Kansas Speedway, in conjunction with the Cordish Co., has proposed a $600 million Speedway Hotel Casino that would overlook turn two of the track, which is host to the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series races this weekend. While four other competing proposals to operate a casino in Wyandotte County are in the vicinity of Kansas Speedway, this one is a pair of dice's throw from the checkered flag. "Our core business is motor sports," said Jeff Boerger, president of Kansas Speedway, "but we have to look at ways to enhance the facility, plus enhance an opportunity to continue our success."
