Masonry Plays A Big Part In Design At Nashville Superspeedway
December 17, 2006

Over in Lebanon, TN, the Nashville Superspeedway is attracting visitors from several states to come and see some great racing.
We at Southland Brick and Block hope you’ll notice all the fine masonry materials while you’re there.
HNTB, the project architects and JTK Masonry, both from Nashville, were able to take two different colors and two different textures in each color of concrete masonry unit and blend it into a scheme that makes the masonry materials one of the focal points of this project.
The project included over 32,000 SF of Dover Gray masonry units and over 36,000 SF of Safari Beige units in splitface and smooth textures.

Here’s a closeup of all four masonry units.
The Administration Building, shown below, also used this same color and texture scheme and we applaud HNTB for designing this building with load-bearing masonry walls.

Wilson County, TN is home to this fine racing facility and Southland Brick and Block is proud to have supplied these masonry materials out of our Mufreesboro, TN location.
