Back in the fifties, the small town of Lewistown, Montana, decided to build a raceway on what used to be a part of its municipal airport. But they used a very straightforward approach: placing three corners and three straights to form the triangle-shaped Lewistown Drag Racing complex we see today, located near the geographic center of the Treasure State. This particular part of Montana receives heavy snowfalls during winter, but the climate is perfect for racing in the remaining seasons. As its name suggests, the Lewistown Drag Racing complex is predominantly a venue for drag racing, but it also hosts some local road racing competitions.  

The total length of the triangle-shaped road course is 1.9 miles (3.05 km). Its average speed is 67 mph (107 km/h), reaching 140 mph (225 km/h) near the triangle's vertexes. The apparent simplicity of the Lewistown Raceway layout hides several features such as slight kinks in the longest straightaway that cause troubles for those drivers not familiar with the track. It demands the full attention from racers as any small mistake can get you out of track in several sections.
