Daytona Beach, FL · 2.5 miles · Superspeedway (tri-oval)
Signature Race: Daytona 500
Daytona International Speedway is the home of the Daytona 500, the most prestigious race in NASCAR. The 2.5-mile tri-oval superspeedway features high-banked turns that produce pack racing, dramatic drafting battles, and some of the most memorable finishes in motorsports history. Every February, the racing world turns its eyes to Daytona Beach for the Great American Race.
With three stages in every Daytona race, squares pools give you three shots at winning. The leading car number after each stage determines the digits, and because superspeedway racing is so unpredictable, anyone's square can hit at any time. The pack racing and last-lap shuffles at Daytona make it one of the most exciting tracks for squares.
Lincoln, AL · 2.66 miles · Superspeedway (tri-oval)
Signature Race: GEICO 500 / YellaWood 500
Talladega Superspeedway is the longest oval track in NASCAR at 2.66 miles. Known for its massive pack racing, "The Big One" wrecks, and photo-finish endings, Talladega is the track where anything can happen. The steep 33-degree banking in the turns keeps speeds dangerously high and the racing impossibly close. If you want chaos and drama, Talladega delivers every single time.
Talladega is the ultimate squares track. The wild finishes and constant lead changes mean the digits on the board can flip completely on the last lap. Three stages give everyone three chances to win, and the unpredictable nature of superspeedway racing means no square is ever out of contention. Setting up a squares pool for Talladega adds a layer of pure random luck that perfectly matches the chaos on the track.
Indianapolis, IN · 2.5 miles · Oval (rectangular)
Signature Race: Indianapolis 500
Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the most famous racetrack on the planet. The 2.5-mile rectangular oval hosts the Indianapolis 500, the single largest one-day sporting event in the world. Since 1911, the Brickyard has been the proving ground for the greatest drivers in history. The tradition, the pageantry, and the sheer speed of the Indy 500 make it an experience unlike anything else in motorsports.
The Indy 500's 200 laps and multiple checkpoint stages make it perfect for squares. Car number digits shift throughout the race as pit strategies, yellow flags, and restarts shuffle the order. The longer race means more drama and more opportunities for your numbers to line up. Whether you're an IndyCar diehard or just tuning in for the spectacle, a squares pool turns every lap into a reason to cheer.
Concord, NC · 1.5 miles · Quad-oval (intermediate)
Signature Race: Coca-Cola 600
Charlotte Motor Speedway hosts the Coca-Cola 600, the longest race on the NASCAR calendar at 600 miles. The 1.5-mile quad-oval in Concord, North Carolina, starts in daylight and finishes under the lights on Memorial Day weekend. The grueling distance tests equipment and stamina, and the changing track conditions as the sun sets create one of the most unique challenges in all of racing.
The Coca-Cola 600's marathon distance and three stages mean the leaderboard shifts constantly. Tire wear, fuel strategy, and the transition from day to night racing create wild swings in position that keep your squares pool alive from green flag to checkered flag. The sheer length of the race means more lead changes, more surprises, and more chances for every square on the board to hit.
Hampton, GA · 1.54 miles · Quad-oval (superspeedway-style)
Signature Race: Quaker State 400
Atlanta Motor Speedway was reconfigured in 2022 with steeper banking that turned the 1.54-mile quad-oval into a superspeedway-style track. Side-by-side drafting, big runs, and wild finishes now rival what you see at Daytona and Talladega.
Pack racing means the leader can change on every lap. One big run in the final laps can shuffle the entire field and flip the digits on your board.
Las Vegas, NV · 1.5 miles · Tri-oval (intermediate)
Signature Race: Pennzoil 400
Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a 1.5-mile tri-oval just north of the Strip. Wide corners and progressive banking give drivers multiple grooves to work with. Strategy and tire management decide races here.
Long green-flag runs mean pit strategy reshuffles the running order. Fuel gambles, two-tire calls, and late restarts keep the car numbers at the front changing across all three stages.
Avondale, AZ · 1.0 mile · Tri-oval (short/intermediate)
Signature Race: NASCAR Championship Race
Phoenix Raceway is a one-mile tri-oval in Avondale, Arizona. It hosts the NASCAR Cup Series season finale. The asymmetric layout with different banking in each turn rewards precision. Since 2020, the championship has been decided under the desert lights here.
Short-track style racing at Phoenix means frequent restarts and lead changes across all three stages. Cautions shuffle the running order constantly, so the digits on your board stay in play.
Austin, TX · 3.41 miles · Road course
Signature Race: EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix
Circuit of the Americas is a 3.41-mile road course in Austin, Texas, built for Formula 1. Twenty turns, big elevation changes, and the signature Turn 1 hill test stock cars in ways ovals can't. A completely different style of NASCAR racing.
Road-course racing is chaotic for stock cars. Missed braking zones, off-track excursions, and fuel-window gambles shuffle the running order constantly. Unusual car numbers end up leading at stage breaks.
