Statement from
TSS chairman Grant Lynch
Following an
extensive track review with International Speedway Corporation (ISC), NASCAR and
ARCA, Talladega Superspeedway will add SAFER Barrier to its existing barrier
system in advance of the May 1-3 NASCAR weekend. The new SAFER barrier will be
placed in three locations along the inside wall at entrances to pit road, Turn
1 and Turn 3. Talladega Superspeedway will continue to review its safety
initiatives and provide updates as circumstances warrant.
“We are committed
to making Talladega Superspeedway a safe environment for drivers as well as our
fans. Safety is our top priority and we will continue to collaborate with ISC,
NASCAR and ARCA on any future safety enhancements," Lynch said.
