After fighting for nearly a decade to earn a spot on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, Kentucky Speedway is set to host its first Sprint Cup series race, the inaugural Quaker State 400 on July 9th. The first race however is not being held without controversy among the fans that will be filling the stands.
The Speedway has held other NASCAR races including Nationwide and Camping World Truck series races, but the first Sprint Cup series race is expected to pack the stands. But among those fans are growing legions of dissenters who are complaining about the Speedway’s decision to discount tickets after fans had purchased them at face value.
According to the track’s website fans who have yet to purchase tickets can buy $40 seats to the Nationwide race. Some fans paid $65 for the very same seats.
