tri-oval
Three-curved track layout
A tri-oval is a racetrack shape that modifies the traditional oval by adding a distinctive bend or kink along one straightaway, creating three curved sections instead of two.
Common in NASCAR and other motorsports, the design improves sightlines for spectators and affects racing dynamics: Daytona International Speedway features a famous tri-oval configuration.
