STP 400 Preview
In 2001, NASCAR and Indy Racing League
announced that they would bring events to the
Kansas Speedway for its inaugural racing
season. Kansas Speedway is a 1 1/2-mile
track, stste-of-the-art facility, which was a response to the
growing interest for motorsports in the Midwest. The
speedway is strategically located at the intersection of 1-
435 and 1-70 in Kansas City, Kan., about 15 miles west of
downtown Kansas City. It seats nearly 82,000 spectators
in the grandstands, but will eventually expand to 150,000
upon completion of its final phase. On a NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series race weekend, the Kansas Speedway
becomes the fourth-largest city in the state of Kansas.
