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. You will likely see the same cast of characters at the front of the pack- Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, and Jeff Burton. 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.

The Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, is a quad oval-track is banked 24 degrees in turns and is 1.5 miles in circumference.
