Fire on Fridays: 9 Other NASCAR Tracks That Need Repave or Reconfiguration
July 9, 2021
Speedway Motorsports Inc. got many in the NASCAR world riled up this week when it announced July 6 its plans to repave and reconfigure Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Essentially, the longtime stay on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule is getting more banking while its width is getting narrower in an attempt to get tighter racing at the intermediate track.

Crew chief Cliff Daniels and driver Kyle Larson have a 19-race scorecard of 11 top-5 finishes, including four victories, plus five runner-up finishes, a fourth, and a fifth.
Daniels spent time between 1999 and 2005 racing on a semi-regular basis at Southside in Richmond, Langley in Hampton (Va.), and at Charlotte. He harbored a passion for driving, but reality and not enough funding ended that career path.
Beside the Rising Tide: Setting the Record Straight
Something unusual happened in these parts Saturday afternoon (June 26): NASCAR held a race and Kyle Larson did not win. Officially, Larson was going for his fourth consecutive NASCAR Cup Series win.

In addition to his wins at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Sonoma Raceway and Nashville Superspeedway, you may recall he won this year’s All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway. Prior to the start of Larson’s noted streak of wins, he had finished second in three straight races: Darlington Raceway, Dover International Speedway and Circuit of the Americas.
