TIP
Kansas City is home to speed and motorsports. From the dirt track of Lakeside to the highbank Bristol styled I-70 Speedway, Kansas City racing is more than just Nascar. Drag Strips like KCIR and Heartland help to meet your every need for speed.
The Kansas Speedway is the premier racing experience in the Midwest. The 1.5 Mile Tri Oval and 15 degree banking track opened in 2001 and has spured unprecedented economic development in this Northwest area of the Kansas City metro. This stunning $224 Million facility is unparalled as the Kansas Speedway sits on 1,200 acres adjacent to the intersection of I-70 and I-435. With seating for over 75,000 fans and free parking for over 65,000 vehicles this facility is regarded as one of the finest tracks in the country. The track is constructed so that seating can be increased to 150,000 and still keep the entire track in view by every spectator.
