U.S. District Court Judge William O. Bertelsman dismissed the lawsuit that Kentucky Speedway filed against NASCAR. The Judge stated the the Kentucky Speedway representatives failed to make a reasonable case with their claim that NASCAR refuted any NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.
NASCAR was pleased with the court's ruling. “It puts an end to any question about which locations and dates NASCAR can operate its races,” said Ramsey Poston, a NASCAR spokesman.
On the other hand, Stanley Chesley, the attorney for Kentucky Speedway was disappointed. “We are disappointed in the court's decision for ourselves, for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and for all those fans who have been hurt by what we believe are NASCAR's and ISC’s anticompetitive actions."
Kentucky Speedway representatives plan to file an appeal.
