{Kentucky}...Kyle Busch won the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Quaker State 400 at the Kentucky Speedway Saturday while mileslong rows of vehicles crept along Ky. 35 and Interstate 71 to see the first Sprint Cup race in Kentucky, which drew traffic beyond what was expected. Many sat in traffic for several hours, and some were turned away at the gate because no more parking was available. Bruton Smith, chairman of the track's ownership group, says as many as 20,000 fans didn't get in because traffic was horrendous. Governor Steve Beshear said Sunday he will work with officials at Kentucky Speedway to address the traffic flow and parking problems that left thousands of fans unable to see the race.
