Starting place in the grid is determined by qualifying times. NASCAR speeds are about 190 - 210 MPH based on the track. The 100 average includes the caution laps.

Talladega and Daytona are the largest tracks. They get up around 200 mph. To decide the starting order they have qualifying. Each driver is timed individually. There are other factors that go into it but that’s basically how it goes.
3:39 Do you realize how fast they’re actually going? The fact that they’re turning at all is a miracle of physics, downforce and banking, tire grip and centrifugal force. Heck, even the cars have to be built at an angle (which is adjustable, called “wedge” in NASCAR terms), and on some tracks, they have to slow down into the turns. They’re drag racing around a curved track for hours. It’s nutty. I don’t watch it anymore myself, but I get why it’s fun to watch, especially if you have certain favorite drivers to watch (RIP, Intimidator.)
Stock car racing is so damn cool. I haven’t followed any racing in a long time either (especially since we’ve moved on a good 2-3 generations from the folks I followed as a kid and I don’t know anybody now), but I still have an appreciation for it. A lot of people like to meme about racing the way I do about golf, but man, it is a *very* intense sport beneath the rather simplistic appearance. I think a lot of people also severely underestimate what it takes to be a race car driver. It’s no casual Sunday drive. The levels of strength, focus, endurance, and control required to handle these machines at these speeds-and under potentially perilous conditions when things go wrong-are insane. The g-forces these folks wrestle with are nothing to sneeze at, either. (Of course I get the obligatory “why do it then?” question that some might raise, and honestly I don’t have a good answer. Why partake in any of the strange, often dangerous things people do for sport? Racing’s typically not really any more foolhardy or damaging than American football, and that captivates the masses like almost nothing else. Hell, I’m pretty sure people get injured *less* in racing than most other sports-there’s just a higher potential for carnage when shit hits the fan. It’s at once both safer than a lot of other sports AND more dangerous, oddly enough.) I don’t think I could do it, as cool as it would be.
Check out the Daytona 500 this weekend. The last 50 laps or so will show you why people enjoy is so much. It's so much more than driving in circles, it takes a lot of skill to drive 200mph 3 inches from another car, surrounded by 40 other cars. Pay drivers are a thing too, meaning they pay for their seat to drive for an underfunded team. That random fan was Dale Earnhardt Jr making a cameo.
Talladega is where the final race of the movie takes place at. The rest of the movie was filmed in and around Charlotte North Carolina. Charlotte is known as the home of NASCAR.
The speed depends on the track. There are small, intermediate, speedways and super speedways. At Talladega, you can easily see 200mph. (Talladega is considered a superspeed way). For the best small track racing, Bristow Tennessee is the best. (Edited) There is a few racetracks during the series that are road courses where they do make right turns.
When Mr. Boyd says "How did you know the name of a random fan?" speaking about Dale Jr. I almost threw my phone in anger. Entertaining video though, keep up the great vids.
The 100.2mph average speed you read is the race distance, with them running 65mph when crashes are cleaned up, etc. The cars will do about 185mph over a lap. The 200mph+ speed record you saw was years back, and they have slowed the cars for safety since then by altering regulations/rules.
I love this movie its probably my favorite comedy its so quotable and you can tell they just had a blast making it! Also like others said Step Brothers is another hilarious movie starring these 2.
A couple of days before the race there is "qualifying", the person with the fastest time starts the race in first and then works its way down from there. Also at Talladega the average speed I would say is about 200 mph.
People don't just watch NASCAR because most of the tracks are only in a circle, but because they're going 200 miles an hour door-to-door, bumper to bumper. Depending on which track they are at, they get one or two qualifying laps Before the Race. The fastest car starts at the front, then the second fastest is second and so on.
That was great, particularly because of how bitingly accurate it is for this era. Might as well just straight up reverse the quote/theme from the movie and say “if you’re last, you’re first!” What a joke this society has become.
