• Personal protection is your responsibility.
• Be proactive. Plan in advance what you will do if severe weather approaches the track.
• Fans are encouraged to monitor the weather very closely and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.

 You can also text 69050 to receive updates.

Why are the dates of the races in 2012 changing to April and late October?
Given the harsh weather conditions in the Midwest, a repave of our existing racing surface is a must.  Rather than simply resurfacing, we decided to reconfigure the track surface to generate even more competitive racing.  More time is needed between our race weekends to ensure track improvements are completed.

What's the best way into the race track on race day?
Kansas Speedway has several routes to choose from on race day:
• From Interstate 70 - Take exit I-70 at 110th Street (exit No. 410). You'll be routed to Speedway Boulevard, where parking attendants will direct you to Talladega Drive.
• East of I-435 - Take State Avenue west to the speedway.
• From I-435 - Take Interstate 70 west to 110th Street (exit No. 410).
When traveling to the Speedway via I-435 expect delays.  Once the State Avenue exit begins to back up traffic officials will close that exit.  We recommend you travel to the Parallel Parkway exit.  Take Parallel Parkway to 110th St. and take a Left (near Target and JCPenny's).  You will then be led back to State Avenue where you will be directed to our parking lots.  For a map of this route click here.

Please Note:

Due to the volume of vehicles arriving at the Speedway on raceday, expect delays.
Please use all available lanes on State Avenue when arriving...we will direct you to the parking lots!
Entry gates on State Avenue will close from East to West when lots fill during inbound traffic.
Do not park south of Speedway Blvd...Crossing four lanes of traffic is dangerous and delays traffic flow.
If you park in the Legends shopping area you will not be able to cross State Avenue until traffic is clear.  For this reason it is reccommended that you park in our parking lots.
 

For up to date traffic information on raceday be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
