TTAC Video of the Week: NASCAR in the City

This week's video will be pretty straightforward -- just some videos I shot during the race that let you get up close and personal.


Sit back, enjoy, and get ready for Atlanta this weekend.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Your position on the apex of that one turn looked exceptionally risky. Any car up into that fence would have made a mess of things (you).


    I'm surprised they'd let people stand there - almost like a European road rally.


    Personally, I don't really get it. Any type of car could run that course, but the NASCAR appeal is strong in this country. Still, thank you for posting those videos; I wouldn't have seen any of it otherwise.


    Do the ovals need to worry?

      I should add that you'd see a car that was about to hit the wall coming and be able to move back. It seems dangerous but it's really not. NASCAR has officials and security everywhere to make sure you don't stand in an unsafe spot -- I was pretty impressed with how they run things.

    The "Let's Go Brandon" part was awesome

  • ToolGuy If these guys opened a hotel outside Cincinnati I would go there to sleep, and to dream.
  • ToolGuy Michelin's price increases mean that my relationship with them as a customer is not sustainable. 🙁
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I wonder if Fiat would pull off old world Italian charm full of well intentioned stereotypes.
  • Chelsea I actually used to work for this guy
  • SaulTigh Saw my first Cybertruck last weekend. Looked like a kit car...not an even panel to be seen.
