Track Locations

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races across America each season with its 36 championship-point events being hosted at 22 tracks in 19 states. While the Southeast remains the foundation of the series, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has expanded to major markets throughout the country, particularly since the 1990s.

 

The Northeast – New England in particular – benefited first during that decades as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series became a part of the area’s sports scene in 1993 with the addition of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. A year later, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series laid a major footprint in the Midwest with the addition of the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

 

The series, with events already in Arizona (Phoenix) and California (Sonoma), further expanded in the Southwest and West with the addition of Auto Club Speedway near Los Angeles and Forth Worth’s Texas Motor Speedway in 1997, and Las Vegas Motor Speedway a year later.

 

Florida – home of the world famous Daytona International Speedway – added another venue near its southernmost tip in 1999 when Homestead-Miami Speedway hosted its inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event. The most recent additions came in 2001 and bolstered the Midwest with Chicagoland Speedway and Kansas Speedway joining the schedule. And in 2004 and 05’ NASCAR responded to the growing popularity of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in the Southwest by awarding second race dates Auto Club Speedway (’04), Phoenix International Raceway (’05) and Texas Motor Speedway (’05).

 

In total – from the weekly and regional levels to the three national series that consist of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series – NASCAR sanctions more that 1,500 events in 12 different series at 100 tracks in 35 U.S. states, Canada and Mexico.
