CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASCAR racer Jason Leffler’s instrument-laden vehicle is being prepared for its three-mile-long drive down the Shuttle Landing Facility runway. The operation is part of Kyle Busch Motorsports’ 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
