Kentucky Speedway Adds Parking

Bruton Smith, chairman of Speedway Motorsports Inc. and owner of Kentucky Speedway, talks to reporters Wednesday about improvements in traffic control and parking at the Kentucky track in anticipation of this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend.
Kentucky Speedway will be capable of accommodating as many as 18,700 more cars on its property this year after buying 171 acres from neighboring landowners and clearing 55 acres that it already owned. The speedway's owner and general manager spent almost an hour on Wednesday outlining the parking expansion and other improvements being made in response to last July when parking problems and miles-long traffic jams kept thousands from attending the inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
