Are you watching the race?

Do you see what I’m talking about?

I’m not sure if it’s centripetal force or centrifugal force, but it’s what nails these cars to the track in the turns. Of course, the car must be set-up properly and the wheelman has to be on top of his game.

I also think they prepare for this by weighing the car down in different ways.

I'll say it again for another year...

Bowyer is cursed with bad karma for his involvement in the fake spinout at Richmond in 2013 that altered the outcome of the race.

The NASCAR competition committee was forced to make new competition rules, and they gave Jeff Gordon a 17th spot in the chase that year to make good on what Bowyer did to him.
