Race twelve of fifteen is held here, at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta. This fast one point five-mile tri oval has paid host to the Indy Racing League since 2000. This is a high speed, high-banked track, and the cars run the low downforce speedway wing configuration, but the track is narrow, especially in the corners, where there is generally only one effective groove. Try not to get too high in the corners here, and be prepared for some very tight, close packed racing. With four races including this one left in the season, you are now entering a critical phase in the championship, every point you earn here, and in subsequent races are going to directly affect your chances of a good finishing place in the championship. Set your targets and drive to the best of your ability.
