HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hello my friend
In 1996, International Speedway Corporation began exploring the
idea of building a track in the Midwest. Bonds were sold in 1998
and construction on the 1.5-mile tri-oval began a year later.



Tickets for the 2001 season went on sale on Aug. 17, 2000,
and within a week, nearly 80 percent of the season tickets
had been sold. Paving on the track begin in September of that
year and construction was completed in the spring of 2001.



Jeff Gordon won the first two Cup events there,
starting with the inaugural race on Sept.30, 2001.

Soldiers from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command
will thrill race fans with a daring pre-race demonstration
prior to the start of the Camping World RV 400 presented
by Coleman at Kansas Speedway on September 28, 2008.



NASCAR fans will get a first hand and up-close look at a
Special Operations infiltration demonstration, including
a high-altitude, low-opening (HALO) parachute jump by the U.S.
Army Special Operations Command’s Black Daggers.



Also, the official Ford Fusion pace car is going on a special
“ride” as part of the pre-race demonstration. It will be
airlifted and then offloaded onto the track by an MH-47 Chinook
helicopter from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne).



Following the pace car “delivery”, eight Special Forces Soldiers
will fly into action on two MH-6 Little Bird helicopters for a
simulated tactical infiltration.



Here are some fun Race Track Facts



#1 Throughout a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series weekend at Kansas Speedway,
Americrown, who handles all concessions, catering and merchandise
for the track, sells more than 31,600 gallons of soda. How far could
a NASCAR stock car go on 31,600 gallons of fuel? It could circle
the earth 16 times before it had to make a pit stop. That's 129,272
laps around the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway.
________________________________________________________
#2 Race fans eat 14,504 hot dogs on a typical race weekend at the track.
That's enough wieners to cover 437 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock cars from
nose to tail.
________________________________________________________
#3 About 25,000 hamburgers, which equals about 6,615 pounds, are
eaten over the course of the weekend. That much meat adds up to
49 Mark Martins, the lightest driver on the NEXTEL Cup circuit
at 135 pounds.
_________________________________________________________
#4 Around 26,203 gallons of beer is sold. That's enough to fill a
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock car gas tank 1,191 times.

#5 Nearly 250 yards of bratwurst are sold.

#6 About 23,200 orders of French fries are sold.
