Kansas adds more seating for '05

Kansas Speedway is on the expansion trail, after announcing that 1,600 seats will be added to the facility for 2005.

The new permanent grandstand seats will be added on grade along the front stretch near Turn 1. Because of Kansas Speedway’s bowl-shaped design, the new seat locations will continue to provide some of the best views of the race track, pit lane and all the exciting track action – from start to finish. Construction on the seats will begin shortly after the Banquet 400 on October 10.

"It’s thrilling to see Kansas Speedway grow,” said Kansas Speedway president Jeff Boerger. “Ticket demand has been amazing, and we expect that it will continue because Kansas Speedway is one of the best values in motorsports.”

With the addition of the seats, the total capacity of Kansas Speedway’s grandstand will be nearly 82,000. The new seats are bench-style seats with backs in varying shades of green – depicting Kansas’ waving fields of wheat.
