Der Texas World Speedway war eine Ovalstrecke in College Station, Texas. Sie ist zwei Meilen lang und wird oft als Zwillingsstrecke des Michigan International Speedway genannt, da sie die identische Form und Länge besitzt und im gleichen Zeitraum errichtet worden ist. Im Gegensatz zum Michigan Speedway ist der Texas World Speedway aber seit den 1980er Jahren nicht mehr Teil einer großen Rennserie wie der NASCAR oder der IndyCar Series. Der Grund dafür war eine zunehmende Vernachlässigung des Streckenzustandes. rdf:langString
Texas World Speedway (TWS) was a motorsport venue located in College Station, Texas.The track was one of only eight superspeedways of two miles (3.2 km) or greater in the United States used for racing, the others being Indianapolis, Daytona, Pocono, Talladega, Ontario (California), Auto Club, and Michigan (there are several tracks of similar size used for vehicle testing). The track was located on approximately 600 acres (2.4 km²) on State Highway 6 in College Station, Texas. There was a 2-mile (3 km) 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 backst rdf:langString

Der Grund dafür war eine zunehmende Vernachlässigung des Streckenzustandes. Seit 2006 wird dieser Superspeedway zunehmend wichtiger als Teststrecke, da die NASCAR-Regularien während der Saison Testfahrten auf Rennstrecken verbieten, die Teil des aktuellen Saison-Kalenders sind. Im Januar 2009 wurde während einer solchen Testfahrt von Greg Biffle der aktuell gültige Streckenrekord mit einem Rundendurchschnitt von 218 mph (351 km/h) aufgestellt. Im Jahr 2015 stellte die Strecke ihren Betrieb als Teststrecke ein. Der Abriss der Strecke ist für Anfang 2016 geplant. Es sollen an ihrer Stelle neue Häuser entstehen.

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, Corinthian Vintage Auto Racing, CMRA, 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.
