As a birthday present, I was given the opportunity to solo-drive a NASCAR stock car at Texas Motor Speedway. On July 17, 2010, after waiting in the 102* weather for 3 hours, I climbed I the car for an 8 minute drive around the track. There were as many as 3 cars on the track at one time. The cars are equipped with governors that were supposedly set at 150mph (boo). The drivers are in constant communication with a spotter. In my 8 minute session, I was able to pass two other cars. My official fastest lap was 152.03mph. It was an unreal experience!
p.s., I got stuck in Kyle Busch's car. At the end of the video you can here me say, "When he told me I was in the 18 I said, 'CRAP!'" Also, the cars I passed on the track were the 24 and the 99.
Awesome...it looks like a great time!
