World Wide Technology Raceway, located just outside St. Louis, Missouri, in the Metro East city of Madison, Illinois, is an intriguing 1.25-mile (2.01 km) oval favored by many of the drivers who race there due to its unique shape and varying degrees of banking in each corner. Turns 1 & 2 have characteristics similar to those of New Hampshire Motor Speedway, while Turns 3 & 4 are similar to those of Phoenix Raceway. The track's egg shape is reminiscent of the oval at Twin Ring Motegi.
