN Radio, the nation's largest independent sports radio network; DAYTONA USA, the "Ultimate Motorsports Attraction" in Daytona Beach, Florida, the official attraction of NASCAR.

I feel like I can relate to your craving for a track up in washington because I feel the same down here about a football team. LA needs a football team and every time I watch the NFL on TV, with games in pretty much every part of the United States except here it annoys me! They'd had talks about bringing a team here just as they have about the track in Washington, but I feel like before either of them happen the fans need to prove themselves and what you're doing is a good way of doing it!
