“Our Kentucky Speedway team is committed to creating a world-class customer experience every time we stage an event. Our fans continuously bring us new ideas, so we expect our council’s input to make a noticeable impact during future events,” Kentucky Speedway General Manager Mark Simendinger said.      

Council member selections will be made by Sept. 21, 2012.  Kentucky Speedway’s Sept. 21-22 weekend features Austin Dillon racing for a second straight 300-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series Kentucky crown on Saturday afternoon in a field that includes fan-favorite talents Danica Patrick, Kurt Busch, Elliott Sadler, Sam Hornish Jr., and more.

The weekend opens Friday with 201 miles of primetime NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racing.
