Relocating the Start/Finish Line

And they did. It's a great example how sometimes what you think um are your problems or deficiencies can become your assets when packaged the right way. That's right. In 1997 was the year that we moved the finish line from one side to the other. And the reason for that was like you saw before, we didn't have there's not a lot of property over there. It's all owned on the other side of the street by private land owners for the most part except for one little strip. So the idea was we were able to get we were able to finally buy some property back here. We built a causeway through the woods and it opens up into a big parking area. So now we can park our fans back there right off of what we call Petty Boulevard. So we were able then to build seats. Tyler Tower was built what 94. That's when we started building Tyler Tower. Pearson Tower. The first uh part up was built in 97. The next part was built in '98. The Brazington Tower was built after I had left here. That was in the mid 2000s that the Brazen Tower was was erected. We had to build a new Victory Lane whenever we moved everything. just jumped off. Why don't we go over to where the original front stretch was? You can show us where where was the original victory lane? Where were the garage areas? Like paint the picture of how it was. This victory lane here when we flip-flopped the finish line. This is the only piece of property that we had where we could build a victory lane. So, you can see we used every bit of it. It's It's not a very large victory lane, but it works out nice. It's nice and compact. We got the flowers in there. We'll have some new backdrops and everything else. RICKY CRARAVEN DROVE THE WHEELS OFF IT TODAY. The crew is cheering him as they SHOULD BE. WHAT A RUN. OH, here we go. Everybody gets wet. Uh, Mobile One is now the sponsor of our victory lane. That's going to be uh upgraded here in the next couple days. Um, but it's it's really a cool compact victory lane and it's right here beside Pit Road. But this was that was the real estate that we had to do that.
