About the Lesson
Chicagoland Speedway is a 1.5 mile track with 18 degree banking on a 700 foot radius turn. The calculated average speed for a lap is 183 mph - however, drivers don’t care about average speed of a lap. They only care about lap times. During the race the lap times should fall off due to tire wear. Use the given data to investigate speeds and tire wear.
