Opening in 1996, the Texas Motor Speedway boasts a seating capacity of 212,585 and is located in Fort Worth, Texas.  This 1.5 mile super speedway is a quad oval with a 24 degree banking. The design of Texas Motor Speedway is very similar to that of Atlanta Motor Speedway and Lowes Motor Speedway which are all owned by Speedway Motor Sports, Inc.

 

The Texas Motor Speedway was once considered to be the fastest non-restrictor plate race on the NASCAR tour with qualifying speeds in excess of 192 mph and corner entry speeds of over 200 mph. Brian Vickers holds the record for the fastest qualifying time at 196.235 mph. Texas Motor Speedway was the first track to install a different type lap counter, one that counts the laps remaining and also the laps that have been run.

 

For a 10 year anniversary celebration, the Texas Motor Speedway asked their fans to vote on the most memorable moment in the track’s history. Winning by a landslide was Dale Earnhardt, Jr’s. first ever Nextel Cup Victory in 2000.

 

When selecting your seat at the Texas Motor Speedway the Grandstands are constructed such that Section 1 is on Turn 1, Section 2 on Turn 2 and so forth. The front stretch seating in section PSL (preferred seat license) PU 101-128 and PU 401-428  in Rows 29-66 give you the best view of the entire track and pit road.

 

Remember to bring your cooler - Texas Motor Speedway does permit a 14 x 14 cooler filled with your favorite beverage as the track is located in a “dry county” and is not permitted to sell alcoholic beverages.
