Great question.
This is out of my realm but here is what I heard. They will be using polymer asphalt which has a very short cure time, but needs at least 50 degrees F. When it is used for highways, it is ready for heavy traffic within hours. There is no hard data available for race tracks or if additional cure time allows it to withstand more lateral g-force.
