Former Kentucky Speedway Owner Sued
KENTUCKY....
A group of 4 trusts operated by Duchossois Group Chairman Richard Duchossois of Illinois filed suit Tuesday against Jerry Carroll, former majority owner of Kentucky Speedway, who announced earlier that the track would not continue with a lawsuit against NASCAR. The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order this month rejecting claims that NASCAR violated federal antitrust laws by working with other tracks to keep the 1.5-mile tri-oval in northern Kentucky from getting a Sprint Cup race. Duchossois has asked the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its ruling, saying Carroll doesn't have the legal right to stop an appeal of the suit.
