One of the most exciting short tracks in NASCAR, the ¾-mile paved tri-oval annually hosts the NASCAR Busch Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The track is 60 feet wide going into turns one and two, both of which are 70 feet wide and banked at 11 degrees. The back straight is 60 feet wide going into turns three and four, which also feature 11-degree banking. The back straight has a three-degree bank, with the front straight at four degrees. In compliance with NASCAR safety requirements, the track is also equipped with SAFER (Steel And Foam Energy Reduction system) barriers, which were installed in 2004 and consist of rectangular steel tubing backed by foam blocks. The technology helps reduce the force of the initial impact, and extends approximately 30 inches from the current concrete walls. Capacity at the oval racing events is 35,000.
Grandstand G Seating
On the start/finish line and overlooking pit road, Grandstand G features the drivers at top speed on the front straight as they set up for the critical turn 1.
Grandstand J Seating
Grandstand J sports the best sight lines down the high-speed front straight, as well as the best angle to watch the fender-bending in turns 1 and 2.
Considered one of the fastest tracks on the NHRA circuit, the
¼-mile championship drag strip annually hosts the NHRA Powerade
Drag Racing Series, the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, the NOPI
Nationals, the Super Chevy Show, the BTE Million Dollar Drag Race
and the Pro Street Car World Finals. Elevation: 540 feet. Capacity
at the drag racing events is 25,000.
