actually heard tonight how this track was conceived, the 3 corners were molded after three great tracks intentionally.

Indianapolis, Darlington, and Richmond

now it makes sense as to why it is the way it is. - if Daytona owes its tri-oval to the neighboring drag strip and Martinsville owes its shape to the railroad, why not right?

just goes to show, it isn't always about visual conception but also practicality as well.
