Unfortunately, there is only one official NASCAR Speedway in Colorado. There’s one place in the entire state where you can watch the skills of talented drivers being tested, cars engineered for racing, and the waving of a checkered flag. Fortunately, Colorado National Speedway is approximately 20 minutes away from Legacy High School. Buckle up and prepare for an adventure.
