 that in the not-too-distant
past, pit road at the Monster Mile was a bit cramped? In 2009 the third phase
of the Monster Makeover construction project lengthened and widened pit road,
making way for a 43rd stall and giving each driver and crew the room they
needed. In addition, a brand new 1,592 foot concrete pit wall, equipped with
SAFER barrier technology, was built. |
