Im from massachusetts and we were excited to get a nascar date for Loudon but not at the expense of this track.Im sure a date could have been added if they tried.I knew this was the short sightedness of Nascar by alienating us true short track racing enthusiasts.We had and have had all nearby Riverside park,stafford and thompson which kinda reminded me of this place a little.high banked 5/8 mile with two grooves.love watching the mods here.so glad they brought this track back to glory!
I'm not understanding why there are so many machines that hop (convey) the asphalt from the Dump-truck to the actual Paving machine. Can someone explain to me why the Dump-truck can't just back-up to the Paving machine?
Good question; Because they're paving 2 lanes at once side-by-side and have the extra machines feeding new asphalt across and over the inside line to the machines on the outside lane. This process is called eschelon paving and bonds the two lanes together with a hot joint that won't separate later in the life of the surface and end up needing that messing seam filler you see on old tracks. It's explained in this other video - the link starts with at the point where he explains it but there's a lot more in the whole video - ua-cam.com/video/qR_ucVdVvnU/v-deo.htmlsi=PzUjehUD105o60s6&t=625

And Dave moody has said for the last 10yrs that this track would never return

I would really like to see how they relate Daytona or Tellegaga.
Hopefully it improves things.
Rockingham next 🎉🎉
Rockingham got repaved last year
Going to be interesting.
👍😀
Nice
What a dumb thing to do BECAUSE ALL OF THEM OTHER'S OLD DRIVERS BACK IN THE 1960 1970,1980
It's going to be a one groove race track now, only bump and run, like dale ser like it
At 1:25 look at the guy's underarm sweat😮must be pretty hot?
It was a warm day and he had bee out by the hot asphalt machines. He also may be the hardest working SVP at Speedway Motorsports.
Dale Jr. Ain't going to like this
It was his idea 😂
@@piedmontrf81 My Bad.
Thought he wanted to keep it old school. Maybe just for the first race
They need to make the track wider.
