Spaces for races refers to the oval-shaped tracks used for auto racing. The term is derived from the fact that these tracks are usually large, open spaces that are used for racing. Ovals are the most common type of track used in auto racing, and they are characterized by their circular or oval shape. They typically have two straightaways and two turns, which allow for high speeds and tight turns. Ovals are also known for their high banking, which allows for greater cornering speeds.
