Bad News for Kentucky

I just plucked the following off Jayski:

Kentucky Speedway lawsuit against NASCAR/ISC dismissed: Today on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio at approximately 11:15am/et, SIRIUS host Steve Post reported that the U.S. District Court in Kentucky has dismissed the anti-trust lawsuit filed by Kentucky Speedway against NASCAR and ISC alleging the two worked together to restrict the Kentucky track from acquiring a NASCAR Cup race. SIRIUS host, Steve post: "Breaking news and to my knowledge you are hearing it first right here on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio. We just have word that the courts in Kentucky, the case Kentucky vs. ISC, have entirely dismissed this case. It looks like the whole thing has been thrown out."
AND A judge has ruled in favor of NASCAR and International Speedway Corp. in an anti-trust lawsuit filed by Kentucky Speedway's owner. U.S. District Court Judge William O. Bertlesman's opinion was issued Monday morning. In it, he ruled that even by granting Kentucky Speedway the benefit of the doubt on all reasonable inferences, the track failed to make a case. Kentucky Speedway alleged that NASCAR, which is privately held by members of the France family and sanctions races, conspired with ISC, which is publicly traded but under majority control by the Frances, to keep track Kentucky from getting Sprint Cup races. NASCAR and ISC had sought a summary judgment from the court before a trail that had been scheduled for March. Kentucky Speedway has the right to appeal Bertlesman's ruling.(Thatsracin)(1-7-200


I'm surprised. I would have bet Kentucky had a lock on an anti-trust verdict. Too bad. Now I hope Kentucky can keep its Cup Lite date.

Literally, Case Closed. I bet Post and Moody had smirks on their faces that could be seen from Jacksonville.
