The inactive Kentucky Speedway has served as a storage depot for a large number of Ford F150 trucks since the spring, and the number of vehicles at the track has continued to rise. Look at how many trucks are parked in the lots this month as Ford waits to obtain the parts it needs to finish and ship them off to buyers and dealers. According to satellite images, the unfinished trucks now occupy over half of the track's parking spaces per week.
Ford's Louisville assembly plant is the primary production site for Ford trucks. It is located less than two hours away from Kentucky Speedway. Due to a lack of parts, the automaker has over 40,000 trucks and SUVs that it can't finish. In fact, GM also has thousands of cars unfinished for the same reason.
At least Ford is finding a use for Kentucky Speedway. In its later years, the track routinely had low attendance rates due to atrocious traffic conditions both before and after races. Being located between Louisville and Cincinnati on Interstate 71, the track had little choice but to use the one major road in order to get people to and from the facility.