@@blairhaffly1777 “B-b-but they tried! You’re a winner if you try! We’re all winners, we’re all special!” Ugh. How pitifully low the bar has been set. …And this is coming from someone who’s currently stuck in a rut and lacking motivation for a lot of things. I don’t *expect* things to be handed to me, though. I have Asperger’s Syndrome (or what I sometimes call it, “Super Asperger’s”, as mine is severe enough that it’s apparently closer to full-on autism; miss me with the new-age “autism spectrum disorder” BS, though), ADHD, an anxiety disorder, and a sensory disorder. Do those define me? Hell no. Should I get a trophy just because I have issues? Absolutely not. Should I automatically get everything I want just because I *want* to be better? Hell to the fuck no! You have to put forth effort in order to get places and earn things, dammit. That’s how life works-for all species in the animal kingdom. I can’t fathom thinking the way so many of these delusional people do nowadays. I think I’d rather feed myself to an alligator somewhere than ever join that appallingly entitled, parasitic school of thought, too. (Speaking of parasites, frankly, such people are insults to more traditional parasitic life forms: Even fleas, ticks, and leeches hustle a little bit. And at least they don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are. They also don’t screw things up for everyone else. It’s pretty bad when notoriously-repulsive leeches and ticks are more respectable than a lot of people these days. Nah, these bums are more like heartworms: they hatch, grow a bit, then proceed to suck the life out of everything around them.)
@@blairhaffly1777 What exactly are you trying to say? I can’t tell whether you’re agreeing or arguing. Because in many areas of today’s society (especially in America), the status quo is essentially that those positions *are* equivalent, and that they’re also equivalent to first place; nobody’s allowed to feel like they failed or fell short of anyone else anymore. Everybody’s automatically a fucking extra-special winner just for existing these days, and that’s what we’re taking shots at. It’s both ridiculous in concept and destructive in practice, breeding widespread complacency, entitlement, arrogance, and narcissism in the populace from early ages.
@Armaldo468 The talking point is weak in that the "participation trophy" phenomenon is overblown. Intense competition is available, even the norm in American sports across the board. The other one, "if you're not 1st, you're last" is simplistic and unhelpful. It's ridiculous to lump the whole field below 1st into one amorphous category. This is from the point of view of being in the competition, though. It was just a joke line intended to be absurd. It's weird to hear people treat it seriously.
In Nascar the starting grid is set by turning 2 qualifying laps with the fastest one setting your place. Taladega and Daytona are super speedways that are just a little over 2.5 miles in length. Drivers get close and draft each other over 200 mph.
People are saying these 2 together are great in Step Brothers, great recommendation. However, I'd like to throw one with John C Reilly in the lead in the same vein as this movie - "Walk Hard - The Dewy Cox Story"
if you go to one of these races, youll understand why. im one who was in the field of "its stupid, left hand turns?" it was dumb. until i witnessed one with my grandpa and dad, and then i got to see a full indi 500. now those cars. sound amazing. and the agility is terrifying.
I think the appeal of oval tracks is that they are fully visible by the audience. Just as in other track racing (person, buggy, horse, dog, etc) it's just the most economical way to turn a straight drag race into a long distance race while remaining fully inside the 'stadium'. And this is because there are only three spots the audience wants to see...the start, the finish, and where they bunch up and crash. Personally I enjoy more complicated tracks or tracks with changing conditions and complexity (I actually like rally a lot better because of this) but it's not as much of a captive central audience experience where you're forcing everyone to buy from your vendors, pay for proximity to the track, get as much from sponsor recognition, etc.
I totally agree with what you said about balding men. Most women (not all 🙄 before y’all start tagging me) prefer a clean bald head vs balding. A clean baldie & a well groomed beard looks great on just about any man. It even makes some men look younger.
The pole position Is determined by the Quickest racer to run a couple of laps by himself on a speed trial. Second fastest, the 3rd fastest are Put in line 2 by 24 or so racers .They have been clocked up to 221 miles an hour Especially at Talladega

I love Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds, and Darrell Waltrip in the booth for this movie. Because at the time, this was one of the 2 broadcasting crews for Cup races (the other being Bill Webber, Wally Dallenbach, and the late Benny Parsons). Also lots of actual driver cameos (Dale Jr, Jamie McMurray, Jimmie Johnson, etc.). While the movie did kinda cast NASCAR in a bad light, it also did lead to a slight ratings boost for a few weeks.
FYI: They live in North Carolina (as do pretty much ALL NASCAR drivers) but they race all over the country. So the movie doesn't entirely take place in North Carolina.
John C Riley is a fantastic actor and has done great dramatic roles, but is definitely more known for ridiculous humor. Boogie Nights was a solid mix of both. But Walk Hard is my favorite comedy of his.
There's an art to oval racing. I've been racing my whole life. I can confirm, it's 1000 times harder to win on an oval than a road corse. But I'm with you on the fan base, I don't understand how oval racing is popular. It isn't fun to watch at all.
