CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, members of Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) team monitor screens as NASCAR racer Jason Leffler with KBM prepares to drive his instrument-laden vehicle down the three-mile-long 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
