I'm not a nascar fan, but I did the richard Petty experience at AMS once. After 12 laps at an average of 138 mph i couldnt wait to get out of the car, it will wear you out. its very hard to control and its extremely hot.Im in pretty good shape but I cant imagine doing that in the midst of what 40 other cars? at 200+ mph for 3 hours under the stress of knowing yo could get killed any minute. I think that they have to be atheletes to do what they do. The hill billy thing ? Sounds like a yankee a-hole to me. just sayin
