Charlotte Motor Speedway Sinkhole

A 35-feet sinkhole appeared in the infield at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. According to sources, the large hole is the result of an underground collapse due to a deteriorating drainage pipe and not some new obstacle or blockage NASCAR drivers have to overcome at the annual fall races next week.

The sinkhole was first seen Friday night by the Charlotte Motor Speedway officials.

A few workers are now currently repairing the Charlotte Motor Speedway sinkhole in time for the Dollar General 300 Nationwide Series race on October 15 and the Bank of America Sprint Cup Series race on October 16 which will be held there.
