The race at ‘The Great American Speedway’, as it is sometimes called, will be an eagerly awaited homecoming for Americans Kirby Chambliss, the 2006 World Champion and native Texan born in Corpus Christi, as well as Michael Goulian from Massachusetts, who won the Budapest race in 2009. Both have struggled this year and will be hoping for a boost from the Texan crowd. It will be the first U.S. race since the stop in New York in 2010 that Bonhomme won and Chambliss took third place. The high-speed, low-altitude race through Air Gate pylons set up inside and around the 1.5-mile quad-oval track will also be an historic occasion because it will be the first time an Air Race of any kind will be held at a NASCAR track and the first time inside a stadium in the United States. The pilots and their planes will also take off and land from the infield of the track, a first in the United States, with the crowd watching all the action from the grandstands.
