SPARTA, Ky. -- The repave wasn't the only change made to the racing surface at Kentucky Speedway. It was announced back in early-January that the 1.5-mile facility would undergo its first repave in its 17-year history. In addition, they changed the degree of the banking in turns 1 and 2, narrowed the width of the turns, improved drainage and added over three-thousand feet of SAFER barrier.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, XFINITY Series and Camping World Truck Series will compete at Kentucky Speedway this weekend. Please check below for the complete schedule of events.
