Good God a 10min patch job is taking an hr: Daytona 500
Good God a 10min patch job is taking an hr: Daytona 500
Was shoock that they said the place hasn't been repaved since 1978. Bunch of cheap skates there if you ask me. Nascar should demand a new track surface every 5-10 years or lose the race. Which is more then reasonable for the damage n abuse they take, which is way worse then the average highway. TLC has OCC on if your board. |

I'll bet the track is paved before next years 500. This has to be pretty embarrassing for the speedway.

Roush Fenway Racing driver Carl Edwards said making the tracks smoother takes away some of racing's fun. "The rougher the better," Edwards said. "When you're out there sliding around and moving, it makes it harder. If the track is like Talladega ... it wouldn't be nearly as fun. I think repaving Darlington was the most frustrating thing they've done." Quote:

They used to be unbeatable with their restrictor plate engines, and of course, having 'The Intimidator' behind the wheel was a HUGE factor. (Racing hasn't been the same for me since '01 :() |

You dare say that Nascar would put personal profits ahead of what good for the sport? Like the NHRA who slows down the cars rather then build new track that can deal with modern speeds so old as dirt 10ft longer then a 1/4mile tracks still get paid? I don't believe it. |

With all the time wasted, a local company could of brought in some hot patch, like they do one roads. It sticks very well. though can be soft for heavy loads.
I was hoping the hotpach job done to fill the pot hole down the road would of popped out this winter but nadda so far. But the idiots filled the hole the day before garbage day, and the truck stopped with it rear wheels right on that patch, so insted of a no big deal shallow hole, you get a severs double hump bump you avoid at all cost. |
