I posted about this (Chastain Nascar) in the youtube thread little while ago, but I've watched it about 15x now and I still can't really believe he tried it / managed it.

Days of Thunder is the most realistic film that Tony Scott ever made

Full on Talledega Nights stuff.

GTA2, Skyline drag car in the oval circuit just drive round the wall for the entire race and end up 5 laps in the lead at the end.

"His final lap was 18.845 seconds. The next fastest time on the last lap was 20.508 seconds by Kyle Larson. Larson won pole Saturday with a lap of 19.709 seconds"

Just seen another post - someone has calculated he was pulling 5G lateral to do this....

reminded me of that time Senna (I think it may have been) took pole by crashing through/out of the last turn

the finish line was on the corner exit, there was no way he was going to make the turn/next straight, but he didn't need to

think they moved the finish line away from the corner after that
