At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASCAR racer Jason Leffler with Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) drives his instrument-laden vehicle back from the three-mile-long drive down the Shuttle Landing Facility runway. The operation is part of KBMs’ program to test aerodynamic and real-world capabilities on one of the flattest surfaces in the world.
Racing teams have been using the runway for testing since 2008. KBM signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA to use the facility’s runway. Photo Credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
