Kansas Speedway and NASCAR confirm second NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend date in 2011

Yesterday, we recounted the rumor that Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., was likely to receive a second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event in 2011, and today the Speedway confirmed it.

The two big NASCAR weekends will be held on June 4-5, and October 8-9. As is the case in 2010, the October show will be part of the NASCAR Chase to the Sprint Cup championship series.

The fact that Kansas City had one NASCAR Sprint Cup event was pretty significant, but two dates at the same track place it in rarified air with some of the most elite and prestigious racing facilities in the nation. Many tracks would love to get just one date—so to receive two is quite an accomplishment for the owners and staff of parent company ISC and Kansas Speedway.
