June 14, 2008 was opening night on the new 3/8 mile track. After the 2008 season they reconfigured the racing surface and the speeds have been slower. Since the reconfiguration the quickest times have been:
Non wing - 13.583 seconds / 99.39 mph (Nic Faas 7/10/09 USAC)
Wing - 11.947 seconds / 113.00 mph (Jason Sides 6/5/09)
Non wing sprints and wing sprints have only qualified 7 times each on the 3/8 mile track (including two times each prior to the reconfiguration).
Something to keep in mind when viewing the above numbers.
1) Those lap times are only from qualifying.
2) Those are AVERAGE speeds based on the entire lap. The top end speed would be much higher.
