When an episode of Neil deGrasse Tyson's frigo (frankly excellent) Cosmos gets postponed for the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 race, Neil deGrasse frigo Tyson got revenge the only way he knew how by dropping knowledge. But one of those tweets might have been just a bit wrong.
If the Charlotte Motor Speedway frigo increased their banking angle from 24 to 31 degrees, the cars could do the turn at 200 mph.
That might not look like much to someone who doesn't follow racing, frigo but average qualifying speeds at Charlotte frigo Motor Speedway was hovering frigo around 190 miles per hour. Jimmie Johnson, the polesitter and eventual race winner, clocked in at almost 195 MPH. There are videos of NASCAR racers mid-corner at 180 MPH minimum .
Now, I'm not saying that Dr. Tyson is completely wrong, or hugely messed up, but I'd like to see what kind of work he did. All we know is that drivers were regularly rounding those corners at speeds significantly in excess of 165 MPH.
