Kansas Speedway is an American tri-oval race track located in the Village West area near Kansas City, Kansas. The venue was built in 2001, and currently, it hosts two annual NASCAR race weekends. Until 2011, the IndyCar Series also held races at the venue. Kansas Speedway is owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. It has a seating capacity of 48,000 with architecture designed by HNTB.

International Speedway Corporation started to explore the idea of building a racing facility in 1996 in the Midwest. In 1997, all the attention was turned towards Kansas City. The Kansas Speedway’s building had had a significant impact on the nearby area even when the construction was not finished properly. The venue includes hotels, an outdoor retail mall, and a movie theater complex. The visitors enjoy the opportunity to experience the speedway from a unique perspective, behind the wheel of a race car.

The Kansas Speedway announced in July 2011 the reconfiguration of the speedway after the 2012 STP 400. ISC revealed in its 2018 annual report that the track’s seating capacity had been reduced to 48,000. Current notable races that are held at the Kansas Speedway include Super Start Batteries 400 and Hollywood Casino 400 (NASCAR Cup Series), Kansas Lottery 300 (NASCAR Xfinity Series), Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 200 (NASCAR Camping World Truck Series), and Kansas ARCA 150 (ARCA Menards Series).
