Kansas Speedway president Jeff Boerger said he is getting ready to make a request to the speedway's parent company that more seats be added at Kansas. His request could be from 1,500 to 3,000 more seats. If granted, that would bring seating capacity at the four-year-old speedway in Wyandotte County [Kansas] to up to about 83,000. Boerger and his staff are currently conducting a study of precisely how many more seats to request. Once that is complete, the plan will be sent to North American Testing, which is a subsidiary of International Speedway Corporation — the company that owns Kansas Speedway — which evaluates capital improvement projects. North American Testing will evaluate the proposal and then make a recommendation to International Speedway Corporation's upper management team. If that group approves, the proposal will go to ISC's board of directors, which gives the final go-ahead. The final word could come down as soon as December. Construction would begin almost immediately after the project is approved. New seats, if added, will be connected to the front-stretch grandstands near turn one. The first phase of grandstand seating at Kansas Speedway called for 78,000 seats to be constructed. Subsequent phases of construction were to raise seating to a maximum of 150,000 seats, with a separate grandstand on the backstretch portion of the track.
