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.

- Oberkanone Spirit of Buick of the past lives on in base Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
- 1995 SC Good for Buick. I am glad they are selling. But I'll take that "no personality" Century or a Riviera, thanks. I don't see a bunch of turbo powered crossovers as reinventing the brand...more like taking a dump on it.
- Random1 I can't find the article now, but when the CyberTruck debuted, one of the car rags said the tires on a brand new CyberTruck had 9/32 tread depth, probably to improve the lousy range. That's pretty absurd for an off-road tire. Hearsay, I know, maybe someone who has access to one can verify.
- EBFlex Well yet again we have another shining example of the governments stupidity. Wildly inefficient (like all EVs), extremely overpriced, and overall it’s the tax payer that suffers. What a joke
- EBFlex Those mileage numbers are awful. Needs to be at least double while hauling 1500 pounds. Yet another turd from Ford.

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?
The "Let's Go Brandon" part was awesome
