Stopped out at the new bluegrass motorsports park in sparta KY to see how the construction was goin on the track. The track is amazing to say the least. They were assembling the tire walls when i got there. I think i'm gonna go back and help since they're giving you track time for working.

They didnt really want to release a date that the track will be open because not everything goes as planned. To say the least it will prob be 1.5-2 months. I snapped these photos to share with everyone. Also the final layer of asphalt is not on there yet. Really cool dudes there

Don't mind the dirt/water on track, thats cause they blocked the drains off durning winter so nothing got damaged.

Thanks for the update. Looks like some interesting corners and elevation changes.

How long is that straight, do you know? In the aerial, it looks like it might be pretty long.

Yeah it has alot of elevation changes and some awesome corners. I got to drive around once. Such a tease

They're gonna have 2 options on the straight to slow car's down. Its on there website now with a updated site map.

At the heart of Bluegrass Motorsports Park is a 2.5-mile road course with a 3200' front straight, and over 120' of elevation change through positive and negative camber turns in the hills of Northern Kentucky. Bluegrass

I saw this from the highway on Saturday. I had heard it was in the works but didn't realize it was so close. Is it true Dario Franchitti had something to do with this? I heard this last year sometime. He bought a place pretty close to the track on the river.

Looks like a fun track with a couple technical corners. How long is the track? I'm guessing a little over 2 miles?
