Darrell Waltrip has the ride of his life down under

NASCAR legend Darrell Waltrip has seen and done it all in his racing career, that is until he got to ride shotgun in a V8 Supercar this past weekend. Waltrip was down under in Australia to call the race for the Bathurst 1000. 

Waltrip strapped in with Jason Bright, driver for Team BOC, and took a lap around Mount Panorama. The "track" is actually public roads, many of which have homes with gates just off the course. The course is 4 miles long and its highlights include a varying degree of incline throughout. 

Starting at the start-finish line, the track is generally viewed in three sections: the short pit straight followed by a tight left turn into the long, steep mountain straight; the tight, narrow section across the top of the mountain itself is the second section and the concluding with the long, downhill section of Conrod Straight, with the fast Chase and the turn back onto pit straight.
