NASCAR announcement tomorrow

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Frankfort with Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman Bruton Smith and others.

An advisory distributed this morning indicated only that the news conference would address, “the future of NASCAR in Kentucky."

Also scheduled to attend are former Kentucky Speedway chairman Jerry Carroll, Kentucky Senate President David Williams and Kentucky House Majority Leader Rocky Adkins.

Carroll said the news conference would not include an announcement about bringing a long-sought NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race to Kentucky Speedway.

“We’re having lunch," said Carroll, now a consultant with SMI. “We’ll fill them in, brief them and then talk about a few things."
