NASCAR Tracks
Track database with layouts, surfaces, and historical data spanning 2 countries from 1949 to present — 184 total venues.
Explore every track that has hosted a NASCAR national series event — 184 venues spanning superspeedways, intermediate ovals, short tracks, road courses, street circuits, and dirt tracks across 2 countries.
NASCAR's track diversity is one of the sport's defining features. Superspeedways like Daytona International Speedway and Talladega produce pack racing and dramatic finishes. Intermediate tracks such as Charlotte Motor Speedway and Atlanta test aerodynamic setups and tire management. Short tracks — Martinsville, Bristol, and Richmond among them — reward aggression and close-quarters racing. Road and street courses including Watkins Glen, the Chicago Street Course, and Circuit of the Americas challenge drivers to master left and right turns, elevation changes, and braking zones.
Each track page includes a complete race history with every Cup, O'Reilly, and Truck Series event held at that venue, track specifications like length and surface type, top-performing drivers based on historical results, track power rankings, and similar track comparisons.
The 2026 Cup Series visits 28 unique tracks across the season. Browse the featured schedule tracks below, or search the full database by name, location, or country.

NASCAR Track Types Explained
Superspeedways
Superspeedways are ovals 2.5 miles or longer — a category that includes only Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. NASCAR uses restrictor plates or tapered spacers to control horsepower, producing tightly packed drafting freight trains, slipstream moves, and the biggest car fields in the sport. Daytona hosts the season-opening Daytona 500, NASCAR's most prestigious race.
Intermediate Tracks
Intermediate tracks span 1.5 to 2 miles and form NASCAR's bread and butter — venues like Charlotte Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, Texas, Kansas, Atlanta, and Homestead-Miami. These mile-and-a-half ovals reward a balance of raw speed, aerodynamic setup, tire management, and long-run handling, and they make up the biggest share of the Cup Series schedule. Homestead-Miami hosts the finale of The Chase.
Short Tracks
Short tracks measure under a mile and deliver NASCAR's most physical racing — Martinsville, Bristol, Richmond, and Phoenix. Bumpers, fenders, and brake rotors take a beating as drivers fight for every inch on tracks built for close-quarters combat. Tire wear, pit strategy, and track position matter far more than outright horsepower.
Road Courses
Road and street courses feature both left and right turns, elevation changes, and technical braking zones — a European-style challenge for oval racers. The 2026 Cup Series visits Sonoma, Watkins Glen, Circuit of the Americas, and a new street course in San Diego. Road courses reward smooth inputs, heavy-braking precision, and a mastery of shifting that oval-only tracks never demand.
