Opened in 2000, the 1.5-mile tri-oval Kentucky Speedway hosts four race weekends a year, including the Nationwide Series and Camping World Trucks.
Carl Edwards became the first driver to win races at Kentucky in both series when he won the 2005 Nationwide Series Meijer 300. He had previously been to Victory Lane in the Truck Series in 2003.
Kentucky Speedway filed a lawsuit in July 2005 against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp., alleging the companies violated federal antitrust laws by illegally restricting the awarding of Cup races.
Kentucky Speedway was sold to Speedway Motorsports Inc. in 2008 and finally awarded a Cup race for 2011.
