High Plains Raceway
High Plains Raceway (HPR) is the newest racetrack in Colorado, built in 2008. https://www.highplainsraceway.com/about-us/the-history-of-hpr/ has the excellent and in-depth story of how HPR came to be, and is well worth a read.
HPR has several large, high-resolution track maps on their website at https://www.highplainsraceway.com/track-info/. The most common configuration that is used is the Full Course, but HPR offers 3 others as well (all clockwise):
