    It was a wise decision. Fuel stops are not good.

      Maybe a dumb question but why can't they run 100 laps there? They just did it at Eldora. Is the track that much bigger?

        The track has to be 1/2 on the inside. It's large and in charge!

          Post 17 question:

          Very large track & on the throttle the entire time. A couple of years ago- many were running out of fuel because of the capacity of the fuel cells. They talked about cutting the laps after that - but implemented the fuel stops.

                  Measuring Knoxville on Google Maps each straightaway and turn is approx. 100 ft. longer than Eldora. So 4 x 100 ft. x 100 laps = 40,000 more ft or approx. 7.5 miles. Thus 100 laps at Knoxville is approx. 7.5 more miles than 100 laps at Eldora.

                      Traffic barriers (sometimes called ARMCO barriers) also known in North America as guardrails.
