The new turn will feature 120ft of runoff. The modification will increase the length of the road course from 1.95 to 1.99mi. The problem before was that we were never straight when we were braking. We were turning the whole time, which makes it tough to pass. By braking in a straight line, it will enable us to dive on the inside of someone to make a pass.
Most drivers are apprehensive about change, but they are just trying to make it better.
This move will be great, and it should really make next year's race a lot more exciting.
