Kansas Speedway
2013, DP
)

Kansas Speedway (formerly known as Kansas International Speedway in initial planning and construction stages) is a 1.500-mile (2.414 km) tri-oval intermediate speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The track, since its inaugural season of racing in 2001, has hosted a variety of racing series, including NASCAR, IndyCar, and the IMSA SportsCar Championship. The track has been owned by NASCAR since 2019, with Patrick Warren serving as the track's president. The track is served by the concurrent Interstate 70, U.S. Route 24, and U.S. Route 40, along with Interstate 435.

As of 2019, the track has a stated capacity of 48,000, down from its peak of 82,000 in the mid-2000s. The track is adjacent to the Hollywood Casino, which opened in 2012 and is a joint venture by

".

As part of the construction boom of oval tracks in the 1990s, the International Speedway Corporation (ISC) sought to build a track in the Midwest. In 1997, ISC announced plans to build a track in the Kansas City metropolitan area, eventually building it in Wyandotte County, Kansas. Although the track was scheduled to open in 2000, the track faced multiple lawsuits by homeowners who lived in the area, pushing its construction back by months and delaying its opening to 2001. Since 2001, the track has remained in some form within the NASCAR calendar.

Description

Configurations

The speedway in its current form is measured at 1.5 miles (2.4 km), with the track having a progressive banking system in the turns. Subsequently, the track has 17 degrees of banking at the track's bottom lane, and 20 degrees of banking at the track's top lane in the turns. The frontstretch has 10 degrees of banking, and the backstretch has 5 degrees of banking.[1] Different measurements of length have been used; IndyCar has utilized a length of 1.52 miles (2.45 km) for its races.[2]

Within the track's infield, there is an infield road course that is connected to the main oval track to create a "

roval". During the track's construction in 2000, then-track president Grant Lynch stated that initial plans for the track included an infield road course.[3] The road course was constructed in 2012 as part of renovations made to the track.[4] The road course is 2.37 miles (3.81 km) long, with the infield portion of the course having six turns.[5]

Amenities

The track is served by numerous major roads. The track is next to an intersection of the concurrent Interstate 70, U.S. Route 24, and U.S. Route 40, and Interstate 435.[6] At the time of the track's construction, the complex covered 1,250 acres, had a capacity of around 75,000, and had 65 rows of grandstand seating.[7] As of 2019, the track has a current capacity of 48,000, down from its previous 64,000 according to annual reports from ISC.[8] At its peak, the track had a capacity of 82,000, which occurred in the mid-2000s.[9]

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

The Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway was approved in 2009 after an initial failed attempt by the track and the Cordish Corporation the previous year.[10] The casino is a joint venture by the track and Penn Entertainment, who bought out Cordish.[11] The casino overlooks the track's second turn, features a 268,000 square foot complex, and is themed after the Hollywood area in Los Angeles, California.[12] The casino opened in February 2012.[13]

Track history

Initial bids, planning

As part of the oval track construction boom in the 1990s, in December 1996, the International Speedway Corporation (ISC) announced preliminary plans to find a location to build a $100 million, 120,000-seat capacity track. An official for ISC, John Story, mentioned that the Kansas City metropolitan area was a suitable area that the company was looking at. In addition, the project was supported by the Kansas City Area Development Council.[14] An initial bid by the city of Gardner, Kansas, was made in February 1997;[15] however, the plan met local opposition[16] and the city eventually backtracked after city officials witnessed the 1997 Daytona 500, realizing that building it in Gardner would be too close to already existing residential development along with heavy traffic congestion.[17] By April, ISC narrowed down their selected sites to 16, which included plots in Platte County, Missouri and Wyandotte County, Kansas.[18]

The next month, ISC was considering using a plot of land near Interstate 29 near the Kansas City International Airport.[19] By July, ISC announced that the Kansas City area was their "No. 1" choice to build the track, asking the area to pay for the track.[20] Three locations were then narrowed down: one in Missouri with the previously mentioned land near Interstate 29, and two locations in Kansas; one plot near Interstate 70 and Interstate 435, and one plot near 110th Street and Parallel Parkway.[21] Officials from both Kansas and Missouri both went to ISC's headquarters to try and convince ISC to build the track in their respective areas,[22] with the project drawing relatively positive public support.[23] By mid-August, Wyandotte County officials entered negotiations with ISC, with local county agencies giving "heavy support" for the project.[24] At the end of negotiations in October, the plot of land near I-70 and I-435 was chosen, with initial plans stating to sit 75,000 with room to expand to 150,000. The track's budget stated amounted to almost $200 million. The track's construction was scheduled to start in the spring of 1998 and was scheduled to be finished sometime in 2000.[25]

