The Atlanta Motor Speedway was last paved in 1997 and the track surface was severely worn and the paving seams were starting to cause large failures prior to events and even during events," Steve Swift, senior vice president of operations and development at Atlanta Motor Speedway says. "The surface was beginning to fail at the paving seams causing large delaminated sections to pull out because of sever wear of the paving seams and water infiltration. We knew it was time for a repave."
In total, about 17,000 tons of material was used to bring the all-new Atlanta Motor Speedway to life. The ODL at 2-in., 1.5-in. leveling course and 2-in. surface mix for a total of 5.5-in. It was a race to the finish to make sure the work was done on time.
