Reported on ESPN.com, it is estimated that the local economic impact of a Sprint Cup race at KY Speedway would be in the neighborhood of 200 million dollars annually...not sure how they figure these things out but these numbers compare favorably to the 2005 Super Bowl in Jacksonville when (I've read) the impact to the local economy for this once every other decade event was in the neighborhood of 275 million. Personally I don't care how many teeth the average NASCAR fan has (and I are one)

They can come into my community and buy all the gas, ice and hot dogs they want to if it is going to suport local business.
