Track tidbit: International Speedway Corporation began exploring the idea of building a racing facility in the midwest in 1996. Attention was turned towards the Kansas City area, settling with the Kansas side because of better funding. The building of the speedway has had a significant impact on the area, with
the speedway bringing $243 million and 5,000 jobs to the state of Kansas each year.
