Slinger, WI, USA

Description

Known as the "World's Fastest Quarter Mile Oval," Slinger, Wisconsin's Slinger Speedway is the quintessential bullring short track. Opened in 1948, its defining characteristic is its high-banked corners, which reach an imposing 33 degrees on each end. That steep banking allows racers to post blazing fast laps, including Jeff Bloom's 9.908-second time in 2010-the first quarter-mile oval lap record in history to break the 10-second barrier.

Formerly a flat, clay track, Slinger was reconfigured for the 1974 season into its current paved and high-banked state. Its most famous race each year is the Slinger Nationals, a 200-lap Super Late Model race that has been won by some of the biggest names in short track racing and NASCAR alike; former Cup Series champion Matt Kenseth holds the record with eight wins between 1994 and 2019. Slinger also has a paved X running through its center to host Figure 8 events.
