Dale Jr.’s Opinion on Atlanta’s Reconfiguration May Surprise You

Tuesday on his podcast, Dale Earnhardt Jr. weighed in on the debate that took root over the weekend where a handful of NASCAR drivers spoke out against Speedway Motorsports Inc.’s plans to not just repave Atlanta Motor Speedway but alter its width and banking. On July 6, speedway officials announced sweeping changes that would hopefully enhance the racing product. Those changes included decreasing the track's width by 15 feet and adding four degrees of banking into the turns. Following his NASCAR Xfinity Series win on Saturday, Kyle Busch questioned the reconfiguration, saying the track would be way too fast and way too narrow to deliver the results AMS officials anticipate.
