USA Today updates on pave or no pave. Notice the cost if/when the Track is repaired. Seems with the patch, no guarantees that the same situation will not reoccur. NASCAR mentioned the track was inspected on Sunday morning and the problem did not exist. Now that the pothole has happened, for the future until a repave, if that's the decision, I would guess NASCAR will have the best material and equipment available for hopefully an immediate and timely repair.

" Track president Robin Braig said a team of engineers and asphalt specialists from North American Testing Corp. decided a strip of pavement will be removed and a reinforced concrete patch will be poured in the area where a significant pothole developed during Sunday's race

The patch in the asphalt surface will be about 6 feet wide and 18 feet long, and should hold up until the 2-1/2 mile, high-banked superspeedway undergoes a $20 million repaving scheduled for as early as 2012. The current surface was paved in 1978. "
