Kentucky Speedway is a 1.5 mile D-Shaped Oval speedway located in Sparta, Kentucky. Kentucky Speedway has hosted ARCA, NASCAR and Indy Racing League racing annually since it opened in 2000. Before the first Sprint Cup Series event in 2011, Kentucky Speedway expanded it's capacity of the track from 66,000 to 107,000 total seats. The speedway also reconfigured pit road, and added 200 acres of camping space. On July 1, 2011, nine days before it's inaugural Sprint Cup Series event, it was announced that the race was a sell-out and Kyle Busch emerged as the winner of the first race.
