Race tracks are specially designed surfaces where various types of races take place, including car racing, horse racing, and cycling. These tracks can be made of asphalt, dirt, or turf, depending on the sport. They are often oval or circular in shape, allowing for high-speed competition and strategic maneuvering. In addition to the racing surface, race tracks typically feature grandstands for spectators, pit areas for teams, and facilities for timing and scoring. Popular examples of race tracks include the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for car racing and Churchill Downs for horse racing, each hosting significant events throughout the year.
