Portland International Raceway.jpg

Portland International Raceway is located in Portland, Oregon's Delta Park complex on the former site of Vanport, just south of the Columbia River.

The track hosts a Champ Car race every year and ICSCC and SCCA road racing and Autocross events. The facility includes a drag strip and a motocross track.

The road course is almost perfectly flat and runs clockwise. Two track configurations are possible. One includes a hard chicane at the end of the front straight and involves twelve turns at length of 1.967 miles (3.17 km). Without the chicane, the track has nine turns an a lap length of 1.915 miles (3.08 km).

It is just west of a light rail station and less than a mile west of Interstate 5.
