Intermediate Track

An Intermediate Track is an oval racing circuit measuring between 1.5 and 2 miles in length, falling between short tracks and superspeedways in NASCAR's track classification system.

These tracks produce higher speeds than short tracks while allowing cars to spread out more effectively during races. Drivers typically reach significant speeds on intermediate tracks, but the racing dynamics differ from both the tight quarters of short tracks and the draft-dependent racing of superspeedways.

Popular intermediate tracks include Charlotte Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Kansas Speedway. These venues make up a significant portion of the NASCAR schedule and are known for requiring a balanced setup that prioritizes both handling and speed.
