Definitely a different driving scenario... intersections, blind curves because of trees on both sides of the road... Mapquest map of the area in this piece:

Kyle Busch flagged for driving 128 mph

Doing speeds like that on a road of that description is a recipe for disaster because someone can pull out of their driveway or a side road into your path... if you are 100+ yards away when they look both ways, they may not see you or notice your closing speed from that distance unless they are a very astute driver.

Once they pull out, the laws of physics will determine what happens, and it's usually not pretty.
