The Cowlitz Tribe of Washington voted on Sunday to continue discussions to finance a NASCAR track.
The tribe met with representatives of International Speedway Corporation last week to discuss locating a track in Cowlitz County. Discussions are still in the early stages but the facility would not be located on trust land.
The tribe believes a NASCAR track will bring jobs and revenue to the community. The tribe is also proposing a casino on its trust land.
ISC had looked at a site near the Tulalip Reservation in Washington but financing was an issue. The Grand Ronde Tribes of Oregon expressed interest in a site.
