Formerly known as the (Bass Pro Shops

held at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the other being the

Atlanta Motor Speedway, a 1.54-mile quad-oval track,
is one of the premier motor sports facilities in the
country. Built in 1960, Atlanta Motor Speedway is
nestled on 870 acres located just 30 minutes south
of Atlanta. Since the 1997 renovation of the track,
Atlanta Motor Speedway has become the fastest and
one of the most competitive tracks on the Sprint Cup
circuit. Qualifying speeds at the track have
exceeded 190 miles per hour in recent years, and the
races themselves invariably feature more than thirty
lead changes, almost double the average for a Sprint
Cup race.
The speedway hosts two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup
races per year, the two largest single-day sporting
events each year in the state of Georgia. Even with
just these two weekend of racing, Atlanta Motor
Speedway is the main contributor to the local sports
economy, bringing in more than $455 million annually
to Atlanta.
