Chicagoland Speedway 



And now you'll see them under the lights!
It took until 2001 for NASCAR racing to be a reality in Joliet, IL ~~ that was when Chicagoland Speedway had it's debut races (Jimmie Johnson won the Busch (now Nationwide) Series race and Kevin Harvick won the Nextel (now Sprint) Cup race). And now, new for 2008, Chicagoland Speedway will join only a handful of other tracks in the ability to host a night race. Both NASCAR races this year will be under the lights.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway 



The Diamond In The Desert
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is The Diamond In The Desert. And it is exciting NASCAR racing at it's best. It is a one and half mile D-shaped oval that has been hosting races since 1996. Come along with me and learn a bit more about this desert beauty.

Homestead-Miami Speedway 



What A Way To End The Season!
Homestead-Miami Speedway is the home of the season finale races for NASCAR Sprint Cup races, NASCAR Nationwide Series racing, and NASCAR Craftsmen Truck Series racing. And what a gorgeous spot it is to have finales in. This is the only racetrack I have ever been to and I loved it. Didn't get to see a race there - I was on my way to Key West and stopped there while they were doing time trials for the Ford 400. The track itself was closed to visitors because they were working feverishly to repa...

California Speedway 



Racing Fun In The California Sun
I wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger ever imagined while filming "The Terminator" on the dilapidated grounds of the old Kaiser Steel factory that he would one day return there. Not for a sequel to the movie -- indeed, not even as an actor. But that he would be the Governor of the state, and the Kaiser site would no longer be a movie set, but a fantastic 2 mile track for NASCAR?

Darlington Speedway 



This Track Is Too Tough To Tame
Darlington Raceway. The Lady In Black. One of the best places on the planet to be a NASCAR fan. If you've never watched a race at Darlington Raceway, you have no idea what you have been missing out on. Whether in person, or on television -- this track is what racing is all about!

Texas Motor Speedway 



You Have To Love The Great American Speedway
Texas may be known for a lot of things - but I only care about one: The Great American Speedway in Justin, Texas (near Fort Worth). The Texas Motor Speedway is a one and a half mile quad-oval track that hosts races for all levels of NASCAR racing (Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series, and Craftsmen Truck). I love watching the drivers battle their way around this awesome track. Also, possibly because it is Texas - the tailgating there is spectacular!

Pocono Speedway 



If You're Looking For A Quiet Day In The Mountains - You Might Want To Try Somewhere Else...
What you will find in the Pocono's -- specifically at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania is thundering loud NASCAR racing at it's best. This track is a favorite for many, and for very good reason -- it is wicked fun to watch a race there. Pocono Raceway also has claim to the only triangle track in NASCAR racing, with each of the three turns modeled turns at three different tracks. Pocono Raceway is also known to have one of the most accessible pit areas for getting autographs from your...
