Since July 5, the day after the Coke Zero 400, Daytona International Speedway has been undergoing a repave. Originally scheduled for 2012, the project was moved up two years after a pothole marred February's Daytona 500.

The job presents a number of challenges, the biggest being the 31-degree banked surface, which requires specially made equipment, including bulldozers outside the crash walls connected to the paver.
