The Confederated Grand Ronde Tribes of Oregon are interested in getting in the NASCAR business.
Tribal officials are talking with International Speedway Corporation to fund a raceway that could host NASCAR events. "I don't know where it's going to go. We're looking at potential sites, gauging the elders' response," a tribal spokesperson told The Olympian.
ISC is said to be looking for a site to host a racetrack in the Northwest. Officials in Washington and Oregon are interested in bringing NASCAR to their areas.
