.@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 Qualifying speeds were 195. -
@jfcassidy@neiltyson@CLTMotorSpdwy is a scientific anomaly.

@neiltyson Not quite - turns out we astrophys. know strong force, weak force , electromagn. force & grav. force, but miss out on downforce.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I assume this is based on grip of tires & no downforce. Now that's straight, where's this embankment of which you speak? $#NASCARThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson If#science sponsored a#nascar and the car won more than lost; do you think the#biblebelt would let go of#creationism?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson unless those tires are matched perfect and staggered special...#DaysOfThunder@TomCruise#fictionThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I know a lot of 18 wheeler drivers in the Dallas Ft Worth area that could use a similar physics lesson.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson How many Gs is that? -
@jdanton@neiltyson Good question. What happens when a caution comes out too? -
@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.#yeehawThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson What embankment? Some scientist we have here....Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson your math is wrong. they were running over 165 mph. I think you had wrong friction coefficients as race tires are over 1.0Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
