12 - NASA Astronaut Doug Hurley: NASCAR from Space

Glorious White-Knuckled, God-Fearing, Spun-Out-And-Half-Turned-Over Racing Stories

Imagine watching a NASCAR race at 17,500 mph. Seeing the world below you that appears just as small as it is far away from the life you know. NASA Astronaut and NASCAR fan Doug Hurley lived this reality for months aboard the International Space Station.

This week's Glorious White-Knuckled, God-Fearing, Spun-Out-and-Half-Turned-Over Racing Story takes you out of this world with space shuttle pilot Doug Hurley. Hurley, a long time NASCAR fan, details his life living on the space station, keeping up with NASCAR from above, and the history making missions that he has been a part of.
