Dale Jr. doesn't like California Speedway

| | Comments (0) |

In his post-race news conference, Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Turns 1 and 2 at California Speedway were like parking lots. It might have been Junior's best career finish at California Speedway -- he finished second in Sunday's race -- but he was not a fan of the traffic that built up in the first two turns of the race track.
Gillian Zucker was asked is she plans on making any alterations to the track.
She said she talked to Dale Jr. about the layout of the track. She has also talked to NASCAR officials and team owners about their views on California Speedway. She has visited three tracks this year to see how they have modified their layouts.
But for the time being, Zucker said she is not going to make any changes to the track.
"If we were to find something that we think would create a difference here, I think we will explore it," Zucker said. "What I do know is I am not going to make changes to a 10-year-old race track especially after the kind of race we had (Sunday night) unless we know that it will make California Speedway the most competitive NASCAR track in the nation."
