Texas Motor Speedway Partner with Panasonic to Create World’s Largest HD Video Board

Texas Motor Speedway will be home of the world’s largest high-definition video board at a sporting venue after a partnership was agreed with Panasonic.

From 2014 the 218 foot long, generic 108 ton “Big Hoss” video board will feature at the venue, debuting at the April 3-6 Texas 500 NASCAR Doubleheader.

Located in the centre of the backstretch, the video board will display 20,633.64 square feet of HD display and will stand nearly 125 feet above ground level.

“We are extremely proud to have the world’s largest video board coming to Texas Motor Speedway as well as now having the top two largest in the world at our facilities,” Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Bruton Smith said.

“This continues to show our company’s commitment to our great race fans and our efforts to remain at the forefront of our industry. (Texas Motor Speedway President) Eddie (Gossage) always tells me everything is bigger in Texas, so I wanted to make this video board fit his motto.”

During race weekends, the video board will feature live race coverage, leaderboard information, driver and race statistics, instant replays, interactive entertainment and more.

Texas already boasts seven of the world’s 50 largest HD video boards and the new design will be 79% larger than the video board at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our LED solutions and are pleased to partner with Texas Motor Speedway to provide this record-breaking video display that’s a perfect fit to an already spectacular speedway,” said Richard Ballard, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Panasonic Eco Solutions North America.

“We all know that things are always bigger in Texas, and Texas racing fans should get ready for an experience of a lifetime as their senses will be heightened by the amazing graphics and content that the board will provide.”
