[Wolfe4X4]

[Joey20Rocks]

is it on the wheel?

[Schyderap]

this video would've be great...if they just put the camera on the proper place.

[gparts39]

really cool video! Thanks for sharing it!

[maddave111]

How much would you give to be in his seat right now. BRING ON NASCAR 2012.

[termonator32]

he should put it on the dashboard

[DaveRFuller]

Wonder what it will look like in-race...with a decent driver...

[xZiinka]

@DaveRFuller Paul is one of the best, soo..

[88fanforlife]

@xZiinka i wouldn't say one of the best but he has potential

[clusterfurm]

Hope he leaves that on in the daytona 500!

[stewarthass14]

INSANE !!!!!!

[icoachman]

Way cool. Never sounded like he was running full out.

[redneck8824]

@icoachman well he wasent in the draft and he was probably turning 8000 to 8500 rpms. when they in they draft they will be turning 8500 to 9000 rpms.

[MrDrkavorkien]

WOW that was awesome!

[davles2011]

that was awesome

[SonnyKrockett]

Steering boxes are a driver preference thing. Some like more input, some like less. At speedways you want as little steering input as can because you want to keep the wheels as straight as possible to not scrub off speed.

[TheRapacci]

Menard needs a Go-Pro... Great footage btw

[FBRBDavis]

Running right around 47 seconds for the lap.. Looked like a mock qual-run, clocking in at around the 191.6 mph range.. The higher steering ratio is so minor adjustments among a pack of cars is just that, MINOR.. A lower ratio might make the car too unstable in the pack or with someone pushing when he makes a correction..

[iam27paul]

Whoa. Wiggly lines. It's like I'm watching Dr. Katz.

[chevystud88]

The sound of 8 cylinders singing harmony... <3

[tylersmmith07]

As much as I hate the 2 by 2 drafting, it would be cool to see it from this view.

Awesome vid, can't wait for Daytona!

[flyersfan4888]

incredible video. Go paul! haha

[asphaltcowboy07]

awesome,makes me want to drive the car

[DigitalAlpine]

This shows a good example of how much steering input he's using. I can only assume someone like Danica would be more used to a tighter wheel.

[wdnewberry]

@DigitalAlpine each driver does use a steering box that changes how far over they have to turn the wheel to make it corner. But it's still pretty amazing to get this added glimpse into Paul's style.

[starscreammtfan]

Yeah wiggle vision!

[IndyB25]

Wow. Great footage...

[HenryRacing57]

its on the steering wheel. and it shows just how much those things vibrate in their hands

[smoke6696]

go paul menard!

[3Zzy7]

Actually, the camera is hanging down where they hang their helmets.

[3Zzy7]

@LS1LT1 Yes, because that was probably when he was putting it up on the place where they put the helmets.

[Bru1nsFOX2433]

This taped to the steering wheel?

[badmonk3829]

ya i hope people can tell that the camera is on the steering wheel..

[jlogano20]

this was a great testing weekend cant wait for the 500
