NASCAR racing is a big time sport and a big time money maker. The stars of NASCAR are well paid professionals who get paid for their ability to handle at 35 hundred pound stock car at speed in excess of 200 miles per hour.

Before a driver gets the chance to compete on the NASCAR stage, he has to prove his talent by competing in one of the many other racing series around the world. In this clip Marcos Ambrose is running a race in his native Australia. It's not so much what Ambrose does with the car as it is what happens to the tire after it falls off the car in the middle of the track.

I'm sure Marcus will be hoping for better luck this weekend when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series hits the high banks of Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend.
