Chuck I don't think its a loophole, it probably is just track rules. The tracks that do not allow alcohol to be brought in sell beer at a reasonable price(except Kentucky Speedway). The revenue from these sales help pay for the purse and operating cost of the track, I don't have a problem with that. I would like to be able to drink a miller lite in the stands at the burg though. I have had allergic reactions to certain alcoholic beverages in the past, it makes my butthole swell up and take over my whole body.
