Kansas Speedway
Kansas Speedway (1.5 miles, intermediate, Trioval) in Kansas City, Kansas
The Kansas Speedway is located in the United States in the west of the divided by the Missouri River, Kansas City, which is part of the state capital of eastern Missouri. Sounds complicated, but also the following: Due to its proximity to the Speedway Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer and Jamie McMurray this race called their home race. In Kansas, NASCAR has performed from 2001 to 2010 only once a year on the slimmest 1.5-mile oval in the entire calendar. Since 2011, at the distance of only 15 ° bends, which is quite unique even among the "cookie cutter speedways," went a second time.
Although the oval also has a D-shape, but is less rounded and inflated than its sister track in Chicago, but both drivers and teams according to race tracks pretty well comparable. The start and finish line in Kansas is rounder and more likely to compare with the 2-mile ovals. This contrasts with the otherwise more conventional 1.5-pile of Speedway Motorsports Inc., such as Texas or Atlanta. These routes are on the start / finish straight "square" and also made flatter.
