About Kentucky Speedway:

Opening in 2000, this is a 1.5 mile tri-oval speedway that has hosted NASCAR and IndyCar Racing. It is an asphalt-racing surface and the speedway is on 1,000 acres.

Track tours are available year-round for $7 for adults, but the website indicates that full-facility tours do not occur on weeks of events. To schedule a tour, call 859-567-3517.
