Kentucky
Opened in 2000, the 1.5-mile tri-oval Kentucky Speedway hosts four race weekends a year, including the Busch Series and Craftsman Trucks.
Carl Edwards became the first driver to win races at Kentucky in both series when he won the 2005 Busch 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 Nextel Cup races.
The lawsuit seeks to force NASCAR to award the track a Nextel Cup race.
