what is the speed of the nascar pace car?
pit road speed
since nascar does not allow speedometers or electronic speed limiting devices, the pace car circles the track at pit road speed during the warm-up laps. this allows each driver to note the rpm at which pit road speed is maintained. drivers exceeding that speed on pit road will be penalized, typically a "drive-through" or "stop and go" penalty, costing them valuable track position.









































since mid-2004, nascar official brett bodine has driven the vehicle during official race functions during cup series races. other famous nascar pace car drivers include robert "buster" auton and elmo langley.

bodine currently works for nascar at its research and development center as the director of competition, r&d. he works on cost-cutting measures for the sport, the car of tomorrow program (now known as simply the "new car"), and he drives the pace car during all monster energy cup series events, except for those events with a promotional or celebrity pace car driver. even then, during races with a celebrity pace car driver, bodine rides shotgun and guides the driver through all nascar pace car protocols.
