Science of Cars

Ever wondered how race cars work? What makes them stick to the track during fast turns? How they optimize the shape of a car for the best performance? What about how they keep the driver safe in the event of an accident? Now there’s a great way to learn about all of that – check out the new Science360.gov website. The National Science Foundation teamed up with NASCAR to produce some great videos about what makes NASCAR work – check it out!
