For those of you who like bigger tracks that are similar to a lot of other tracks, you’ll like iRacing’s latest addition — Kansas Speedway. Kansas Speedway was recently revamped (in 2012), making it one of the most modern racing facilities in the country.
Kansas Speedway was first opened in 2001 near Kansas City, Kansas. The original configuration was a 1.5 mile cookie cutter track with fifteen degree banking. The 2012 renovation resulted in a new cookie cutter track with progressive seventeen to twenty degree banking and the addition of a road coarse which also incorporated almost all of the oval.
Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel & Pedals
This serves as a no-nonsense entry into realistic driving. Dual-motor force feedback delivers honest steering weight and road detail, while the sturdy floor pedals offer progressive braking and smooth throttle. Stainless steel paddle shifters, a leather-wrapped rim, and a full 900-degree rotation create a setup that earns its spot on your rig without needless extras. It works cleanly with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

I’m not a big fan of the NASCAR cookie cutter tracks. When I say cookie cutter tracks, I’m referring to tracks that are of the 1.5 to 2 mile tri-oval/quad-oval/D-oval configuration. NASCAR has added so many of these tracks in the last few years, and, in my opinion, they are boring tracks on which there is very little good racing. Current NASCAR cookie cutter tracks:
Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0
Master your laps without dominating the room. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 stands rock-solid for direct-drive wheels, yet folds away in seconds when real life calls. Full adjustability for wheel, pedals, and shifter lets a man settle into his proper position the honest way. A clever chair cradle keeps your seat planted under hard braking, while predrilled mounts welcome Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Logitech, and the rest. Upgrade later to a full cockpit with the GTSeat add-on. Serious performance, sensible footprint—no compromises required.

I haven’t watched any of the NASCAR racing on any of these tracks in many years, so maybe things have improved but somehow I doubt it.
So there you have it — if you’re an iRacer and you like these types of tracks you’ll be happy to know that iRacing has added Kansas Speedway. We short track guys are hoping for a new short track on the horizon.
