What is tri oval?

Tri-oval is a type of oval-shaped track commonly used in motor racing, particularly in the United States. The track has three distinct sections, with two straightaways and one long sweeping turn, which gives the track its name. The turns on a tri-oval track are usually banked to help drivers maintain their speed, which is useful for high-speed events such as NASCAR. They are generally smaller than traditional ovals, typically measuring between 1-2 miles in length. Popular tri-oval tracks include the Daytona International Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway, both of which host major NASCAR events. These tracks require drivers to regularly shift gears to maintain their speed through the turns, making it a challenging and exciting event for drivers and spectators alike.
