Video: NASCAR Race at Texas Motor Speedway - Opening Laps
Now You Know What 185 MPH Looks Like Up Close
People wonder what I like about NASCAR..speed! I was on the backstretch off Turn 2 at Texas Motor Speedway for the Nov. 8, 2009 Sprint Cup race. See for yourself what cars look like going 185+ MPH. 2 fast laps to start the race.

NASCAR season is over now, but I'm glad I can come back to this video to get my speed fix!
Heh I can throw a rock and hit NASCAR driver's homes and have never been to a race.
Exciting! Thanks for sharing this. :-)
That's cool I do like the sounds of the racetrack..and the people watching. We used to go the Indy 500 every year..just for the those reasons! :) Nice job!
Like bullets. Wow. I've never been to a race. Thanks for sharing! :)
Very good. Brad loved it when you and mom called, everybody heard the cars going by.
WEE HOO! I LOVE the way those cars sound when they roar around the track at over 180mph. What a rush.
AAARRRRGH. The video won't load for me! I'll check back later, I promise. (More page views for you, Sherri!)
Poor Gillian..maybe I should not tell you how loud I cheered when Jimmie Johnson hit the wall right in front of me!lol
