Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway events calendar

Pittsburgh's motor speedway is officially called Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway. The speedway was opened in 1979 after the original speedway in Scott Township was closed down. Today, the track is owned and operated by Miley Motorsports. It features a .625 semi-banked oval track with a clay surface, and the stadium's bleacher-style grandstand can seat up to 10,000 fans.
