NASCAR drivers face challenges at Kentucky

The finish line isn’t in view just yet, but Kentucky Speedway’s days as the roughest track in NASCAR are coming to an end.

The track that has bloodied drivers’ noses from the bumps and bruised their egos is in the middle of a repaving project. It’s one of several projects for the 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) track in Sparta, Kentucky, expected to be finished at the beginning of June.
