Don't know how long it takes this guy to do these animations, but they are superb!
Bet most of us learn something we didn't know from this video.

Interesting but I had to laugh near the end when he said something about NASCAR making them more like production cars.

Jacob O'Neal's main business is creating educational and sales videos for corporations. Several of his animated videos have appeared on this site. This one certainly illustrates how far off "stock car racing" NASCAR has become.
Making videos of this type has become much easier with the advent of 3D modelling. It allows unrestricted manipulation of the subject in what is virtual free space.

Think what Smokey Yunick could do if he was still living today.

I think Smoky would have told them where they could put the whole thing years ago.
