NASCAR to replace backstrate wall in Taldga after major accident

When? Ryan Pris The summer of 2023 was violently flipped on the Detona International Speedway, NASCAR was not shy in its response, quickly proceeding to remove grass from the entire backstance on the supersedeway.

Thankfully, no one went up in Taladga, but Christopher Bell and Chris Busher crashed very hard when Turn 2 exiting the mid-race restartBell slammed on the head of the inner wall, completely destroyed her number 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. The effect of Bushar looked less serious, but he still gave radio about how much it was hurt later. They crashed into an unusual section of the wall as it actually exits at an angle towards the race track, where emergency vehicles come and go.

Despite not reaching the full speed, the effects were serious, and the Bell’s accident is not the first of its kind at that place on the 2.66-mile supersidaway. Both Bell and Bushar were tested and released from the Infield Care Center.

On weekly nascar podcast, Hauler TalkAmanda Ellis, senior director of Sports of Racing Communications, revealed that the wall should be replaced before the playoffs returned to Taldga, NASCAR later this year.

“That wall will be adjusted or essentially corrected, before we return to the fall,” she revealed. “They are going out of the lips and actually straightening it, and can straighten the type of wall that also fixes the area.

Mike Ford, Managing Director of Racing Communications for NASCAR explains in detail on it, saying: “That wall is a debris magnet. For some reason, that area is often hit. There is a wall because there is an access road behind it where we have emergency vehicles, so they can be easily.

“But right now, it is at an angle of five degrees – it can be slightly higher than that. Therefore, making it and making it more than a straight edge should help as the importance of these debris. It is one of the things we are going to fix in summer and October, you will see a new wall there.”
