Kentucky Speedway appeal deadline extended

FONTANA, Calif. – Kentucky Speedway has received a one-month extension to file an appeal in its antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp.
Originally, Kentucky Speedway was supposed to have filed its appeal by March 5, but the new due date is April 7.
No date for a hearing has been set, but it likely would be heard in July at the earliest in U.S. Appeals Court in Cincinnati.
Kentucky Speedway alleged that NASCAR, a sanctioning body owned by the France family, and ISC, a track-operating company that is publicly traded and whose majority of voting stock is owned by the France family, conspire to keep independent tracks such as Kentucky Speedway from getting Sprint Cup dates.
NASCAR and ISC denied those claims, and in January, a U.S. District Court judge concluded that there was not enough evidence for the case to go to trial. The appeal will center on whether there is enough evidence for a trial to be held.
