Texas Motor Speedway is a speedway located in the northernmost portion of Fort_Worth,_Texas Fort Worth, Texas -- the portion located in Denton_County,_Texas Denton County, Texas. The track layout is very similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. The track measures 1.5 miles around and is banked 24 degrees in the turns, and is of the quad-oval design, where the front straightaway juts outward slightly. The track is owned by Speedway_Motorsports Speedway Motorsports, Inc., the same company that owns Atlanta and Charlotte Motor Speedways, as well as the short-tracks Bristol and New Hampshire Motor Speedways, tri-oval Kentucky Speedway, and road course Sonoma Raceway.

Based on qualifying speeds in 2004 and 2005, the Texas Motor Speedway was once considered the fastest non-restrictor plate track on the NASCAR circuit, with qualifying speeds in excess of 192 mph and corner entry speeds over 200 mph. However, as the tracks' respective racing surfaces continue to wear, qualifying speeds at Atlanta have become consistently faster than at Texas (2005 and 2006).

Texas Motor Speedway is home to two NASCAR Cup races: the NASCAR All-Star Race and the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500, as well as two Xfinity Series Races, and the My Bariatric Solutions 300 and the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300.
