Generally referred to as ‘turtles’ or ‘sausage kerbs’ elsewhere on the earth, drivers had been aggressively operating excessive of the curbs throughout observe in qualifying, and later complained about how violent the hits had been. For instance, Martin Truex Jr. in contrast it to getting a concussion.

Because of this, NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports have changed the pink and white curbing with rumble strips which are simply 2.25 inches from the monitor floor. An analogous transfer was made on the bus cease chicane at Watkins Glen between 2023 and 2024 for a similar motive.
