Antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR to continue says former co-owner of Kentucky Speedway,
Jerry Carroll, one of the five founders and former co-owners of Kentucky Speedway, expects the group's antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR will continue at least through the appeal scheduled to be heard next month.
"Absolutely, " he said Saturday at the Sparta, Ky. venue, as he stood about 25 feet away from current track owner Bruton Smith, chairman of Speedway Motorsports Inc.
Smith and Carroll consider themselves friends, but Smith cannot convince Carroll and his partners to drop the lawsuit filed in 2005 against NASCAR and sister company International Speedway Corp.
Carroll and his partners built the track for $152 million and sold it to SMI for $78.3 million, which includes an assumption of debt of $63.3 million.
"Suing NASCAR and suing ISC, ... how are they going to make money doing that?" Smith said. "I've said from day one, I thought it was a bad lawsuit."
NASCAR has been steadfast in its stance that the lawsuit must be resolved before SMI, which is primarily owned by Smith, can realign a Sprint Cup race date from one of its other tracks to the 1.5-mile Kentucky oval.
When SMI bought the track, the founders retained their rights to pursue their lawsuit, which alleges that the France-owned sanctioning body of NASCAR illegally conspires with the publicly traded, France-controlled track operating company ISC to keep tracks such as Kentucky from obtaining Cup dates. SMI is considered a co-conspirator in the case.
A U.S. District Court judge ruled in January 2008 that there was not enough evidence for trial.
A three-judge U.S. Court of Appeals panel is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case July 30 in Cincinnati. Decisions on appeals typically come anywhere from three weeks to six months after the oral arguments in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Carroll said he believes the founders have a good chance to win on appeal and says they never considered dropping the case. He said NASCAR is just using the Cup date as leverage.
"Remember now, we're not the guys that are holding up the race, " Carroll said. "We're not the hold-up to this race. Never have been. We have a right to do what we're doing. That's the reason that we live in this country. Nobody can bully anybody around, and now they're bullying Bruton.
"We're not going to take the blame for not being able to move the race. We know what the fans want here and who is really missing out on it."
Smith says the founders have a moral obligation to land the race because the state has put $96 million into infrastructure for the facility. He doesn't blame Carroll but two of his partners, businessman Richard Duchossois (a board member of Churchill Downs Inc.) and Cintas Corp. Chairman Richard Farmer.
Carroll said all of the founding owners, including John Lindahl (a general partner at private equity firm Norwest Equity Partners) and executives at Outback Steakhouse, want to continue with the lawsuit.
"We're all together on this thing, " Carroll said. "It's not just Duchossois and Farmer. ... [We] are not going to change. These are all entrepreneurial people that built up Cintas and other [companies].
"They're not going to be intimidated by NASCAR. That's the last thing they're going to be. If they didn't feel right about what they're doing, they wouldn't go through with anything. They feel like this is a country where they have the right to do this. If the appeal goes the way we think it's going to go, I think we're going to surprise some people."
And what if they lose? Would they appeal to the Supreme Court?
"I think we'll wait and see what happens there, " Carroll said about further appeals. "We've got some very good legal minds out of Washington, D.C., and New York City, and we sort of said whatever our lawyers think - if they thought this was a waste of time [we'd drop it], but they all say, 'No, let's do what we're doing.'
"So it's on."
If the founders win their appeal, the case would go back to U.S. District Court for trial and, with appeals, could drag on for years.
"It won't be a quick turnaround, " Carroll said about a potential timeline for trial. "We're going to see what happens. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
"As long as we've got that chance and worked hard to get it - we had 10 years in here, tens of millions dollars lost - we've got the right to do what we're doing. I'm not backing out."
