Milwaukee

Length: 1 Mile-400/250/200/150 Laps

Type: Speedway

Events/Time: Milwaukee 400/Day (Nextel), Alan Kulwicki 250/Day (Busch), Black Cat Fireworks 200/Night (Craftsman Truck), Badger State 150/Day (Featherlite)

Strategy: This track is similar to Indianapolis but 40% smaller and more rounded. You must slow to 105 MPH in the turns to navigate properly. Straightaways allow speeds up to 150 MPH if no issues arise. Mastering turn braking is key.

Strategy (F): With special cars, you can reach 140 MPH on straightaways and maintain 125 MPH through turns.

Nazareth

Length: 1 Mile-400/200/150 Laps

Type: Speedway

Events/Time: Nazareth 400/Day (Nextel), Goulds Pumps 200/Day (Busch), Lehigh Valley 150/Day (Featherlite)

Strategy: This track is a short, extremely tight triangle. After reaching 140 MPH past the start/finish line, brake hard to 110 MPH for the first turn to avoid the outside wall. You can reach 125 MPH by the exit. The back straightaway allows a return to 140 MPH before slowing to 115 MPH for the less tight second turn. Qualifying well is essential to avoid collisions.

Strategy (F): Modified cars have better grip, allowing you to reach 140 MPH on straightaways and slow to 125 MPH for turns.

New Hampshire

Length: 1.058 Miles-300/200/100 Laps

Type: Speedway

Events/Time: New England 300/Day (Nextel), Sylvania 300/Day (Nextel), New England 200/Day (Busch), New Hampshire 200/Day (Craftsman Truck), New England 100/Day (Featherlite), New Hampshire 100/Day (Featherlite)

Strategy: This track is a larger Martinsville with tight turns. Speed up to 140 MPH on straightaways and slow to 95 MPH entering turns. The wider and longer track makes passing easier.

Strategy (F): Modified cars handle better on this looser track. Reach 145 MPH on straightaways and slow to 115 MPH for turns.

North Carolina

Strategy: This is a major tire-eating track. Slow to 130 MPH in turns and speed up to 160 MPH on straightaways.

Strategy (F): With open-wheeled cars, reach 165 MPH on straightaways and slow to 145 MPH in turns.

Phoenix

Type: Speedway

Events/Time: Checker Auto Parts 500/Day (Nextel), Bushas' Supermarket 200/Day (Busch), Chevy Silverado 150/Day (Craftsman Truck)

Strategy: This extremely narrow and oddly-shaped track makes passing difficult. Reach 150 MPH before braking to 110 MPH in the first turns. Maintain 145 MPH on the back stretch before the unusual third turn. Hug the bottom to avoid the wall and repeat turn strategies.

Strategy: Considered a challenging track by many NASCAR drivers. Turns are tight but not sharp, with wide straightaways allowing significant passing.

Strategy (F): Open-wheeled cars can reach 140 MPH on straightaways and slow to 120 MPH in turns.
