Do Nascar tracks have track days?

I would be interested on how fast you have had her up to?

Edit, and I don't mean a road track inside the Nascar track, I mean the big round flat out track around the outside

You should have posted in the Motorsports forum

Ive run my EVO many times at Fontana but only 1/3 of the Nascar or Indy car layout. Full main straight & turn 1 & 2

It gives you an opportunity to explore the upper MPH limits. 155mph down the straight and 130mph in Turn 1 & 2. Running the straights is not the issue at high speed, its pushing the limits in the corners that is tough, exciting & can be scary at those speeds

Atlanta motor speedway used let you do laps semi fast at the opening of the Nopi Nationals when that was a thing.

Can confirm. You just had to be in the back of the pack so you could slack off and "catch up".
