Gentlemen, warm your engines.
It's nowhere near a done deal, and some say it's a tall order, but the folks who brought NASCAR fans the famed Daytona speedway are pushing plans to bring stock-car racing to New York City.
International Speedway Corp., which owns 11 NASCAR tracks, including Daytona, has paid $100 million for a 450-acre former petroleum farm in Staten Island, hoping to convert it into a state-of-the-art speedway.
The project, which envisions a retail center and transportation enhancements, is undergoing traffic and environmental reviews. Some city councilmen have expressed skepticism about the traffic impact on a borough known for congestion.
