The "apron" of the high bank part of the track is also slightly banked.
The indy cars will race on this part of the track, as it goes all the
way around the track. The most interesting thing brought to light (by
*** Berggren, I think) concerning this design is that with the banked
apron, chances are that the Winston Cup boys may try to use this part of
the track for passing in a pinch. I imagine Dale Jarret will set up his
car to run down there and Ernie Irvan will just go there by accident!!!
