Kentucky Motor Speedway is a 3/8-mile short track located in Whitesville, Kentucky. The track was built in 1960, with an infield figure 8 crossover added in 1981. Several NASCAR greats, including Darrell Waltrip, Michael Waltrip, and Jeremy Mayfield, and the Green brothers Jeff, David, and Mark, got their start in racing at the speedway. The facility was idle from 2005–2008 due to bankruptcy issues before officially reopening on April 19, 2009. Currently, Kentucky Motor Speedway is promoted by Brad Payne. Brad took over KMS in 2012.
