Construction on the venue in Cumberland County, Tennessee, began in October 2022, with meticulous work carried out to ensure the track met the highest standards. The Transtec Group, specialists in pavement engineering, oversaw the technical paving and grading process, using locally sourced materials from Tennessee to create a durable, high-performance surface with three layers of asphalt.
