...Noted today at Martinsville, Va. race the NS tracks have been moved that were right along the outside of the stands but didn't see enough of an aerial shot to see how far back it was moved. This has been contemplated for some time now specifically to get it located back beyond the parking lot.

With the tracks now moved, the Martinsville Speedway can expand thier grandstands even more and fit more people in the track! Too bad the tracks were moved. I was looking forward to going there and watching trains from the grandstands.

And they weren't trying to get away from Gordon...It was the FedEx car! In our area, FedEx and trains don't match-up very well...it equals accident!
