The final four drivers are now set to compete head to head in the NASCAR Cup Series championship race on Nov. 6: Joey Logano, No. 22 Team Penske Ford; Christopher Bell, No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota; Ross Chastain, No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet and Chase Elliott, No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.she accepted a new jobThe group included athletes such as Bellator MMA featherweight fighter A.J.
Drivers had to keep the car within white pieces of tape on the track, unless Jarrett was passing on the high line, where he was giving ride-alongs at much higher speeds than the rookies on their maiden voyage. A driver could take the car to the bottom of the race track only with the spotter’s approval.
According to the instructor in the drivers’ meeting, the top speeds folks usually hit while driving in the experience typically reach 115-120 mph.
