Kentucky Speedway- NASCAR Lawsuit Rejected
KENTUCKY....
The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected a Kentucky Speedway lawsuit against NASCAR. The former owners of Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, in northern Kentucky, claimed NASCAR and International Speedway Corp. violated federal antitrust laws by keeping it off the premier racing circuit. The panel said the group failed to prove NASCAR and International Speedway Corp., worked together with other tracks to keep the 1.5-mile tri-oval from getting a coveted Sprint Cup race. Kentucky Speedway will host races for the NASCAR Nationwide and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races in 2010.
