Concept

NASCAR

NASCAR is a type of car racing that happens mostly on oval tracks in the U.S. The cars look like regular cars but are specially built for racing.

Concept

24 hours of limits

The '24 hours of limits' is a long race where cars drive for a full day, and the goal is to go as far as possible in that time. It's a test of speed and endurance.

Term

full course caution

A full course caution means all the cars have to slow down because something happened on the track. It's a safety measure to keep everyone safe while they fix the issue.

LIVE

They raced it on the NASCAR track in New Hampshire,

and you have never seen faces melt like those NASCAR flaggers.

They had no idea.

There's 50 campers in the paddock.

It's a race weekend for 24 hours of limits.

And Saturday morning, there's 100 cars come on the track,

start circulating, waiting for the green to drop.

So you have a full course caution, 100 cars circulating,

and all of a sudden, the green drops and everybody just goes.

And I pull on track in this pop-up camper.

It looks like a pop-up camper, and you only

saw the two side wheels that I had put on.

Just like a regular camper.

I had made a breakaway hitch out of flimsy aluminum.

You could have broken it off by hand,

because I don't want to spear somebody's gas tank with the

tongue of a trailer.

But it looked the part.
