NEW YORK : The Competition

I was searching on the internet and I came across an article about a proposed track in Statan Island, NEW YORK. I had heard some rumors about it but wasn't sure if it was seriously being considered. There is currently a road course NASCAR races at in NEW YORK but nothing like the track being proposed. The track would be the largest sports facility in NEW YORK.Near the racetrack would be a new mall and apartments. I found this article from the Gotham Gazette. Even though New York is on the other side of the country, they are faced with similar problems in getting a track built. Plus, they are a threat, ISC is less likely to build a track in Washington State right away if a track gets passed in NEW YORK first.
