  • Texas Motor Speedway is one many 1.5 and 2.0 mile tracks the we class as Speedway Tracks in the On Pit Row stats. But all Speedways are not the same. Look at the stats for the other high-banked 1.5 milers, Las Vegas, Charlotte and Atlanta – for similar track performance. And if you have drivers who do well when it’s really fast, this track is really fast.
