NASCAR, or the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is an organisation that hosts some of the greatest and most thrilling races spread across the United States. NASCAR holds races at 42 different tracks in the U.S. and Canada, including oval short tracks, winding road courses and superspeedways longer than 2 miles. From the huge 2.5-mile superspeedways to the little half-mile dirt tracks, each track is different and poses some unique challenges for the drivers in each event.

Some tracks are known for high speed, such as Daytona and Talladega, where drafting and close-quarter racing often lead to incredible photo finishes. Others, such as the short and aggressive Martinsville Speedway, would force them to exercise some of that technical ability with more patience. Finally, a road course like Watkins Glen and Sonoma provides the complex layout of left and right turns, in contrast to the traditional oval circuits. Even a dirt track, such as Bristol's scenario where it is covered with dirt, adds a layer of unpredictability to the series.

Every one of the race tracks has a history, from the iconic venues such as Darlington Raceway, which they simply refer to as the Track Too Tough to Tame, right through to the modern marvels like Circuit of The Americas, built for fast road racing. This mix not only enhances the approach teams use but also makes the experiences for fans continually changing throughout the NASCAR calendar. Whether it is speed, technical challenge, or a great heritage, every circuit is important in making NASCAR one of the most popular motorsport series in the world.