If you’d been at Atlanta in the late 90s and early 2000s, you might change your tune. Some of the best racing I’ve ever seen. The issue is nowadays, it’s harder to enjoy races more and more. All the cautions, predetermined breaks in the race, and the elimination of the alternate strategies that used to be absolutely amazing to follow live at the track - all but gone. I still watch NASCAR because my dad and I forged our bond over it in the 90s, and he can’t get into F1 and IndyCar. I watch those series for the racing, I watch NASCAR for him.
@@kfizz21 I never found it fun to watch, but I have an enormous amount of respect for the drivers. Because it is incredibly difficult to stay that close to the edge for any amount of time. I'm not an f1 or indy car fan either really. Those fields stay too spread out. I'm more into touring cars, gt3, gte. Etc. Close road course racing is just my thing. 🤷
I couldn’t agree more with your pizza take. I absolutely love their Southwest eggrolls. That being said, I live here in Davenport of the Quad cities, and they have a restaurant here called grubbiez and they have Philly cheesesteak eggrolls that are phenomenal and then there’s another place in town called the office and it’s a bar and they have different style eggrolls like buffalo chicken eggrolls, taco eggrolls, cheesy potato eggrolls, then they have dessert options like apple, pie eggrolls, Oreo, cookie eggrolls, brownie, eggroll it’s amazingif you ever come through this region
You need to experience a nascar race in person to understand it. Yes they are just turning left, at close to 200 mph and inches away from other cars. And doing this in a 150° ferenheit car for 500 miles, sometimes more. Nascar drivers are some of the best drivers, and athletes, in the world.
The only reason he would have had to pay if he wrecked the car in his first race would be because he isnt the contracted race driver... At least that makes the most sense to me
Okay NASCAR does not only turn left, I wish more people would spread this info. Yes all the speedways and super speedways are left turn ovals or tri-ovals, but NASCAR does run races on road courses also, and for a long time. Like they will run Road Atlanta and Road America. In the past they were not as many races on road tracks and they didn't advertise them as much. I haven't watched NASCAR since I was a kid but I was gonna try and watch the 2023 season because they were gonna be running more road courses but I only managed to watch one race. Also uninformed people see basically identical cars all turning left, but all the cars are turned slightly differently based on the driver and each cars quirks to get it to handle right on each track. It is not easy to drive a paved circle track car at this level. The cars are constantly on the verge of sliding, specially on turns. Hence why what looks like very gentle love taps send them spinning out of control. Drivers also have to deal with the air flow coming off other cars and try to make it help them rather than hurt them. Also keep in mind the top series in NASCAR, the ones that you normally see on TV, are running anywhere from 150mph to 200mph on speedways. On road courses corning speeds can drop to 20mph pending the course.
John C Reilly & Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson, Chris Farley & David Spade, sometimes two actors just play off of each other perfect in comedy films 😂
Applesbees is the worst restaurant i ever eat at, no contest. that said theres no other restaurant that has $5 appetizers when my friend and i wanna drink and im poor, so i guess i cant say shit.
Didn't you just see John C Reilly in Gangs of New York?? They are incredible together! But i can say JCR can do any type of role no matter what it is. Will Ferrell not so much, he's best with just comedy. You are 100% correct about houses!! I refused to buy any kind of new construction garbage. My house was built in 1890, and all of the walls, inner and outer, are 10 inches thick.
If you wanna know Why, go to a live event get in some of the 1st rows and your body will feel the power When they say start your engines ..Almost orgasmic
If you love these two actors together in a movie, you MUST SEE "Step Brothers!" One of the best comedies I've seen.

to be clear, invisible fires are a thing and did happen to a Nascar driver back in the day. it doesnt happen often but its actually a thing.
Hydrogen fire is practically invisible under bright lights
Came here to point out how terrifying an invisible fire can be. Of course that wasn't the case here but terrifying nonetheless.
Not really in NASCAR but in Indy where they use methanol fuel which burns invisible, gasoline used in nascar doesn’t
Yes, methanol fires can only be seen in the dark... they burn blue and the daylight cancels out the blue spectrum.
Yup. Rickey was probably actually on fire and NOBODY believed him 😭😭💀
Step Brothers is my FAVORITE comedy, and their chemistry builds perfectly beyond this.

