Texas Motor Speedway

Known as "The Great American Speedway," the Texas Motor Speedway is our massive venue for Something Wonderful 2017. Located just 20 miles north of downtown Dallas, the 1.5-mile speedway is America's second-largest sports and entertainment facility, making it the perfect location to host our larger-than-life springtime event.

Open since '96, the 1.5-mile track commonly showcases one of the most popular sports in the nation -- NASCAR. Many records have been set here, in fact, Dale Earnhardt Jr. earned his first Cup at the Texas Motor Speedway back in 2000. Clocking in as America's second-largest sports and entertainment facility, racing isn't the only thing you can experience at the Speedway.
