IF YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE CORNERS SMOOTH AND NOT SPIN THE TIRES, ACCELERATE OFF THE TURN YOUR GOING TO BE FASTER THAN THE OTHER GUY.
Students don't mind the constant critique however, they paid about 27 hundred dollars for the three day lesson.
But in this day and age becoming a succesful racer is about more than going fast, a point Kristal makes sure isn't overlooked.

When Hendrick walked out of court last August his body was ravaged with Leukemia. In exchange for his guilty plea prosecutors dropped a conspiracy charge, 13 money laundering charges, and didn't push prison time for him.
He was fined $250 thousand dollars and told to stay away from his car dealerships and his Winston Cup teams.
