AboutTexas Motor Speedway
Everything is bigger in Texas - and that includes race tracks. The 1.5-mile oval of Texas Motor Speedway is home to everything from NASCAR's top three classes to Legends Cars.
Located on the north side of Fort Worth, the construction of Texas Motor Speedway began in spring of 1995 and required the movement of more than four million cubic yards of earth before it was completed the following year. The oval originally featured unique dual-angle banking and its first major race, a NASCAR Xfinity Series event in April 1997, was won by Mark Martin. Jeff Burton captured the first NASCAR Cup Series race the following day in front of a sell-out crowd of over 200,000. Two months later, Kenny Irwin won the first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race held at TMS. The track has been good to Dale Earnhardt, Jr.; he won his first ever Xfinity Series race there in 1998, and then two years later, won his first Cup race. Shortly after Earnhardt's Xfinity win, the oval was reconfigured, eliminating the eight-degree section of the dual-angle banking—and other repaves, reprofiles, and additional tweaks would become common in future years.
While INDYCAR has developed a reputation for close and sometimes spectacular racing at Texas Motor Speedway over the past decade, in 2001 CART's single visit to the speedway demonstrated that cars can sometimes be just too fast for a venue. Kenny Brack won the pole at a sizzling 233 mph, but before the green flag could wave the following day, the race was cancelled when all but two of the drivers experienced disorientation or dizziness due to sustained g-loading on the banking. Texas’ INDYCAR event was a mainstay of the schedule from its Indy Racing League days in 1997 through 2023.
