Tunnel Running a 900BHP NASCAR!

The Stig’s secret subterranean lair is the perfect place to make a lot of noise with a lot of noisy cars. Welcome to Top Gear Tunnel Run.

In the sixth episode of our series, our tame racing driver welcomes a full-fat, no-nonsense NASCAR racer.

This one is a Dodge Charger that raced in the Cup Series – that’s NASCAR’s top tier – and was driven by former champ Kurt Busch. With 900bhp from a 5.9-litre V8 in a car weighing about the same as a Ford Focus, it’s the real deal. Beware: its angry, bassy V8 vacuums the air from your lungs at full revs.

Join The Stig, and host Becky Evans, to not just hear a NASCAR race car, but literally feel it too…
