The 1.5-mile D-shaped oval has led to exciting racing year in and year out with its sweeping turns (14 degrees banking) and wide (70 feet) racing surface. The speedway has undergone a makeover since October 2010, adding seats and camping spaces. The lone difference to the racetrack is moving the pit lane closer to the main grandstand.
