The track was one of only eight superspeedways of 2.000 mi or greater in the United States used for racing, the others being Indianapolis, Daytona, Pocono, Talladega, Ontario, Auto Club, and Michigan. The track was located on approximately 600 acres on State Highway 6 in College Station, Texas. There was a 2.000 mi oval, and several road course configurations. The full oval configuration was closely related to that of Michigan and was often considered the latter's sister track, featuring steeper banking, at 22 degrees in the turns, 12 degrees at the start/finish line, and only 2 degrees along the backstretch, compared to Michigan's respective 18, 12, and 5 degrees. The last major race occurred at the track in 1981. The track was used by amateur racing clubs such as the SCCA, NASA, Porsche Club of America, World Racing League, Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing, CMRA, various performance driving schools and car clubs, as well as hosting music concerts and other events. The speedway was also a race track location for the video game, Need for Speed: Pro Street.
