2008 Sharpie 500 Race Information

The Sharpie 500 is held on one of the only concrete tracks used by NASCAR. It compares to the Dover Speedway but is shorter in length. The turns bank at about 24-30 degrees but some think it may be as much as 36 degrees before the resurfacing of the track was completed in 2007. Because the length of the track is short, the speed is not as high as some of the other tracks in the circuit. It is definitely best to qualify for the Sharpie 500 in a high spot because low spots will get you placed almost a lap behind the other cars because of the track size. To make sure you get your tickets early.
