If you’re a sprint car fan, you’ve got to see this! (And if you’re not a sprint car fan, what’s wrong with you?) Mills Video Productions, the official Videographer of USAC, has released an outstanding trailer for their latest video, the 2006 USAC National Sprint Car Year in Review.

The link is available from the Mills Video Productions home page, and after you view it you’ll want to head right back to their site to buy the entire 2-DVD, 4-hour production. I did!
