A large sink hole has developed on the infield at CMS. Not surprising since it was built on an old landfill. As far as I known, Allied Waste, the successor to BFI still operates a landfill next to the back stretch parking lot.
When I worked for BFI we held a truck rodeo at the track. A track employee (not a name racer) was giving rides around the track in a pace car to anyone who would sign a release form.
Top speed on these rides was held to around 125 MPH. I told the driver I was a former boat race "deck rider" and I didn't think he could scare me. He said "Hang on" and we headed for the road course on the infield.
Now that was a ride, but apparently the driver was told not to take anymore "special" excursions because he never ventured onto the road track again the whole weekend.
Don't worry NASCAR fans, word is the problem will be fixed before the next race.
