Nazareth Speedway
Located in Pennsylvania's beautiful Lehigh Valley, just 1 1/2 hours north of Philadelphia and west of New York City, Nazareth Speedway has witnessed the remarkable success of the local Andretti family and benefited from Roger Penske turning a dormant track into a world-class motorsports facility.
From the midget cars of the 1920s to today's Indy cars that lap the track at close to 200 mph, Nazareth's unique shape has inspired some of the fastest racing in the world. Guests visiting Nazareth will experience great racing action from comfortable grandstands with excellent viewing. The amazing racing that can only be experienced at Nazareth Speedway has earned it the right to be called "The World's Fastest Mile!"
For a small town, Nazareth boasts a long and unique motorsports history, one that rivals the big-city names in racing. Since the second decade of this century, Nazareth was home to two different dirt tracks, one of which was a half-mile dirt track built on property adjacent to the modern Nazareth Speedway. That track staged various forms of racing off and on until the late 1980's. Today, Nazareth Speedway is a one-mile tri-oval that was formally a 1-1/8 mile, D-shaped, semi-banked, dirt track known as Nazareth National Speedway.
