Be careful if you're camping in the infield @ Charlotte.....

One Big A$$ Hole! - Video Link

A sinkhole has formed at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, on the infield near the back end of the track, according to WSOCTV.

A Speedway representative told WSOCTV the sinkhole was likely caused by the recent spate of rain.

In addition, part of the speedway is built on top of a landfill, which could have added to the issue.

Crews have already started work to fill the hole and hope to have it repaired before next week's Bank of America 500.
 
Too bad it wasn't the racing surface. Who knows, this could be a new wrinkle in the chase: Sudden potholes on the straightaways!!!! Now THAT would improve ratings!!!!

Below is a list of the Top-10 things rumored to have been discovered at the bottom of the sinkhole.


10. A peanut butter and banana sandwich left behind by “The King” Elvis Presley during his 1968 filming of “Speedway” at the track.

9. An I.O.U. from David Reutimann to Michael Waltrip for intentionally wrecking one of his cars in Kansas last weekend.

8. Blueprints from the infamous T-Rex race car that Jeff Gordon drove to a dominating victory in the 1997 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.


7. Naysayers who believed condominiums would never work at a race track.


6. Media center lasagna that’s as edible as it was 30-plus years ago.

5. A strong, number-two wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. No, scratch that, that hasn’t been found yet.

4. Parts to Darrell Waltrip’s engine that mysteriously failed and ultimately avoided inspection after he drove to victory in the first NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in 1985.

3. The golden horseshoe that Kevin Harvick said Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 team used when they won the Feb., 2010, race in Fontana, Calif. Just in time for this weekend’s race!

2. A toupee worn by Burt Reynolds in his 1983 movie “Stroker Ace,” filmed at the track.

1. Clint Bowyer’s 150 drivers points.
