It looks good that NASCAR is going to be brought to a strip of farmland between Marysville and Arlington. International Speedway Corporation, who builds these tracks is said to make an announcment Monday; however, the Seattle Times reports the following from a conversation with Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon:

He later called the reporter to see if a story on the decision would be delayed. When told it would not, he then said ISC will be in Snohomish County on Monday to announce its decision. But he insisted he didn’t know what the decision would be.

“I feel good about it,” he said of the impending announcement. “I think it’s a positive sign that they’re coming to Washington state.”

But after his telephone conversation with a reporter, Reardon inadvertently left his phone off the hook and could be heard telling other county officials in his office that he was only “playing dumb” and that he had told another official Marysville would be the site.

Hilarious!! What a huge mistake for someone in his position. Busted!

I’m not normally a fan of NASCAR, much preferring to watch real racing, but I’ll likely shoot up for a race or two if it gets put in.
