World Wide Technology Raceway is a massive complex of concrete, steel and asphalt. But at one time it was swampland. The track’s first incarnation was as a 1/8th mile drag strip that opened in 1967. In April 2019, World Wide Technology acquired naming rights for the track. It would be another two years before the track secured its first NASCAR Cup Series race — the Enjoy Illinois 300 set for Sunday, June 5.
This is a 1.25 mile oval.
Pick your favorite five for this unknown track.

With less corner banking, the cars might slide up more easily, thus making more wall-banging...maybe. Time will tell shortly.
