Total Beast Of A Driver Does 600-Mile NASCAR Race, Then Runs 14 Miles
Total Beast Of A Driver Does 600-Mile NASCAR Race, Then Runs 14 Miles-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:41

NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Landon Cassill not only finished the whole Coca-Cola 600* last night at Charlotte, but he ran to NASCAR Hall of Fame afterwards, exactly 13.92 miles away. Dude is a beast.

After getting out of the car, Cassill donned a pair of running shorts to start stretching and run the half-marathon distance into Charlotte, N.C., proper. That was far from the start of his preparations for the run, however. According to his , he consumed 500 calories and 150 ounces of water prior to the race/run combo night. Additionally, he’s an avid triathlete as well as a vegan, and his normal training runs takes him 30 miles per week. Training often takes up 15 hours a week.

Cassill’s graphic also points out that the race itself was no slouch. In addition to being the longest race on NASCAR’s calendar, Cassill expected to burn 4,000 calories from physical exertion on race day and experiences up to 3G in forces on his body in the car.

Per Cassill’s tweet , the entire run took him exactly one hour, 41 minutes and 49 seconds, with an average mile time of 7:19 and an average heart rate of 155 beats per minute.

Granted, this run was somewhat of a promotion for Cassill’s primary sponsor, Snap Fitness, as well as for the NASCAR Hall of Fame itself. That being said, I’d much rather see drivers do insane feats like this than hock shampoo or for the company that pays them to race.

All I usually want to do after getting out of my car is annoy the officials, drink water and loaf. Going on a half-marathon run afterwards is the best kind of insanity.

*: While Snap Fitness said 614 miles in their tweet, Cassill only managed 576.5 miles, per Pibbs says once you go Swede’s . Cassill finished the Coke 600 . Still, that’s more than I’ve accomplished all year.

Rubbin's Racin' And Pushin's Shovin' For Angry NASCAR Racers In Iowa
Ryan Reed was not happy with Ross Chastain driving him into the wall during the green-white-checkered finish of last night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race. The two exchanged stern words and pointed fingers after the race, but it’s safe to say that a different finger was implied in Reed’s post-race push....

Rahal Wins At Honda Indy 200 And More People Gotta Watch This Stuff
There’s a kind of understanding, a kind of awareness you reach whenever you watch racing live that you never really get just from watching TV. It’s happened to me at Formula One, MotoGP, most sports car series, and now after covering the race at Mid-Ohio, I get IndyCar too in...

Was This Driver Really Told To Push His DTM Competitors Out Of The Way?
Was This Driver Really Told To Push His DTM Competitors Out Of The Way?
Did Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich really instruct driver Timo Scheider, “Schieb ihn raus!” (or “Push him out!”) over the radio during yesterday’s Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters race? Dr. Ullrich claims that he was on a different channel than Scheider, but the TV edit looks pretty bad. Here’s the...

Kenseth Wins NASCAR Race After Everyone In Front Of Him Runs Out Of Gas
To say that today’s Sprint Cup Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway was chaotic would be the understatement of the year. After racking up seven cautions in the first 72 laps alone, the race ran long and nuttier than usual. Watch how it ended: with cars everywhere dropping like flies...
