NASCAR firepower storms the hill

For Immediate Release: Friday June 30th 2017

NASCAR is back at Goodwood for the 2017 Festival of Speed and even wilder than ever. A hillclimb course isn’t the natural habitat for a steroidal super-saloon more commonly found racing on ovals, but the drivers love it here and the fans react accordingly. Series’ veteran Brian Vickers is making his Goodwood debut this year driving the 2017 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet SS, while the ever-popular Mike Skinner will be trying to break the NASCAR hill record he set two years ago aboard his V8-engined Toyota Tundra. It’s going to be dramatic!
