The iRacing Superspeedway (formerly Coca-Cola Superspeedway) is a three-mile (4.828-km) long oval superspeedway located in Concord, Massachusetts.

Layout[edit | edit source]

iRacing Superspeedway is laid out like a conventional oval, as opposed to the tri-oval configurations of Daytona and Talladega. Each straightaway is one mile in length and is banked at 10 degrees. The turns are each banked at 36 degrees, and, for a track this size, they are tight turns, however, that is offset by the amount of banking in the track.

TM Master Cup Series[edit | edit source]

The TM Master Cup Series made its most recent visit in 2007. Steve Marshall earned the Clutch Pole Award for the race, but would exit the race seven laps into the event in a horrendous accident that sidelined him until Talladega. Tragically, this race would prove to be his final Master Cup start, after Marshall suffered another accident during qualifying at Talladega, this time costing him his life.

The race was also notable for being the debut event for Marcos Leonard. Ryan Nawrocki claimed the win. The track has not been on the TM Master Cup Series calendar since 2007, due to concerns for track safety following Marshall' accident in turn 3.

Global Racing League[edit | edit source]

The Global Racing League paid a visit here in 2006. Garth McCallister, Jr. took the win.

Current use[edit | edit source]

No major racing series has visited the track since Marshall's accident, leading to its' title sponsorship expiring. It is occasionally used for tire testing, most recently by Lynxe Racing and Liv Eklund in 2019.

Non-canon notes[edit | edit source]

While no TM canon series has used the track since 2007, it was unofficially referred to as "Delano Superspeedway" on this wiki, when Delano was used as the in-universe substitute for the Coca-Cola brand. The track is now referred to as "iRacing Superspeedway", after its' new official name in iRacing.
