Charlotte Motor Speedway is undergoing several updates to the infield road course ahead of the NASCAR postseason competition in October. The section between Turns 6 and 7 is currently being repaved to accommodate the new area of the course configuration that was announced in May. The circuit will remain 2.28 miles in length with 17 corners despite the reconfigured sections. Additional work is scheduled for the frontstretch chicane later this summer, including modifications to create a sharper apex for a better braking zone. These enhancements aim to challenge drivers and create a thrilling event for Playoff contenders. The projects will use 600 tons of asphalt, 23,000 square feet of cement-stabilized base, and 1,000 cubic yards of dirt, with completion expected by the end of the month. NASCAR will feature the Xfinity Series and Cup Series at the Charlotte road course the weekend of Oct. 11-13 for the seventh consecutive season.
