Infineon Raceway Continues Modernization with New Medical & Care Center for 2004 Season
SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) – Infineon Raceway has begun work on an 8,850-square foot multi-use building, which will include a new Medical & Care Center that will be operational for the 2004 motor racing season.
The structure, which will be located in the main paddock, will include a Medical & Care Center; tire storage and distribution facility; driver’s meeting room; fire and safety storage area; Safety-Kleen Center for oil collection and recycling; and four additional competitor garages. That will bring the total number of permanent garages to 44, more than enough to accommodate a 43-car starting grid for the Dodge/Save Mart 350 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup event, June 25-27.
The $700,000 project continues Infineon Raceway’s four-year modernization plan, which began in September, 2000, and has transformed the facility into one of the premier motor sports and entertainment venues in the country. Other enhancements fans and competitors can expect in 2004 include a repaved road course and additional runoff at Turns 1 and 6, further enhancing driver/rider safety. Since 2000, Infineon Raceway has added runoff at virtually every turn on the twisting road course and spent more than $60 million in enhancements.
The Medical & Care Center is the featured element of the new structure and will include a driver exam room, family waiting room, imaging facilities and several beds for both treatment and recovery.
“This building is an important new resource for the track and a further step in our commitment to provide the best possible competitor facilities at Infineon Raceway,” said Steve Page, president and general manager at Infineon Raceway.
The new building will also feature additional permanent restrooms.
