The Infamous Turn 2 (now Turn 4)

out a lot further. So you see what I'm talking about? Yeah, it was. That's why you have a lot of folks that will hit this wall here coming out of what is turn two. Now, does it do something weird down here, too? It almost looks like it kicks out. It kicks out a little bit. Thus, again, it wasn't there wasn't a big big amount of quote engineering in it. It was it was Harold who wanted to build a racetrack and and he did it. And so, the character of this place started with the very first Southern 500 1950. And the great thing is it's been going for 74 years. Every track president, everyone, they've always wanted to keep that character intact. And that's what we've been able to do. Have the concrete walls been redone since the first time they were made to be concrete? Well, you got to think now when they first built this place, there was not concrete there was not concrete walls. It was it was guard rails. Believe it or not, my grandfather uh WD Brandom actually supplied the wood. He he had a um an old saw. So all the wood that made the first uh guard rails here came from Brandham Lumber Company about a mile outside of what is turn one. That's awesome. Yeah. So um it's been different things over the years, but the concrete's been here for a long long time. I don't I don't I can't remember if it's been replaced since it was originally put in there. Um I would say yeah because originally when they put it up there they didn't have enough reinforcement. They did now I remember um they completely redid them because they put reinforcement in it. Ah so that was before you had soft walls
