Several officials involved in the competition confirmed to The Observer
on Saturday participants were notified the jump would be reconfigured for Saturday night's competition to avoid any potential damage to the track..
Charlotte Motor Speedway is hosting the first race of the 2012 series schedule.
The race is still expected to begin on schedule later Saturday night
after the conclusion of the NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
Global Rallycross, a mix of motorsports and action sports featuring
action sports stars such as Brian Deegan, Ken Block, Travis Pastrana and Tanner
Foust, competes on a custom-built, three-quarter-mile
course constructed along the frontstretch and pit road of the 1.5-mile
speedway.
The course features hairpin turns, crossover jumps and
chicanes and water features all designed to test drivers’ focus and control.
