Remember the elevation changes are about 100 x more extreme than they look. Google some photos from the track surface to get a better perspective.

The hill is definitely what makes it such a unique race.

That 17y/o kid in with Denyer must be beside himself with nerves! What an AMAZING prize. If they come top ten I'll buy him his first beer.

Also, that clip they showed of the collision at the start (I guess it was last year??) was crazy. The fireball was amazing.

This track shits all over the Nurburgring. The tarmac coming through Mcphillamy Park and all the way through, down to Forrest Elbow is the best section of racetrack in the world.

As a fellow NASCAR fan, I'm not really buying his reactions. He certainly knows speed. He's one of the greatest ever.

I agree. He's such a great sport, I love it! I love it when he said skid marks!
