Summary
Every NASCAR fan-at one time or another-asks the same question: Why isn't my favorite driver winning? This is your chance to discover how much more there is to NASCAR than 'Go fast, turn left, and don't crash.' If you've ever wondered why race cars don't have mufflers, how 'bump drafting' works, or what in the world 'Let's go up a pound on the right rear and add half a round of wedge' means, The Physics of NASCAR is for you.
In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800-horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another.
Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car-and maybe occasionally looks under the hood-can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest.
Listeners, start your engines.
