Kansas Speedway® and The Cordish Company delivered their Hard Rock Hotel and Casino proposal to the State of Kansas today. The proposal calls for the destination hotel and casino to be built overlooking Turn 2 of Kansas Speedway.

"We submitted our Hard Rock Hotel and Casino proposal this morning to the state," said Kansas Speedway President Jeff Boerger. "We believe our proposal will increase tourism to the state of Kansas and also have a large economic impact on the city, county and state.

"We also anticipate the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino will place an even greater national demand on our tickets at Kansas Speedway and encourage local fans to purchase their tickets now to enjoy some of the best racing in the country."

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino would cost more than $670 million, and include retail and entertainment outlets.
