? Kentucky Speedway may be the next battleground between the France family's ISC and Bruton Smith's Speedway Motorsports, according to NASCAR sources. Smith wants to buy the Kentucky track, according to sources close to the situation. However, Humpy Wheeler said Smith isn't interested in buying the Kentucky track unless it comes with a Winston Cup date. NASCAR is considering adding the Cincinnati track to its Cup tour for 2002, according to television sources, and is considering adding a second Cup date at both California and Texas, too, and it appears two of those three new race dates would come at the expense of Rockingham and Darlington. Where the third date might come is unclear.
