I was surprised when the problems came up again this year. Was there in 2011 when the track was pulling up and have been to 4 wides in 2012 and 2014 without the problem occuring. Was on the track checking it out and it almost looks like the base concrete has a very thin smooth topcoat that comes off/pulls up when the sticky tires go across it. Maybe somebody who is involved in concrete fisnishing can provide some insight.

PS Best race to attend as a spectator is the 4 wides and I have probably been to over 30 national events. Just make sure during at least one session you stand next to the fence past the grandstands as 4 fuelers go roaring by at 300Mph, really awesome.
