Marysville progresses ISC bid

The Marysville City Council in the north-western USA state of Washington is to send three members, with two delegates of its new race track advisory committee, to upcoming NASCAR events on a fact-finding mission. The group is tasked with assessing how the races affect traffic and residential neighbourhoods and its tickets will be provided by International Speedway Corporation, which has identified a site for a major new oval in the north Marysville area

The city's chief administrative officer, Mary Swenson, commented: "This [proposed track] is of such significance that I think it would be a disservice not to send the decision-makers to a race. It's important that they have an opportunity to view a race and talk to people. I still feel confident that we have the top site we wouldn't be spending money if we didn't feel we were in contention."

The positive move by the Marysville council is contrasted by the formation of two separate action groups opposing a rival, US$130m project on a 1485-acre site near the township of , WA.
