With DW and the King trying to get the taxpayers to build a track for them in the Seattle Area. They were rudely treated, really laughted out of town. Seattle is yuppy land, home of Microsoft and Starbucks ect... the legislators said that there were not enough rednecks to support a track and they even implied that they were not interested in having them "invading" the Emerald City with their cigarettes and tavern jackets !!! I'm not kidding, I doubt they even knew who DW was. Nascar should have sent local boy Kasey Kane body wash and all, at least they might have been nice to him. The real problem, for NASCAR this year might be that Penske and Hendrick are car dealers and they might be in worse shape than the Big Three. And I believe Roush is also very dependent on their business.. It will be interesting...
