As stated on by Dave Moody today on Sirius Satellite Radio, that Kansas Speedway's owner wasn't interested in a NASCAR date until NASCAR started to make the kind of money it's been making these last few years, and he questioned the authenticity of the lawsuit being brought forth.
A posted aritcle
An association of U.S.-based racing sanctioning bodies is asking to get involved in the Kentucky Speedway antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp.
The Automobile Competition Committee for the United States has asked to file a legal brief in support of NASCAR and ISC because the case involves how sanctioning bodies determine the tracks that get races.
"Kentucky Speedway asks the Court to substitute a jury's judgment for the considered judgment of the sanctioning body responsible to the sport and its fans...," the association writes in its brief. "If tracks could overturn sanctioning decisions merely by convincing a local jury that they 'deserved' to host a race, courts would be endlessly embroiled in settling such disputes."
This kind of legal stuff is far enough over my head that I can't write competently enough, so I suggest checking out the full story at scenedaily.com
