Since the opening of the Daytona Speedway in 1959 the track has only been repaved once in 1978 and at that time it was only resurfaced. The 2010 paving project took all the existing asphalt off down to the limestone base. The track base remained true to Bill Fanace Sr's original plan.
Paving began on July 5th 2010 and was completed enough today to host The Goodyear Tire Test. Eighteen drivers are taking advantage of the two day tire test getting a preview of the track surface before the big race February 20 2011.
We got to watch some of the testing today and it was amazing. You could litterly feel your chest compressing as the cars passed by.
