Texas Motor Speedway is a speedway situated in the American city of Fort Worth, Texas. The reconfigured track is estimated to be 1.44 miles (2.32 km) with banked 20° in turns 1 and 2 and banked 24° in turns 3 and 4. Texas Motor Speedway is a quad-oval plan, where the front straightaway extends outward marginally. The track format is like Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. The track is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc.

The speedway has been overseen since its commencement by promoter Eddie Gossage.
