Engine noise could be heard coming from historic Darlington Raceway today, well in advance of the 2008 Dodge Challenger 500. The engine noise wasn't from race cars, but from the equipment being used to lay the first of two layers of new asphalt at the track “Too Tough to Tame.”“This is a historic day for Darlington Raceway,” said Chris Browning, Darlington Raceway President. “It has been a busy off-season at Darlington Raceway and we look forward to showcasing our new racing surface and infield access tunnel for fans and competitors during the upcoming Dodge Challenger 500 weekend.”
The new asphalt surface at Darlington is part of a $10 million dollar capital improvement project that began following the 2007 Dodge Avenger 500. In addition to the new racing surface, work is also underway on a new infield access tunnel large enough to accommodate race car haulers, motorcoaches and emergency vehicles.
