Same thing happened at WOO race earlier in the year. Lanigan was not able to pass one car when he caught the tail end of field.

I rarely ever say anything negative about a track, especially a local one, but ...
I'm only 45 minutes from Bardstown, and didn't go last night. That says all you need to know about what Bluegrass Speedway has turned into. I wish the promoters (who are good people, IMO) would turn it over to someone who will invest more time and care into making it a race track once again.

Not the promoters, but the OWNER of the track.....all I am going to say. And anyone who knows me by my screen name and knows my relationship with this track knows where I am coming from...Originally posted by UGROOVE1 View PostThey are good people. Unfortunate that they know a problem exists, but refuse to make it better. It,s another example of not caring for anyone but themselves. Obviously, this track has potential. But not under these circumstances

Last years Lucas race at Bluegrass was identical to this one. So slick that nobody got lapped. Maybe next year they will see the light. This one made me scratch another track off my list. The track prep was awful again.
Wish they had a totally different concept on working the track. One that included getting water down into the track.
I will have to add that they don't have the best clay to work with either. Seems to be too much sand in it.Last edited by Clayton_Wetter; 08-31-2011, 07:01 PM.

Phil it was great to see ya again and BS a little but back to the track, if that is what they want to call it. After some thought I think the best thing that can be done with the ole bluegrass speedway is fill it with water and stock it with fish, definately one of if not the worst races I have ever seen and this was not my first trip there. I feel for all the fans that paid hard earned money to see such a schitty race!!! JMO, but I am sure that there a bunch more of us.Originally posted by gorj View PostFirst and last time until we hear some positive press. One question. During the 30 minute intermission, why didn't they water the bottom and run it in?

Ive been going to Bluegrass Speedway pretty often since 2006, and I have only seen a handfull of decent races there and those were battle of the bluegrass series races. Every Lucas and WoO race has been terrible, the guy that runs the track is rude, I have been like 3 times in the last year and he has called the race for BS stuff like lighting problems and light rain, when really he was just trying to get out of running the race because of the low fan and car count on those particular nights.
I dont know what the promoters are thinking, but its not "all about them" its about the fans that pay alot of money to see a GREAT SHOW WITH THE BEST DRIVERS IN THE SPORT. I understand promoters can go through hard times and bad luck, but its in horrible shape each and every weekend. at least have it in great shape for your biggest race..I think the laziness and greed will come back to bit him in the future.
I think Bardstown is one of if not the worst place to watch a race in KY..Ponderosa Speedway, Lake Cumberland Speedway (when the track prep is good), and Paducah International Raceway are some really great tracks that you can just about always count on a seeing a good race no matter if its local guys or the big series.
