The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been paved on top of paved, repaved, and paved again and again in the pursuit of the most unbelievable driving race track. Last week in October, the folks in Indy were able to get a look at how much the track has been resurfaced, and all of the materials inside of it with one core sample.
The sample was tweeted out on the speedway’s official Twitter account, and shows the core sample with a photoshopped image alongside it detailing all of the contents – from the original creek gravel, to the asphalt that is the top now…check out the tweets!
How awesome!!!!
Did you see the core sample @jdouglas4 shared last week?
