Kansas City used to be a hotbed for asphalt late model short track stock car racing, with at least two tracks here in the area. Over the years, those tracks have either closed or been covered with dirt, so now the only asphalt circle track is the big one-and-a-half-mile Kansas Speedway. But I’ve been jonsein’ to see some good late models on a paved track lately, and the only way to do that is to hit the road.
