Tracks at Road America
Author: mully

Watching the NASCAR race I noticed tracks right next the the race track. Anyone know who they belong to?

I noticed them also while getting an overhead shot of the NASCAR this afternoon.

There was one NASCAR track where the Norfolk and Western ran right next to it, close enough that the codeline poles showed up in TV scenes of the race in the 1990s. Anyone remember which track that was?

I believe that was Martinsville. I remember one time when NS passed by and the cameraman followed as the engines passed.

Yes, Martinsvlle, Virginia, on the Winston-Salem District, aka the "Punkin Vine."   The track was actually shifted away a bit from the race track several years ago when the grounds were expanded, but it is still very close.
