Langhorne SpeedwayThe Big Left--Langhorne was famous for being a nearly-perfect circle, thus requiring a car to constantly turn left.
The Track That Ate Heroes--Langhorne was infamous for the number of fatalities it had in the early days of racing.
Ontario Speedway:  The Big "O"--in addition to the obvious, the track (a near-replica of Indianapolis) was shaped like a capital "O".

Walt Disney World SpeedwayThe Mickyard--the track was built by the owners of "The Brickyard", Indianapolis.  Mickey Mouse is the world-famous mascot of the Disney corporation.
