Kentucky Speedway Contract Awarded

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Kentucky state Transportation Cabinet officials announced Monday that they have awarded a contract for road work near Kentucky Speedway at Sparta. Last summer, the track's inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event was marred by a massive traffic jam that kept some fans from seeing the race. Sunesis Construction Co. of West Chester, Ohio submitted the low bid of $3.7 million to expand an interstate ramp and a state highway near the speedway. The cabinet says the winning bid came in more than $220,000 below its estimate.
