NASCAR Texas: what a 1.5-mile quad-oval does to the racing

Texas Motor Speedway opened in 1997 and is a 1.5-mile quad-oval. It was reconfigured in 2017 to include progressive banking in the turns, which widened the racing lane and let drivers choose different lines. High speeds and a wide surface mean that cars spread out, then bunch up on restarts, which is when passing opportunities appear.

Choosing seats at Texas Motor Speedway

Seats are listed at the moment under the Tickets button. The grandstands are some of the tallest in the sport, so look at which row you are choosing: upper levels give a panorama of the whole oval, while lower rows give a close view of pit road. Shade is limited in the afternoon.

Planning for north Texas in spring

The track sits north of Fort Worth, near the Dallas-Fort Worth airport corridor, which makes access convenient for visitors flying in. Weather in early May is warm, humid and occasionally stormy, with sudden thunderstorms capable of delaying races. Staying in Fort Worth or Denton and driving in on the interstate is the usual approach. After Texas the schedule heads to NASCAR Kansas May; the overview is on the NASCAR 2027 schedule.
