My 2018 Indy Car Run at the Vegas NASCAR Track

The best bits are between 8 and 14 minutes. The comms were terrible and the people doing all this seemed very disorganized from start to finish but the drive itself was a shit-ton of fun.

I can't believe it's already been 5 years go. Every time I watch this, I think of Dan Wheldon and the abrupt end to his life on this track.

Oops, I guess you need to click on that link in the box to watch it.

Very cool!

My wife got me the NASCAR experience at Fontana when I turned 40 (many years ago!), but I only have a grainy VHS tape to remember it. New technology is way better. It was awesome that you had a wide open track. I think I was only able to get 2 or 4 wide open laps because of slower cars.
