Kentucky Police To Manage Traffic, Parking For NASCAR Race At Speedway

Kentucky State Police “will take the lead under the overhauled parking and traffic management plan that will be in place for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race and two support races next week at Kentucky Speedway," according to Kevin Kelly of the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER. Kentucky Speedway GM Mark Simendinger said, “I’ve seen the document the Kentucky State Police [have] prepared as the traffic management plan. It looks like Bill Belichick’s playbook. It’s extensive." The plan “takes lessons learned last year and incorporates the more than $11 million spent since then by the state and speedway on infrastructure improvements around the venue." Kentucky State Police “will be in charge of traffic and parking." Simendinger said that the speedway is “paying for the state manpower" CINCINNATI ENQUIER
