Found this on motorsportstv.com:

Sharp and Andretti Take the Dodge Intrepid on the Track (Chicagoland Speedway)

by Mike McCarthy

After the initial press conference and ceremonial laps, Sharp and Andretti piloted two new Dodge Intrepid street cars around the track, taking members of the media to see the oval from a driver's perspective.



After a few relatively tame laps, the racer in Sharp and Andretti came out as the speeds climbed, they began drafting, and then racing for position, all with three members of the media in each car for four laps apiece. Straightaway speeds reached 130 mph and corner speeds were 110 mph, all with street tires in a normal passenger car, with Andretti and Sharp no more than 12 inches apart at times through the corner. When the author of this article made some comment about needing a change of underwear, that motivated Sharp even more to put the hammer down in the next corner and drive about six
inches off the outside wall (next time I'll keep my mouth shut).
