Kentucky Speedway - Cup Series Race Winners
 | Kentucky Speedway is a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) tri-oval speedway in Sparta, Kentucky opening in 2000. The track is currently owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Originally owned by Jerry Carroll. Bruton Smith purchased the track in 2008 and invested $50 million in the speedway, planning to move a NASCAR Cup Series event to the track by 2009. However, the speedway did not receive a NASCAR Cup Series event in the 2009 season. The speedway continued playing host to Camping World Truck Series, Nationwide Series, IndyCar, and Firestone Indy Lights Series events through 2010 and further. In 2010, both former owners of the speedway reached a settlement, ending an ongoing lawsuit. In August 2010, it was announced that the speedway would hold its inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event, the Quaker State 400, during the 2011 season. Before the first NASCAR Cup Series event, Kentucky Speedway expanded the capacity of the track of 107,000.[10] The speedway also reconfigured pit road, and added 200 acres of camping. |