That being said, I live here in Davenport of the Quad cities, and they have a restaurant here called grubbiez and they have Philly cheesesteak eggrolls that are phenomenal and then there’s another place in town called the office and it’s a bar and they have different style eggrolls like buffalo chicken eggrolls, taco eggrolls, cheesy potato eggrolls, then they have dessert options like apple, pie eggrolls, Oreo, cookie eggrolls, brownie, eggroll it’s amazingif you ever come through this region
You need to experience a nascar race in person to understand it. Yes they are just turning left, at close to 200 mph and inches away from other cars. And doing this in a 150° ferenheit car for 500 miles, sometimes more. Nascar drivers are some of the best drivers, and athletes, in the world.
that fuel they use is such high octane that flame is invisible. its scary
Calling all of Chicago savages over pizza 😂
No one else said it in any other comment, but you should watch Step Brothers.
If you're going down the Will Ferrell rabbit hole, you HAVE to watch Anchorman, Step Brothers and Old School
The only reason he would have had to pay if he wrecked the car in his first race would be because he isnt the contracted race driver... At least that makes the most sense to me
The response the Power Donut triggers is exactly the point. They literally don't give a fuck about their hair.
They live in N.C. Talladega is just the big race he is getting ready for.
Do STEP BROTHERS, WALK HARD, and ANCHORMAN!
Okay NASCAR does not only turn left, I wish more people would spread this info. Yes all the speedways and super speedways are left turn ovals or tri-ovals, but NASCAR does run races on road courses also, and for a long time. Like they will run Road Atlanta and Road America. In the past they were not as many races on road tracks and they didn't advertise them as much. I haven't watched NASCAR since I was a kid but I was gonna try and watch the 2023 season because they were gonna be running more road courses but I only managed to watch one race. Also uninformed people see basically identical cars all turning left, but all the cars are turned slightly differently based on the driver and each cars quirks to get it to handle right on each track. It is not easy to drive a paved circle track car at this level. The cars are constantly on the verge of sliding, specially on turns. Hence why what looks like very gentle love taps send them spinning out of control. Drivers also have to deal with the air flow coming off other cars and try to make it help them rather than hurt them. Also keep in mind the top series in NASCAR, the ones that you normally see on TV, are running anywhere from 150mph to 200mph on speedways. On road courses corning speeds can drop to 20mph pending the course.
I went to the Winston Cup in the late 90s. It was really cool, for like 10 laps. Then the boredom set in.
With how you transpose the video on the screen, it looks like they made only right turns! 😂
17% is spot on sir
In the good ol days, you could smoke anywhere. Back when we had freedom in this country.
I don't like NASCAR. I love this movie. Shake and Bake!
SHAKE N BAKE!!!!!!!
Scrolled for twenty minutes looking for something good to watch, here we are.
John C Reilly & Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson, Chris Farley & David Spade, sometimes two actors just play off of each other perfect in comedy films 😂
Can’t seem to find it in your channel so you have to watch step brothers. One of my favourites
Dale Earnhardt jr, the random fan. Love it.
Applesbees is the worst restaurant i ever eat at, no contest. that said theres no other restaurant that has $5 appetizers when my friend and i wanna drink and im poor, so i guess i cant say shit.
Love your reaction to one of my favorite movies.
Great reaction to this classic comedy! 👍🏿
According to Nielson, the broadcast ratings expert it turns out a whole lot more than 180,000 folks watch these cars turn left just so you know.
A movie I use to determine if a new person and I can be friends. If you like this movie, then your OK with me.
Several movies together. Hurry and watch em lol
45:00 And yes It can be a thing, we just don't always say it out loud. 😂
Didn't you just see John C Reilly in Gangs of New York?? They are incredible together! But i can say JCR can do any type of role no matter what it is. Will Ferrell not so much, he's best with just comedy.
You are 100% correct about houses!! I refused to buy any kind of new construction garbage. My house was built in 1890, and all of the walls, inner and outer, are 10 inches thick.
I laughed WAY too hard at 17 out of 100 😂😂😂
If you wanna know Why, go to a live event get in some of the 1st rows and your body will feel the power When they say start your engines ..Almost orgasmic
I lived in Indiana my entire life home of the Indy 500 and I have never understood it in my life.
I don't see it mentioned in comments yet, but this is a parody of Days of Thunder, another movie you should watch.
I recommend Days of Thunder.
One of the best nascar movies.
