Darlington could get new track surface
Quote selected text Published March 20th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Subject to the approval of its board of directors, Darlington Raceway could join the growing list of speedways with new racing surfaces this year.
“It’s something we’re considering,” said Darlington president Chris Browning, “but it’s not a done deal yet.”
Browning said officials at Darlington consulted with drivers and representatives of Goodyear during tire tests with the Car of Tomorrow at Darlington earlier this week to get a feel for differences between the handling of the COT and the current car and how that might impact the resurfacing of the track.
Board approval for the project could come as early as a month from now, Browning said. The year between the May 12 Nextel Cup race at Darlington and the 2008 event would provide ample time to complete the resurfacing.
