Road course racing has become one of the most exciting elements in modern NASCAR—and COTA sits at the center of that evolution.

Unlike traditional oval racing, road courses challenge drivers with elevation changes, tight corners, heavy braking zones, and constant strategy decisions. Fans love the unpredictability, frequent passing opportunities, and the way different driving styles shine.

At COTA, fans can watch drivers navigate technical sections while also battling at high speeds—often within view of multiple corners at once. This variety keeps longtime NASCAR fans engaged and helps attract new audiences who may be experiencing the sport for the first time. 

As NASCAR continues to expand its road course presence, COTA remains one of the most visually striking and competitive stops on the schedule.
