The track, located 15 minutes from downtown Kansas City, opened in 2001 and proudly boasts the Fan Walk. During this leisurely stroll through the garage area, fans enter outside Turn 1 and travel through a kaleidoscopic 450-foot tunnel full of colored lights into the infield, where they get close-up looks at the inner workings of the sport. The speedway is sunk into a bowl so that fans even on the bottom row can see the entire track. Though many tracks extend themselves to cater to the upper-class swells with ritzy suites and exclusive hospitality villages, Kansas has put an emphasis on the everyday fan.
