Nascar Driver Stuns to Qualify for Championship with GameCube Move

He is slowed down by the friction of the side of his car against the wall. And probably by bits of his car being torn away as it slowly disintegrates. But the engines on these cars are powerful and can easily overcome those effects.

They should add wheels on sides as well to reduce lateral wall frictions!

I'm not sure small wheels would really be an improvement, and large wheels would weigh a lot. So it's entirely possible that a smooth surface is actually the best approach here.

2 Skateboard wheels embedded in the bodywork, to touch the wall front and rear, and off to the races.
