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.

Drivers will likely be held accountable for abusing monitor limits throughout the brand new curbing. Automobiles should run the total course always and a driver will likely be penalized for reducing the ultimate chicane within the following state of affairs: “You can be judged as lacking or short-cutting any flip beforehand described when all 4 tires on the non-track aspect of the pink and white rumble strips that outline the apex of the turns.”
