Speedway grew up around a two-and-a-half-mile oval, and the streets that ring it are lined with the kind of old, tall trees that shade Main Street in July and load up with ice every January. Delta Tree Services spends the warm months tending those limbs and the cold months making sure a heavy snow — or the ice that sometimes comes with it — doesn't bring one down onto a driveway or a power line. In the month of May, half a million people fill the grandstands a few blocks from these same quiet residential streets, but by December the track sits closed and dark, and it's just neighbors, driveways, and whatever the sky decides to drop. This crew reads a winter storm the way it reads a summer storm: watching the trees first, then clearing whatever fell or froze underneath them so the driveway is passable before anyone needs to leave for work. There's something almost peaceful about a Speedway morning after a snowfall, the famous oval a few blocks off buried under the same quiet white as everything else.
