Imagine 50 large American saloon cars thundering around a banked circuit at 200 mph. Only inches apart, every now and then a car touches another with often disastrous results. The hard men who control these monsters aren’t bothered if they do touch the guy in front because there's over $1 million in prize money awaiting the winner! You're imagining NASCAR racing - the subject of this programme. It's unique to America and its great to watch wherever you live. The 1981 event features several accidents - including two amazing 'lift-offs' and there's a look inside one of the cars and interviews with legendary drivers like A. J. Foyt and Cale Yarborough.
