New Ontario racetrack green-lit, hopes to woo NASCAR

You may think that NASCAR is exclusively an American sport, but it has quite a following in Canada, too. How do we know that. Well, aside from knowing a few fans who count themselves among our neighbors to the north, it seems that a project has been green-lighted to build a NASCAR-minded speedway in Fort Erie, Ontario. According to reports, the $400-million project will see the construction of a new Canadian Motor Speedway, a one-mile banked oval track with spectator capacity of over 65,000, including 60,000 grandstand seats, 5,000 club chairs and 80 suites.
