At Nashville Superspeedway, the transition from the NASCAR banking to the infield is an event. Upsetting not only the car but the driver in the process. The only way to go fast here is to know your car, know your limit and be willing to push both past your comfort zone.
Barber Motorsports Park July 2021
NASA events tend to have some sort of quirky title and/or theme and in the 2021 season, the irony knows no bounds.
