I drove the Charlotte Superspeedway several years ago. I did not get to redline in 5th but it was over 5500 RPM. The engine was screaming and the track mandated windows down so the wind noise was high. I don't know what the speed was. The track that three professionals go down door to door was only a foot wide to my mind.

I have zero desire to try to go faster in my car. I have a thousand time more fun taking a 30 MPH corner at 29.95 MPH at an autocross. THe infield track at Charlotte is fun, and driving the oval is a blast but just a bit intimidating.
