NASCAR Sent Their Best Driver To The Deadliest Track... And He Got Destroyed!

NASCAR sent one of its biggest stars to prove Bathurst wasn't that scary. He got destroyed. 16 drivers have died at Mount Panorama — a public road in Australia that turns into one of the most brutal racetracks on Earth for a few weeks a year. No runoff. No gravel traps. Just a concrete wall a hand's width from the racing line and a mountain that drops 174 meters in elevation. When Daytona 500 winner Austin Cindric finally made the trip to test himself against it, the result shocked everyone — he finished 21st, then 23rd, in a 25-car field. And he's not the only one. Two more NASCAR champions, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson, both talked about making the trip… and both backed out before they ever got the chance.
