That's how Texas got a second date, although it wasn't because of an anti-trust ruling. It was determined sometime in dusty history NASCAR and ICS had made a promise TMS would get a date. I wouldn't count on any "settlement" this time. Kentucky hasn't a leg to stand on, legal or otherwise. It’s not like the lawsuit route hasn’t been taken before.

Simply sue your way to a field of 43? Guess Nashville Superspeedway needs to request a larger legal fee budget for 2008 from Dover so they too can crank up the lawsuits. So KY may end up with a Cup date in SPARTA FRIGGIN KENTUCKY? Admittedly its easily accessible for teams and fans right off I-65, but Nashville is equally accessible from I-40, I-24, and SR-840. As a middle Tennessean, I don't want to sound like a whiner that a Cup date may go their way vs. ours. But maybe that's what I am. I'm sure NSS has done some behind-closed-doors arm wringing trying to get a date here - especially with the history of support in this area and the ticket-buying support mid-TN provides at other deep south tracks. But they have NOT been out in the open openly B&M about not having a date like KY who built a track knowing from the beginning NASCAR had no interest in expanding their Cup dates in that market.
