Texas Motor Speedway

Texas Motor Speedway is a is a speedway located in the northernmost portion of the U.S. city of Fort Worth, Texas – the portion located in Denton County, Texas. The reconfigured track measures 1.44 mi with banked 20° in turns 1 and 2 and banked 24° in turns 3 and 4. Texas Motor Speedway is a quad-oval design, where the front straightaway juts outward slightly. The track layout is similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. The track is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., who owns many other NASCAR tracks, Including Atlanta and Charlotte.

Based on qualifying speeds in 2004 and 2005, the Texas Motor Speedway was once considered the fastest non-restrictor plate track on the NASCAR circuit, with qualifying speeds in excess of 192 mph and corner entry speeds over 200 mph. However, as the tracks' respective racing surfaces continue to wear, qualifying speeds at Atlanta have become consistently faster than at Texas (2005 and 2006).

Texas Motor Speedway is home to two NASCAR Cup races: the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 and the AAA Texas 500, as well as two NASCAR Xfinity Series Races, and the My Bariatric Solutions 300 and the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300.
