NASCAR says no Kentucky Cup race in ‘09

Posted by on May 23rd, 2008

Kentucky Speedway will not have a NASCAR Sprint Cup race in 2009, despite a change in ownership to Bruton Smith.

Smith, the Speedway Motorsports Inc. owner, announced Thursday that he had purchased the Kentucky track, located halfway between Cincinnati and Louisville, with the intention of having a Cup race there next season.

But after a sanctioning meeting Friday, NASCAR officials said it’s too late to consider Kentucky for next season’s schedule.

Rowdy Racing 05-23-08

Posted by on May 23rd, 2008

After saying bye-bye to Humpy, Bruton says hello to Kentucky . . . Kyle Busch is still fastest at Lowe’s . . . Tony closing in on 2009 plans . . . and Junior is happy.

Juan Pablo Montoya posted the second slowest qualifying lap out of 48 entries and dejectedly climbed from his car.

“What did you expect?” he asked. “Seriously, what did you expect?”

Montoya is still reeling from the midweek firing of Jimmy Elledge, a personnel decision that’s given the former Formula One driver his third crew chief in a month.

Three former Indy 500 winners have invaded NASCAR. Jeff Hammond takes a look at their status heading into the Coca-Cola 600.
