TV Times: Kyle Takes Two Out of Three, While Traffic Piles Up in the Bluegrass State

Lou Modestino's TV TimesKyle Busch did exceptionally well at the Kentucky Speedway over the weekend by not only by taking the Camping World Truck race, but the Sprint Cup race as well.

Track Trash: Kentucky Bluegrass

Packed stands, irate fans (regarding the traffic problem), and a good (not great) inaugural Cup race.

But if you’re a student of Bruton Smith, you know he’s gonna make this into a great track.

Then he’ll expand the stands. But this small berg of Sparta is much like Bristol….few (if any) motels in the nearby area, so it’s either Cincy, Louisville, or Lexington…..or camping out.

TV Times - The Onion Vs. The Shrub

Lou Modestino's TV TimesTodd Bodine and Kyle Busch went at it in the NASCAR Truck race at Kentucky with Bodine coming out on top with the win. Bodine’s comments while in Victory Lane about Busch’s “dirty driving” resulted in the latter’s rushing over into Todd’s face, going toe-to-toe with him – no doubt generating some much-needed publicity for NASCAR’s third-tier division!

SPARTA, Ky. -Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (SMI) Chairman and CEO Bruton Smith announced today that Kentucky Speedway will play host to its inaugural 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Saturday, July 9, 2011.

TV Times - $20 Million On The Line For Charlotte/Indy Sweep in 2011

Lou Modestino's TV TimesBruton Smith sure knows to grab the attention of the media. It’s been announced that he will award an unbelievable $20 million to the winner of both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca Cola 600, held on the same day in 2011! But in order for drivers to be entered in both races, it appears that some adjustments will have to be made. Both events will be held on Sunday of the Memorial Day weekend with the Indy 500 going at 11 a.m. and the Coca Cola 600 starting that same late afternoon. But don’t think foxy Smith doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing. He knows that plugging 500 miles at Indy and then 600 laps at Charlotte in a single day is really too much for even the best of drivers, but oh, the publicity!

Track Trash - Howiewooood

Ever wonder how much petrol is used to stage a race in California?

The haulers, the air travel, the souvenir trucks, the fans………

Sorta staggers the mind when you think about it.

In the future, one might envision electric vehicles, but it can’t quite stretch to electric airplanes.

Beam me up, Scottie.
