abstract
  • Walt Disney World Speedway is a racing facility located in Orlando, Florida on the grounds of the Walt Disney World resort. It was built in 1995 by IMS Events, Inc. a subsidiary of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation, primarily as a venue for the Indy 200 at Walt Disney World, an Indy Racing League event. The plans for the track were announced on January 23, 1995. It is a three-turn tri-oval, designed by Indianapolis Motor Speedway chief engineer Kevin Forbes and the location was chosen in September 1994 by Greg Ruse of Buena Vista Construction. The track is situated on a triangular plot of land adjacent to the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom park. The track was designed to fit within the boundaries of the existing infrastructure, requiring minimal rerouting of existing roads. The track officially opened in January 1996 as the first-ever event of the Indy Racing League, the Indy 200 at Walt Disney World. The event was placed on the last Saturday in January, the day before the Super Bowl. It was effectively, the first major auto race of the year in the United States. In 1997-1998, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series held races at the track the weekend before the IRL event. Support races for the two events included Formula Ford 2000 and USAC Silver Crown.
