The company that hubby works for is working on one of Hendrick's shops and he said they shut it down today and probably for the rest of the week. They aren't letting anyone in but the people that need to get ready for the race this weekend. They've halted all of the construction until they open it back up

Yup, exactly.....that Airport has no instrument capabilities for minor traffic and it's situated in the middle of the mountains with all of the weather and fog. Smaller private traffic have to rely on visuals for take off, approach & landing.
