The story of Kentucky Speedway is a strange chapter in modern racing. Nestled in Sparta, the 1.5-mile tri-oval was supposed to be the crown jewel of a new era of expansion. When the Cup Series finally arrived in 2011, the excitement was palpable. And in its final Cup Series act in 2020, it delivered one of the most spectacular finishes in recent memory: Cole Custer taking the checkered flag after a breathtaking four-wide pass on the final lap.
