Atlanta Motor Speedway will be the site of this weekend's Folds of Honor 500. The speedway has been redesigned to enhance the race track's performance for drivers.
FILE-A view of the fresh asphalt on the frontstretch during the NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear Tire Testing at the revamped Atlanta Motor Speedway on January 6, 2022 in Hampton, Georgia. has been thoroughly redesigned since last July with a new layout designed to improve the racing at the 1.54-mile oval.
The entire surface was torn up for the first time since 1997 and a new one laid down with a modified profile that includes steeper banking and changes to its width. There's also a wider runoff area on the front stretch for safety and a repositioned SAFER barrier and catch fence on the final turn. "It’s not going to be Daytona or Talladega, but are they going to be grouped together? How are you going to build your car? All of those things are going to be a question mark, and I have no clue what I’m getting into."
