Kentucky
For the first time since 2001, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series welcomes a new track to its schedule, and the timing makes this one even more of a spectacle.
This Saturday night, in the Quaker State 400, the long-awaited and much-anticipated debut of NASCAR’s premier series takes place at Kentucky Speedway.
Besides the obvious excitement surrounding an inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup race, this particular stop is vitally important for a number of drivers. Daytona hosted a wild opener to the Race to the Chase, with David Ragan’s win pushing the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup’s Wild Card spots to the forefront.
The built-in unknowns of Kentucky add intrigue to the already dramatic playoff push.
For the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, this is business as usual. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series has been racing at Kentucky since 2000, the NASCAR Nationwide bunch since 2001.
Both series will continue its decade-long Kentucky tradition. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will run Thursday night, in the UNOH 225. The NASCAR Nationwide Series will run Friday night, in the Feed The Children 300.
