<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 11, 2006) A group of investors based in Utica wants to build a race track and entertainment complex in Northern St. Lawrence County, just south of the Mohawk reservation. They say construction alone would create more than 4000 jobs. And once it’s up and running, the track could generate millions of dollars in annual revenue for the county. Reaction in the community is mixed.  Douglas Hopper went to the site and nearby towns to find out what people had to say.

<title>NASCAR Drivers Become Sledders for Bobsled Team</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6738/20060112/nascar-drivers-become-sledders-for-bobsled-team</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 12, 2006) The U.S. Bobsled Team won its first Olympic medals since 1956 in Salt Lake City four years ago.  The turn-around is due in no small part to the philanthropic efforts of NASCAR veteran Geoff Bodine.  He’s raised more than a million dollars to help make better sleds with American technology.  Last weekend, Bodine invited other NASCAR drivers to race the Olympic bobsled track in Lake Placid.  They brought their addiction to speed and competition, and their fame, to help boost the sport.  David Sommerstein reports. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6738/20060112/nascar-drivers-become-sledders-for-bobsled-team">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
