Sparta, KY (Sports Network) - The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is coming to the "Bluegrass State," starting in 2011. Justin Tuck Jersey. After more than a decade of requesting a Cup date, Kentucky Speedway will be added to the 2011 schedule. Bruton Smith, the chairman and chief executive officer of Speedway Motorsports Inc., the parent company of the speedway, confirmed on Tuesday the 1.5-mile oval, located roughly 40 miles south of downtown Cincinnati, will host a 400-mile night-time Cup race on July 9, 2011. "Youve been waiting 11 years," Smith said during a news conference held at the speedway. SMI bought the speedway in 2008. Last week, officials from Atlanta Motor Speedway announced the track will host only one Cup event, which will take place on Labor Day weekend, beginning next year. SMI moved its Atlanta spring race to Kentucky. Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and officials from both NASCAR and the Kentucky Speedway, as well as former NASCAR driver and Kentucky native Darrell Waltrip and Joey Logano, who has won the last three Nationwide Series races at the track, were among those present for the announcement. "I thought Ive been to some exciting events, but I havent been to one more exciting than the announcement that Bruton Smith just gave us," Governor Beshear said. "The addition of a 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in 2011 solidifies the speedways status as a world-class motorsports venue in the nations number-one spectator sport. In its 11th year, the speedway has finally reached the pinnacle." The track opened in 2000, with the Camping World Truck Series competing once each year since then. The Nationwide Series has been racing here once each season since 2001. Nationwide will join Sprint Cup on the same weekend at Kentucky next year. The current seating capacity at the speedway is 66,000, but Smith said he plans to add an additional 50,000 seats to the venue. Kentucky becomes the first track added to the Cup schedule since Chicagoland Speedway and Kansas Speedway - both 1.5 miles in length -- in 2001. Aaron Hernandez Jersey White.

Its essentially nine teams fighting for six spots, with the Vancouver Canucks and Detroit Red Wings all but locks for postseason berths.
