There are other configurations to this track, I think 3 in total.
Seems the configuration that Nascar will be using is the one with the most corners. That's the one seen in 4me's posted picture.

Go Go Chase Elliott !!!
Road course King !

Kyle B wins the first ever Nascar Xfinity event at Circuit of the Americas in the Saturday's Xfinity race.
There were a few spins but no major wrecks.
I thought AJ or Cendric might have taken the win as they were up front all day, but Kyle B was having none of it

The Trucks raced at this track on Friday with Todd Gilliland taking the win.

Quals in progress under gray skies, I think they are qualifying with slicks..
