IIRC, A27 is sitting on indigenous land, and the track was co-developed with the tribe / band that owns the land. And because of that, there is far less red tape involved.
Generally speaking, local businesses close to a race track know and appreciate the benefits that the track brings to the community, but residents tend to be less supportive. In that regard, it is pretty rare that Mission Raceway enjoys the public support that it does. (But I keep thinking their City Council still wants to replace the whole thing with "waterfront properties" even though they no longer say that in their official city plans.)
