With the recent announcement of Atlanta Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway undergoing repaves this year, here’s a look at Tracks that have gone through repaves that have provided the best racing.

One thing in racing will also remain true and that is that drivers and teams are not fans of tracks getting repaved. While repaving a track might be beneficial in the long-term, in the short-term it causes teams a lot of headaches as they aren’t sure how their cars are going to react to the new surface.

Track repaves also generally require a new tire which throws teams another curveball. Coming into a race weekend teams have stacks of notes and data about a certain track, how it is in certain situations, how the tires react throughout races etc. When a track undergoes a repave these notes are essentially worthless for those first couple of races back.

That being said, here is a look at the top-five track repaves in NASCAR history.
