REPAVE?????? It will take away what makes Daytona... Handling (Lack of makes it exciting!!!!!) Did ya see JR all over the place.... Look at Dega after they "Repaved"!!!!!! Only for a couple of years. As Junior said, after a few years, the sand under the asphalt will settle and the bumps will be back. He also pointed out that, after they repaved Talledega, the racing got better. Of course, that's a matter of opinion. The point is, having the track come apart like it did is dangerous. 200 mph is dangerous enough as it is. Having the track come apart while doing 200 mph is way beyond any " normal " risk involved. It's not like Martinsville having a pothole. They are only doing 80 or so in the corners there.

Yes I agree...Its just that Daytona has been a "Handling" track which is what I think makes the racing there more exciting than other super-speedways... Cali next week which is a fast flat track and a good race too!!!

Cali next week which is a fast flat track and a good race too!!! It may not wind up being a " handling " track to the point it is now. At least not for a couple of years. But...it will still be a handling track in the fact that they are STILL going to be doing a little better than 200 mph going into some relatively sharp ( for a superspeedway ) turns. To the poster who said they may repave that one section....if they did that, they would have to be VERY careful to make sure the transition area between the old part and the new would be smooth. A bad transition area would be even more dangerous than the pothole.

Mark martin on top off the speed chart!!! RCR has all three in the top 10 after the 1st practice....Looks like they got there sh,, together this year after good runs at Daytona and Harvick one of the best cars there....
