Byron Bell is the fastest driver in town
Byron Bell has been the fastest driver in town in every practice session, qualifying, and race. His five-lap average, which was the highest among qualifying session drivers, was the highest. He led 57 laps that stretch. Bell's race performance at Kansas has surprised many, including himself. He's had his car running smoothly all year but has been on a cold streak ever since winning the Martinsville race. His team has not lost speed and they can still rely on the driver's experience to win.
Chastain fastest driver in town
Ross Chastain from Austin was the fastest driver in Kansas with a P7 finish last Sunday. He started 18th but led the most laps and the second-fastest time. In March, he was third in the Las Vegas race after starting 18th. However, he still has a ways to go before he is the fastest driver on the strip.

Denny Hamlin is a three-time winner at the track, with two of his last five starts. He has finished inside the top five in eight of his last 10 starts, and is looking to bounce back from his disappointing performance at Darlington last week.

What kind of cars are used for racing cars?
Speed is the most important aspect for any race car driver. Speed is what makes them fast. They have to be quick enough to catch up to other drivers but also strong enough to hold on to the lead. This gives them an edge over other racers because they can easily overtake others at high speed and then pull away from them when they're not looking.
The fastest cars are usually very lightweight. This allows them to accelerate quickly and gain a lot of speed. This also means that they have less power, which restricts how far they are able to travel in a short time. Therefore, they must use energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These engines are identical to those used in passenger vehicles. These engines are powered by compressed air, instead of petrol. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.

How To
How to get around corners quickly
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means you have the responsibility of turning before any other driver. This will ensure that everyone behind you is unable to see what's happening ahead. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, understand where you are going. You will likely be surprised at where you end up. That's why you need to plan carefully. It's important to create a map showing where you're going at all times. While it might seem like a lot to do, having a clear idea of where you want to go will save you many headaches down the road.
Next, consider when you are going to turn. Start by going around the first corner. Once you pass the first corner, then you will know exactly where to begin. Now, you can decide whether to use the inside lane of the outside.
If you're planning to take the inside lane, you'll want to wait until there's no traffic in front of you. Once you have cleared the traffic ahead of you, then it will be possible to move quickly without worrying about hitting another person. You must keep the inside lane straightened once you have entered it. You must not drift back to the outside lane. If you do this, you might hit someone who is still moving slowly. You should also keep in mind that crossing the line dividing both lanes could cause your vehicle to lose control and make you vulnerable to crashes.
Once you have determined which lane to use, choose a point to turn. This problem can be solved in many ways. Some people prefer searching for a gap within the traffic. Some people try to find an opening in the road. Some others try to find a point where a road curves around a mountain or hill. It doesn't matter which method you choose, it is important to avoid blocking the entire road. If you do, then you'll end up causing traffic jams all across town.
Once you have decided where you want to turn, it is time to decide if you'll make a sharp right or a gradual left. A sharp turn will be easier than a gradual. It takes more effort and takes more time. It also makes it more difficult to properly steer your car. For these reasons, most drivers prefer to make gradual turns.
You must accelerate slowly enough to avoid hitting the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. Accelerating too fast will cause you to skid on the road. You could lose control of the car and cause a crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. Start with very little acceleration, and only increase it as you near the edge of the road.
Stop cornering immediately after you have finished. This is especially important in heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic can lead to someone being run over.
