Track History
The speedway sits on a 568-acre site that once hosted the first steel mill located west of the Rocky Mountains, Kaiser Steel Mill. The mill produced the steel that helped build the Liberty ships used by the Allies to win World War II. Penske Motorsports Inc. purchased the land and completed the track in 1997.moreRemember To Check Out