Ridgeway, VA · 0.526 miles · Short track (paperclip oval)
Signature Race: STP 500
Martinsville Speedway is NASCAR's shortest track and one of its oldest, running since 1949. The 0.526-mile paperclip oval has flat corners, heavy braking zones, and bumper-to-bumper action. Winners take home a grandfather clock trophy.
Constant contact and frequent cautions mean the running order changes every few laps. The stop-and-go racing puts unexpected leaders at the front at stage breaks.
Richmond, VA · 0.75 miles · Short track (D-shaped oval)
Signature Race: Toyota Owners 400
Richmond Raceway is a 0.75-mile D-shaped oval that mixes short-track aggression with intermediate speeds. Saturday night under the lights, the racing is tight. The shape rewards drivers who work traffic and manage tire wear.
Pit strategy matters at Richmond, so the leader at each stage break is often a surprise. Night racing and tight quarters keep the field shuffling.
Bristol, TN · 0.533 miles · Short track (concrete oval)
Signature Race: Food City 500 / Bass Pro Shops Night Race
Bristol Motor Speedway is a 0.533-mile all-concrete bullring in northeast Tennessee. Steep 24-30 degree banking and 160,000 seats tower over the half-mile oval. Bumper-to-bumper racing and short tempers are the norm.
Bristol is a caution magnet. Every restart reshuffles the running order, and tempers boil over into on-track incidents. The night race is especially unpredictable.
Dover, DE · 1.0 mile · Concrete oval (intermediate)
Signature Race: Würth 400
Dover Motor Speedway is a 1.0-mile concrete oval known as "The Monster Mile." The 24-degree banked turns and abrasive surface eat tires and break equipment. High-speed, high-wear racing with lots of attrition.
Tire blowouts and mechanical failures reshuffle the field throughout the race. Pit strategy plays a big role, so the leader at each stage break often depends on who managed tires best.
Darlington, SC · 1.366 miles · Egg-shaped oval
Signature Race: Southern 500
Darlington Raceway is a 1.366-mile egg-shaped oval known as "The Lady in Black." Asymmetric turns with different radii make it one of NASCAR's most demanding tracks. The narrow surface punishes mistakes with the infamous "Darlington Stripe" from scraping the wall. The Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend is a crown jewel race.
The odd shape and abrasive surface cause cautions and surprise leaders. Any car number could be out front at a stage break.
Madison, IL · 1.25 miles · Oval (intermediate)
Signature Race: Enjoy Illinois 300
WWT Raceway (formerly Gateway Motorsports Park) is a 1.25-mile oval just across the Mississippi from St. Louis. The egg-shaped layout with varying banking gives drivers multiple grooves. WWT returned to the Cup schedule in 2022.
The 1.25-mile length creates a different pit-strategy window than most tracks, which leads to unexpected leaders at stage breaks. Passes happen everywhere on this surface.
Sonoma, CA · 1.99 miles · Road course
Signature Race: Toyota/Save Mart 350
Sonoma Raceway is a 1.99-mile road course in Northern California's wine country. Twelve turns and big elevation changes test stock cars differently than any oval. Fuel mileage and tire management decide races here.
Road-course races at Sonoma produce unusual leaders and surprising stage results. Fuel-window gambles, pit timing, and off-course excursions shuffle the field constantly.
Lebanon, TN · 1.33 miles · Concrete oval (intermediate)
Signature Race: Ally 400
Nashville Superspeedway is a 1.33-mile concrete oval just outside Nashville in Lebanon, Tennessee. The concrete surface wears tires faster than asphalt, and the intermediate length keeps speeds high. Nashville returned to the Cup schedule in 2021 after a long absence.
Tire wear on concrete changes the strategy game. Pit calls shake up the running order, and the leader at each stage break is often a surprise.
Chicago, IL · 2.2 miles · Street course
Signature Race: Chicago Street Race
The Chicago Street Course is a 2.2-mile temporary circuit through downtown Chicago along Lake Michigan. NASCAR's first street-course race debuted in 2023. Tight turns, concrete walls, and zero margin for error.
Street-course racing is chaos for stock cars. No runoff, unfamiliar terrain, and frequent cautions produce surprise leaders and wild strategy calls at every stage break.
Loudon, NH · 1.058 miles · Oval (short/intermediate)
Signature Race: Crayon 301
New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a 1.058-mile flat oval in Loudon, New Hampshire, known as "The Magic Mile." Low banking keeps the field bunched together. It's the only Cup Series track in New England.
Flat layout and tight racing mean close finishes and frequent position changes. Passing is difficult, so pit timing often decides who leads at each stage break.
Long Pond, PA · 2.5 miles · Triangular oval (tricky triangle)
Signature Race: Great Pocono Raceway 400
Pocono Raceway is a 2.5-mile triangular oval in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Known as "The Tricky Triangle," each of its three turns has different banking and radius. Long straightaways produce high speeds, and the flat, varied corners demand unique setups.
The triangular shape and long straightaways lead to fuel-mileage gambles and bold pit strategies. The leader at each stage break often depends on who played strategy best, not just who has the fastest car.
