Not Ranked
My fastest was just a little over 200mph. The NASCAR driver Brad Kesilowski has a foundation called the Checkered Flag Foundation (checkeredflagfoundation.org). His foundation brings wounded veterans to watch his races and hang out with him (when he's not busy preparing for the race). Notice that when he wins races, he grabs an American Flag for his celebratory burnouts, not the checkered flag.
On the Monday following his Sunday race, he takes all of the vets and their spouses for hot laps around in one of his specialty NASCARS he had made (with passenger seats) for his foundation. I went to Talladega last year, thanks to his foundation, and Brad drove me around on a hot lap going 200+.
Oh, and it didnt hurt that he happend to win that race last year. Going to victory lane, meeting El Capitan, getting sticky from the celebration, and hanging with Brad's sister for two days made for an amazing experience.
