    If you travel faster than 165 mph on the 24-degree bank turns at Charlotte Motor Speedway you will skid into the embankment.

        .@NeilTyson we love that you’re looking into the physics of NASCAR. Any chance you’ll share your math so our engineers can check this out?

        @neiltyson Not quite - turns out we astrophys. know strong force, weak force , electromagn. force & grav. force, but miss out on downforce.

        @neiltyson I assume this is based on grip of tires & no downforce. Now that's straight, where's this embankment of which you speak? $#NASCAR

        @neiltyson If #science sponsored a #nascar and the car won more than lost; do you think the #biblebelt would let go of #creationism?

        @neiltyson I know a lot of 18 wheeler drivers in the Dallas Ft Worth area that could use a similar physics lesson.

        @davezapcic I think he's discounting downforce, as I think max corner speed is a little faster, but I won't question. :)

        @neiltyson these guys can go faster than 165 in a 24 bank turn because of their faith in our lord and savoir Jesus Christ. #yeehaw

        @neiltyson your math is wrong. they were running over 165 mph. I think you had wrong friction coefficients as race tires are over 1.0
