    Brad McCown and his crew have done quite a lot since taking over Atomic. Believe they're going to upgrade track lighting also, they've already done the pit area with LED's. Giving credit where credit is due.

        Could well be. Still can’t believe no one was hurt badly or even killed in turn 3. Good riddance to that tractor tire for sure.

          I dont think there is anything behind it, other than it being time to get it done. He's been saying he took over the place the wall was planned to be brought on around.

            I think it's time for the wall, the wreck JP had in the mod Sunday night was scary and the go-pro footage showed just how hard that hit was.

              Id bet ya that the wall will come from the wall he ain't using at Jackson county. Saw where he was gonna tear that track a part this spring if it didnt sell

                well you should have seen some of the wrecks before the wall was extended the first time. I don't know how that old fence held the cars from going into the parking lot...

                  Looks like the new wall wound up getting a severe workout on this crash. The Mod hit the wall right where it started in turn three and stopped it right now. This is a dangerous situation.



                  The car hits the wall at about the 2:45 mark of the video.

                  Or is the new wall not started yet?

                      Okay, it's been a long time since I've been to that track.

                        The actual old wall stopped at the end of grand stands between 3 and 4. It got extended it out a few years ago to where it is there.

                          I thought that end was open back when I went. Thanks

                            TTS, you got a link to go pro footage? Was this same wreck folks were talking about at buckeye classic?
