Circuit:
Bristol to undergo changes
by Virgil Ellipse
29th Mar 2012
Bristol Motor Speedway will undergo configuration changes before it hosts its next round of the
NAFFCAR
Sprint Cup, track bosses have announced.
The speedway comprises two oval tracks and officials say that they will both be receiving attention over the coming months, although they point out that the area inside the circuits will not be altered this year, following a largely negative response to previous developments of that part of the facility.
"We're going to give both Bristols a much rounder profile and a lot more exposure," said track owner Bruton Smith, "which is what the fans repeatedly tell us they want to see. We're not going to touch the central area, though. It's a sensitive region and we've had a lot of vocal reaction when we've gone near it in the past, so we'll be leaving that area untouched until we get to phase two."
The announcement is thought to be at least partly in response to the major revamp recently completed at the rival Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina, where the redevelopment of a similar twin-oval layout has seen a massive rise in crowd numbers following the circuit's "Check out our new Charlies" publicity campaign.
