Having never driven a NASCAR I turned to a conversation I had with Montoya (who has driven both). He was happy to give up the hardcore training regimen for his low workout NASCAR one. Read more

Love it. Read more

He is the shit, also. Damn good driver. Read more

Some like Carl Edwards are very fit. More from desire than necessity. Read more

Smoke is the shit. No doubt. Read more

How is it speaking down? It is a fact, oval racing is not that physically demanding. It is more mental. It is the same in IndyCar. Read more

Same as Montoya. Let me tell you, he used to be fit, now, not so much. Read more

To be fair, they have to deal with excessive heat and concentration for 4 hours. They need to be fit, just not extreme fitness. Read more

I think that is more getting used to the G-forces. That for anyone new will be tough because you were likely fighting them rather than allowing them to push you against the support. If you got used to it, it would be fine. As I say, ovals are not that tough (other than steering weight in the open wheel), but road… Read more

I have driven an IndyCar that laps the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 225-mph rather than the NASCAR at 170-180 ish. IndyCar has heavier steering, way higher G-Forces etc, so it's pretty fair to say I have driven cars far tougher. So if an indyCar is not physical, then a NASCAR definitely isn't. Read more

I'll reverse donut it in the minivan while you go for a big, wide drift right around the outside of me. It'll be awesome, and I bet we don't crash. Read more

Do it James Hunt style - spend it all on beer, weed and hookers. Probably what Kimi does with his, too. Read more

Explain yourself.

Can I borrow the WRX STI when it snows next week? Promise I'll be sensible. Read more

It's sometimes fun to mix it up a bit. Dodge Caliber is too easy. I already went with the "easy" pick with the Corolla. The F-Sport isn't bad in the same way as the Corolla. It's bad because of how miserably it fails at what the car was originally intended for. Read more

A legitimate replacement for ME. I need my engine noise, gear changes, etc. For me, I'd always have an internal combustion engine in my garage. An electric would compliment that nicely, though. Read more

Have you seen her attempts at presenting? She was voted most boring human ever. Not by me. Read more

No, it was from Nissan's historic collection. Read more

Because race cars have almost zero roll. If you take turn 1 at Sonoma (which I reference in the article) in a purpose built, high performance race car you would enter flat out, then gently release the throttle mid turn to help rotation and scrub speed. The car would rotate, but not break grip (providing your engineer… Read more

Torque vectoring helps rotate the car, it has nothing to do with stability. It is applying more power to the outside rear wheel to help turn the car. Rotation is good, but sometimes it can be a little too much because they know the average driver on the road won't notice it. Read more
