Nashville Superspeedway
Tennessee, United States
Nashville Superspeedway is a 1.330 mi (2.140 km) tri-oval intermediate speedway near Lebanon, Tennessee, United States. It has held a variety of racing events since its opening in 2001, including NASCAR and the IndyCar Series. The track currently owned by Speedway Motorsports, LLC (SMI) since 2021 and led by track general manager Matt Greci. The track has a current permanent seating capacity of 25,000, with potential to expand to 38,000 with temporary grandstands. It is one of three NASCAR tracks that features a concrete racing surface instead of the traditional asphalt; its sibling tracks in Dover, Delaware and Bristol, Tennessee, are the other two. Along with the main track, the track complex also features a 1.800 mi (2.897 km) road course layout that uses parts of the main track along with an infield road course that is used to make a "roval". The complex initially planned to expand further to include a drag strip, short track, and a dedicated road course; however, these plans were scrapped. Initial plans for the track were announced in 1997 by Dover Downs Entertainment (last known as Dover Motorsports) as part of a rise of popularity in stock car racing in the 1990s and with hopes to bring back the NASCAR Cup Series to the Nashville area. The track opened in 2001 to host Indy Racing League and the NASCAR Busch Series. However, a decade later, all major racing left the track