Lawsuits, delays

With the purchase of the land from ISC, 146 homeowners along with some property managers were affected by the purchase. As a result, the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City made incentive offers to get homeowners to move out of the area.[34] In April, a lawsuit was filed by 11 homeowners to stop ISC and Unified from buying any property, stating that the defendants did not have a final plan to start buying property.[35] By July, the government was considering using the power of eminent domain, with local Kansas law declaring that condemnation could be used if the area is within a "major tourism district".[36] On July 10, the Kansas Supreme Court unanimously decided with ISC and Unified, basing their opinion with the Fifth Amendment in their ruling.[37] Residents then decided to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States on July 20.[38]

Nine days later, another lawsuit was filed by 13 property owners over insufficient relocation and moving packages.[39] As a result of the lawsuit, the purchase of $95 million of revenue bonds was delayed until the lawsuit was resolved, leading to a potential delay in opening.[40] In response, ISC and Unified made efforts to buy up property for a combined total of around $13 million, with the issue considered settled.[41][42] However, in September, Donna L. Laughery, a property owner, filed another lawsuit on the basis that she wanted to "learn terms of all contract agreements with property owners" according to her lawyer, accusing the defendants of incentive payments being made out in a discriminatory manner.[43] Attorney Nick Tomasic sought to get the Kansas Supreme Court to directly hear the case to prevent any further delays;[44] however, this was declined by the Kansas Supreme Court.[45] By mid-October, although most residents were expected to move out by the end of the month and ISC was expected to own most of the property needed, the actual construction was still uncertain.[46] A summary judgement was later granted at the end of October,[47] and in November, the case was dismissed.[48] In January 1999, $95.6 million worth of bonds were sold, officially resuming the project.[49] However, an opening date for the track was not stated by Lesa France Kennedy, the executive vice president of ISC.[50]

Construction

Although construction had started several months earlier in September, the project was delayed to the point where chances of an opening date in 2000 were "very small" according to ISC's Grant Lynch.

Indy Racing League (IRL) announced future races at the track for 2001.[55] By July, although the project experienced further delays due to weather,[56] the track started to sell tickets,[57] with demand being so high that the project's leaders were considering to expand their initial capacity and amount of suites.[58] Within the next two months, the track considered adding Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) races[59] and selling naming rights in wake of Charlotte Motor Speedway doing the same earlier in the year.[60] Officials later stated hope of opening the track for private testing in the fall of 2000.[61]

Despite the delays, construction was viewed with "high hopes" by ISC, with the final budget for the track being touted as $287 million in November 1999.

NASCAR Winston West Series being announced.[69][70] By February 2001, a new $236.6 million retail outlet development was announced to be built upon 250 acres of land surrounding the track, with an opening date slated for 2002.[71] In April, the first testing runs were made by ARCA driver Ryan Newman.[72]

Aside from the initial criticism and lawsuits from some local residents, the project was met with optimism throughout construction. According to The Kansas City Star, a firm associated with the track predicted a "one-time" event's revenue to rake in $12.8 million in tax revenue, with $6.1 million in the years following after.[73] In a groundbreaking celebration on May 25, 1999, the track received positive reviews from drivers Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace, and Ken Schrader.[74] In March 2000, when local Kansas lawmakers visited the track, the track drew praise from state senators Nancey Harrington and Ben Vidricksen.[75] By August 2000, 80% of tickets were sold for its NASCAR Winston Cup Series race.[76] In October, the track was projected by the local city sports council to generate $2.28 billion to the local economy by 2003.[77]

Early years

The track opened to the public as scheduled on June 2, 2001, with ARCA driver

Indy Racing League doubleheader followed a month later, with Ricky Hendrick[79] and Eddie Cheever winning their respective races.[80] In September, the track was able to hold its first Winston Cup Series race, with Jeff Gordon winning the inaugural event.[81] The next year, Lynch stepped down from his position, giving control of the track to vice president Jeff Boerger.[82] The track later expanded to include over 80,000 grandstand seats in November.[83] Two years later, the track expanded to 83,000 seats; although 150,000 seats were expected, an uncertain economy led to the track's leaders taking a conservative approach on expansion.[84]

Hollywood Casino's beginnings

Battle for state-owned casino bid

Starting in 2004, proposals by the Kickapoo tribe and the Sac and Fox Nation to build a state-regulated casino at a budget of $210 million west of the track were made to the Kansas Legislature.[85] The proposal to allow state-run casinos faced heavy opposition from several businessmen and lobbying groups, stating that the casino's revenue under the bill was too low along with chances of potential government corruption.[86][87] By March 2005, Doug Mays, speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives, declared that the tribes' compact was killed in the current session unless they allowed the state to inspect slot machines.[87]

