In addition to the two mile high 22 degree banked oval, TWS is designed for the road racer with a 1.5 mile oval, a 1.8 mile road course, a 1.9 mile high speed road course and a 2.9 mile course. All of these tracks use the same straightaway in front of the grandstands and can be ran counter or clockwise. TWS has a rich history, including being known as "The World's Fastest Speedway"; when Mario Andretti set a world closed course speed record of 214.158 mph on October 6, 1973 while qualifying for an Indy car race. That record stood in the Guinness Book of World Records for twelve years. Also, A. J. Foyt has won more races at TWS than any other driver.
