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

It was awesome
Full on Talledega Nights stuff.
I hope he has reinforced pants to handle the weight of his clearly ginormous bollocks.

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.
Obviously with reality the car lasted only a single turn before it was totally fucked! But hey in only needed to and got the job done.

"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"

I thought this kind of trick was reserved for badly programmed computer games.

If they fitted reinforced bumper rollers along the outside of each car, they could do that for entire laps

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
