List of American Championship Car racetracks

This is a list of tracks which have hosted a national Championship Car race event. From 1905 until 1955, the AAA organized the national championship. In 1956, the USAC took over this role. In 1979, several teams split off from USAC and founded CART. Between 1979 and 1983, both championships were contested in parallel—partly on the same racetracks, and occasionally even through joint events.

In 1996, the organizers of the Indianapolis 500 broke away from CART and founded the Indy Racing League, which continues today under the name IndyCar Series. Between 1996 and 2003, CART and the IRL shared several racetracks in parallel, while also holding many of their own separate events. In 2003, CART was dissolved and replaced by the Champ Car World Series, which in turn was absorbed into the IndyCar Series in 2008.

This list encompasses all race tracks where races sanctioned by these bodies have been held, covering the period from 1905 to the present day.

Various forms of race track have been used throughout the history of IndyCar, including purpose‑built facilities such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, hill climb courses such as the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and temporary circuits such as the Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport.^[1]

Actual IndyCar series race tracks

Regular closed course race tracks

The following tables list all of the tracks previously used by USAC, CART or IndyCar at least two times. The categorization based on contemporary use by championship car series, not on modern technical comparability. Oval tracks are classified according to definitions common in North America, which are also used in the IndyCar environment. A distinction is made between short ovals, so-called intermediate ovals, and superspeedways. The IndyCar Series itself makes a fundamental distinction only between short ovals, superspeedways, permanent road courses and temporary street circuits.^[2] A new row is added only when the track length, surface type, or fundamental layout (including number of corners, position of start/finish line, or pit lane configuration) changed. Minor modifications such as revised run-off areas or kerb adjustments are not reflected, as contemporary sources do not provide sufficient data to distinguish such changes reliably.

Key to tables

Track: Name of the track. Either the current name of the track (as it exists today) or the last known name of the track is shown.
Type and Length: Approximate course length (in miles), shape, and surface type. For course length, the last known measurement provided by Indycar is shown. Note that this figure may differ in various sources depending on the method that Indycar or other sanctioning bodies have used to measure the track.
Location: The state (or province, for Canadian tracks) and city (or nearest city) where each track is located.
Season(s): Seasons in which the track hosted an event.
Notes: Any additional information or clarification that may be useful. This includes details on the track's current status, or whether the track saw further use in other series.
Permanently closed or demolished tracks are marked with grey background.

Intermediate ovals

Note: The term intermediate oval is primarily used in NASCAR terminology. In IndyCar usage, such tracks are generally referred to as speedways or simply ovals. The classification is used to improve clarity and to allow comparison with track lists from other racing series. Only asphalt and concrete ovals are included in this list, with dirt and board tracks covered in separate categories.

Short (mile) ovals

Note: In the IndyCar Series and its predecessor championships, oval tracks with a length of approximately one mile are typically classified as short ovals. This classification differs from that used in some other American racing series and is influenced by the fact that IndyCar and its predecessor series have historically raced less frequently on tracks shorter than one mile. Only asphalt and concrete ovals are included in this list, with dirt and board tracks covered in separate categories.
