Antitrust Lawsuit Against NASCAR Dismissed

Yesterday, the Eastern District of Kentucky district court granted NASCAR’s motion for summary judgement.  According to the AP:

Kentucky Speedway alleged that NASCAR had conspired to leave the Sparta track and others out of the Sprint Cup — formerly known as the Nextel Cup — series despite their superior amenities.

Attorneys for NASCAR and ISC asked Bertelsman for a summary judgment in November, arguing the speedway had insufficient evidence to prove NASCAR and ISC worked together with other tracks to keep the Kentucky track from obtaining a race in the Sprint Cup series.

Here is the opinion.