Within the next two years, four more proposals were made. In 2007, another proposal was made in a joint venture by the track and the Cordish Corporation to compete with five other proposals that planned to build near the area, including competition from Las Vegas Sands and Pinnacle Entertainment.[88] With this, the Unified Government opted to hear all proposals by the end of the year, with all proposals having varying budgets.[89] The track later stated that their 500-room hotel and casino would cost around $600 million.[90] In October, a seventh proposal was added,[91] along with the track proposal stating that no eminent domain land would be used.[92] By December, the government heard three proposals.[93] The project later received criticism from government watchdog group Americans For Prosperity-Kansas for being too related and being funded by revenue bonds or prior tax financing; something the group argued was illegal under Kansas law.[94] By March 2008, the group filed a lawsuit in the Kansas Supreme Court against the state-owned Kansas Lottery claiming that the project would "create an illegal tax";[95] however, the law itself was viewed itself as "extremely murky" by Kansas City Star writer Rick Alm on whether the law's wording was retroactive.[96] The next month, Las Vegas Sands opted to submit their proposal despite Kansas Lottery refusing to hear it.[97]

In May, Kansas Lottery approved five proposals in Wyandotte County.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino name.[104]

Casino delays

The first phase of opening was slated for a June 2009 date; however, this was later slated to sometime later in the year.[105] In addition, the Cordish Corporation threatened to end their partnership due to a local Kansas City proposed law banning indoor smoking, but they later backtracked the threat;[106] the city later gave exemptions to the casino for smoking.[107] However, in December, as part of consequences due to the Great Recession, the partnership backed out, with the partnership hoping to reapply in the near future when the economy rose.[108] In January, the partnership announced plans to resubmit their proposal by April 1.[109] On March 31, the decision was confirmed,[110] with the partnership now having to go against two other proposals: one from Penn Entertainment and one from Golden Heartland.[111] By May, the Kansas Speedway partnership and Penn Entertainment's proposals managed to advance further into the planning stages.[112] Due to the Great Recession and its effects, both proposals, which initially had budgets of over $600 million, were cut to around $350 million for both proposals.[113]

In September, the two proposals essentially merged into one when Penn Entertainment bought out the Cordish Corporation.[11] As a result of the buyout, the Hard Rock branding was scrapped in favor of a Hollywood-themed casino, with an approval decision for the new $521 million proposal to come in December.[12] Despite being the only proposal left, the Kansas Lottery stated that they would not become a "rubber stamp" for the proposal despite renewed promises of a second NASCAR Cup Series race weekend.[114] On December 1, the Kansas Lottery approved the proposal without the hotel at a budget of $386 million, with a planned opening date in early 2012.[10] The project was given the final go-ahead in February 2010, when the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission signed off licensing background checks.[115]

Construction of Hollywood Casino, schedule changes

Boreger stepped down from track leadership to run Kansas Entertainment and the casino, promoting the track's vice president of marketing and sales, Patrick Warren, to run the track in March 2010.[116] Warren announced a desire to rebound from effects from the Great Recession.[117] On April 28, the final casino plan was announced, calling for around 2,300 slot machines, around 1,050 employees, and a 300-room hotel expansion on a 268,000 square foot plot of land.[118] Groundbreaking on the Hollywood Casino commenced on April 30, 2010. As a result of France Kennedy's promise of a second Cup Series race weekend if the casino was built, the future of the IndyCar Series at the track was left uncertain due to scheduling conflicts.[119] In July, ISC petitioned for the track to get a second Cup Series race weekend,[120] and by August 7, the Kansas City Star reported that the track would get a second race weekend.[121] On August 10, NASCAR officially confirmed the second NASCAR race weekend, along with the track announcing the addition of lights for night racing.[122][123] The next month, IndyCar announced their departure from the track.[124] The casino's topping out ceremony was performed on March 23, 2011,[125] with the casino opening to the public on February 3, 2012.[13]

Renovations, capacity decline

On July 8, 2011, the track announced renovations to the track, including a repaving and reconfiguration of the oval track, and the addition of a new infield road course.[126] Among said changes to the track were an increase of variable banking from 15 degrees to 20 degrees.[4] The track has seen a capacity decline in recent years; according to ISC archive records, the track decreased from a capacity of 64,000 seats to 48,000 in 2019.[8]

Promises of a second NASCAR Cup Series date started as early in 2008, with the track and the Cordish Corporation proposing a bid for a state-run casino near the track.
