Changes to the iconic Bus Stop at Daytona International Speedway for safety's sake have made for a slower, messier — and potentially more chaotic corner.
In NASCAR's summer Cup race at Daytona in 2023, Ryan Preece took a terrifying flip through the grass, luckily walking away from the airborne incident with only minor injuries. The sport — and Daytona International Speedway — reacted quickly, repaving the area of the backstretch leading into the turn officially known as Le Mans chicane, but still popularly called Bus Stop. Since then, more changes have been made.
' The #6 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963 driven by Mathieu Jaminet, Matt Campbell, and Kevin Estre Photo by: IMSA Jaminet said that the curbing has made the corner feel slower, and that the changes 'slightly killed the flow towards the exit... Let's say, the second part of the chicane.' He's not against the new challenge that the updated Bus Stop offers, and has a glass-half-full take.
