Did You Notice?: Communication Between NASCAR Drivers, Executives at Crossroads
Did You Notice? … NASCAR drama between drivers and executives has been building at a breakneck pace? It all started with last week’s Atlanta Motor Speedway repave announcement from Speedway Motorsports, Inc. President Marcus Smith. After 24 years under the current configuration, the track will be getting a facelift with both fresh asphalt and an altered layout. The track will be narrowed by 15 feet while the banking in the turns gets adjusted from 24 to 28 degrees.
In some ways, the details are irrelevant to the driving corps. Their reaction was fierce, revolving around a central theme:
