It s been fun coming up here over the years and watching the race track grow. I know all the teams are really going to be excited about the garage. If it does rain, and let s hope it doesn t, it s real convenient for the teams to have a garage. It s perfect. Burton said when the Winston Cup circuit rolls into town for the April 8 running of the Virginia 500, the new garage will attract a lot of attention, but he is equally impressed with the wider pit road.
Pit road is more important than the garage.
We don t really need a garage, said Burton, who won the Old Dominion 500 here in 1997. I want to see a competitive race. When I watch a race at Martinsville, I see a competitive race. I see a competitive race at Bristol and at Richmond, said Burton. These race tracks put on the best shows.
