Kentucky Speedway Fans Still Not Being Treated Fairly
By now most NASCAR fans have heard of the numerous issues surrounding Kentucky’s inaugural NASCAR race at Kentucky Speedway.
The traffic jam that ensued made news all around the country. To make matters worse, the owner of the track Bruton Smith and Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (“SMI”) are refusing to refund fans the money spent on the tickets.
The uproar has even made it on to social networking sites. On Facebook disgruntled ticketholders have set-up a group called “Refund the Kentucky Speedway Fans." Numerous people have also pointed out the fact that not only are they out the money spent on the tickets, but many families spent money on hotels, gas, airfare, and food only to never get in to the race.
Shawn Cantley, a Kentucky attorney who handles consumer rights cases and class actions, says: "For many families, this race represented a significant share of the family vacation and entertainment budget, and they ended up sitting in traffic for 7 hours and didn't even get a chance to see the race. That's not right, and it sounds like the people who profited from this race knew there was going to be a problem well in advance."
