Report

Background

Atlanta Motor Speedway is a track in Hampton, Georgia, 20 miles south of Atlanta. It is a quad-oval track with a seating capacity of 111,000. It opened in 1960 as a standard oval. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval. The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit.
Because of restrictions, current plans are to limit spectator attendance to 230 including no fans in the grandstands. -- the owners of the 46 condominiums at Turn Four got to watch the race live with a procedure similar to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
