Tracks of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series©
Often when I mention I'm into NASCAR rather than other sports out there, I usually receive a response
similar to That's boring. All it is is cars going around in circles!
which is true to an extent, I
guess. However, not every track is the same. Some are short and less than a mile long, such as Martinsville
Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia, while others are enormous such as Daytona International Speedway in
Daytona Beach, Florida. Each track has unique qualities that distingush one another, and there are even two
road courses, Infineon Raceway in Fontana, California, and Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York,
that break away from the traditional left turn oval
format to make for some new and exciting racing. There
is also a unique track named Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania, which is shaped like a triangle.
