Computer game inspires racing driver

NASCAR DRIVER Carl Edwards decided it would be a clever idea to try a trick that he learned from racing cars on his computer.

Edwards noticed that in computer games you could bounce your car off the side of the race track to get around a corner a lot easier.

Figuring that the games developers knew a bit about physics, Edwards attempted to defeat rival and two-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson by bouncing his car off a concrete wall in the same way he would in the game.

He told Kotaku that he planned on hitting the wall, but didn't plan on the wall slowing him down quite as much as it did.

"In video games, you can just run into the wall and run it wide open. That's what I did, but it didn't quite work out the same as the video game," he said.

Unfortunately he just crashed.

i played a nascar video game once and drove the entire race backwards until i killed every driver

maybe he can try that next time

I love the idea of him "noticing" you can bounce off the walls in NASCAR games, like he's playing one and he does it by accident, then thinks to himself "wow I think I just noticed something" and not telling anyone in case they catch onto his secret weapon. Like for that moment after he "noticed" it he probably felt like a genius, laughing away at all those fool drivers who don't bounce off walls.

this whole situation is fucking priceless

its like one of those jokes you say and in your mind never think it would ever come true

but thanks to the sheer stupidity of nascar and the south

it does

If this game was on the computer then I do believe I have that game.
I did the exact same thing

still not as great as the guy getting off on a pool pump and accidentally disemboweling himself.

Isn't that a short story or something? I need to find it.
