 | | The site, about 15 miles from downtown Kansas City, Mo., but located across the state line in Wyandotte County, Kansas, was selected in 1997 by International Speedway Corporation, the company that owns other racing facilities such as Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Darlington Raceway. |
 | | The people behind the project knew that Kansas Speedway, once built, would fill a major void in the Midwest, an area of the United States with dozens and dozens of tracks where racers and race fans spend their summer evenings. |
 | | Retail stores, hotels, restaurants and other facilities have come to the area surrounding Kansas Speedway, helping to add both to the quality of life in the area and to the experience for fans who come to the track for races featuring NASCAR and other cars. |
