The newly reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway promises to put on a show similar to what fans would see at a superspeedway, rather than an intermediate track.
Atlanta was last reconfigured in 1997, changing to a quad-oval format that measured 1.54 miles. Although it retains the same length, the banking of its turns have been increased from 24 degrees to 28 degrees and the track has been narrowed from 55-feet wide to 40-feet wide – all covered in fresh asphalt.
