The size and shape of this impressive structure are two factors that dictated the need for hot-dip galvanized steel. Since this large structure is located over the speedway, any needed repairs would be especially expensive and inconvenient, limiting events and garnering indirect costs. 

HDG steel provided the ideal coating because it requires little to no maintenance once completed, and no elaborate upkeep in hard-to-reach places for over 50 years. Life-cycle cost and low maintenance were major advantages for this project, as paint or other options would fall short of expected performance. With NASCAR being one of the most viewed professional sports, this leader board is bound to gain lots of attention and approval from fans worldwide. Hot-dip galvanized steel will keep it standing strong and looking beautiful with little to no maintenance for decades to come.
