The Physics of NASCAR: The Science Behind the Speed

Description

A physicist explores the science of speed racing
With 75 million fans, NASCAR is the #1 spectator sport in America. Now, in "The Physics of NASCAR," a scientist explains the intricate and complex way the sport works, in terms that anyone who drives a car?or maybe occasionally looks under the hood?can easily comprehend. Based on her extensive access to NASCAR race shops, drivers, crew chiefs, engine builders, and pit crews during races, Diandra Leslie-Pelecky traces the life cycle of a race car from its creation at top race shops to competing in the door-todoor action of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
