Thats awesome, an article come along with it?

I can't believe NASCAR is allowing this. While they have let hotel/casinos be associated w/ tracks before, have they ever been actually inside of the track like this one? Most sports try to stay as far away as possible from any type of gambling. I think this is taking the commercialism of NASCAR way too far.
