Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch spoke
today on planned safety initiatives at the Alabama speed plant.
“Following an extensive track review with International Speedway
Corporation, NASCAR and ARCA, Talladega Superspeedway will add SAFER Barrier to
its existing barrier system in advance of the May 1-3 NASCAR weekend,” said Lynch
in a written statement. “The new SAFER barrier will be placed in three
locations along the inside wall at entrances to pit road, Turn One and Turn
Three. Talladega Superspeedway will continue to review its safety initiatives
and provide updates as circumstances warrant.
“We are committed to making Talladega Superspeedway a safe environment for
drivers as well as our fans. Safety is our top priority and we will continue to
collaborate with ISC, NASCAR and ARCA on any future safety enhancements.”
NASCAR return to Talladega May 1-3 for the GEICO 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series race and Winn-Dixie 300 NASCAR XFINITY event.
