politics,i dont know why they dont just own up to the truth.the surface was horrible to begin with and progressively got worse.they are very lucky there wasnt any fatalities or spectators injured from debris or loss of control.to this day they most likely would have swept it all under the rug if the pros wouldnt have stepped up to raise hell about it at the last big event.see what happens when a racing organization isnt run by racers any longer?but by college nerds with no racing background...
