Okay, so I got curious about how fast those NASCAR trucks actually go. I mean, we see them zooming around the track, but what does that really translate to in terms of speed? So, I did a little digging and testing of my own. Here’s the breakdown of my little adventure:
My “Research” Process
First, I started by just checking to see what’s been said about truck speeds. I figured, someone’s gotta have the official numbers, right?

Then I try to find some real-world examples. I wanted something more concrete than just numbers on a page.
Putting It All Together
So, after gathering all this, here’s what I ended up with:
- Top Speeds: I found that these trucks can hit close to 200 mph on some of the bigger, faster tracks. It depands on the tracks.
- Average Speeds: This is where it gets trickier. The average speed during a race is much lower.
Finally, it’s really impressive that it’s all about hitting that sweet spot – pushing the limits without going over. That’s what I got from my little speed investigation!
