Maintaining the integrity and individual nature of the track is critical to any race venue repaving or repair project. The MIS project, set to the exacting standards of the International Speedway Corporation Design and Development, included reconstruction of the pit road area, removal of the existing asphalt surface, repaving of the 2-mile long track and construction of a 1.5-mile long road course in the track in-field.
The pit road project was completed in just 30 days. The second phase saw completion within a tight 90-day window despite many engineering challenges. The MIS track has variable banking, with its steepest point at 18 degrees, a pitch requiring us to modify existing equipment to adhere to smoothness standards. A laser survey of more than 100 million data points guided engineers in replicating all points of the original pavement surface, maintaining the track’s unique character and track geometry.
If you’ve flown ‘in or out’ of Michigan or Florida, there’s a solid chance you’ve experienced our work firsthand. The same goes for many of the roads and highways in the midwest. Even if you don’t think you’ve driven on our work, there’s a good possibility the safety, drivability, and performance of your vehicle was tested on one of the many test tracks we developed for Ford, GM, and other manufacturers. Even NASCAR® trusts our quality results for their high-spec precision tracks. When we say ‘The Future is Riding on Ajax’... we mean it. Since 1951, we’ve had our hands in some of the most demanding and challenging paving jobs in the Midwest. We’re proud of the work we do and continue to operate guided by the same principles set in place by our founder Herb Jacob; Quality, Safety, and Productivity.
