Dirt track racing is the single most common form of auto racing in the United States. There are over 1900 racetracks in the United States and Canada.
On many tracks you will find clay is used with a specific mixture of dirt. Tracks are sometimes banked in the turns for a smoother ride around the track. However, some tracks prefer less banked turns because it suits the drivers who participate at their venue weekly. Each track surface will most often be different in one way or another.
