Learn About the Game Speedway Showdown – Junkyard Wars
Crews from NASCAR, Indy and NHRA dig through piles of scrap for parts. They have ten hours to weld engines, shape body panels and hook up wiring. Each racer must handle a quarter-mile sprint, a winding road course and a half-mile oval. The clock never stops while they build a car that can win.
Engines roar as cars launch down the quarter-mile straight. A five-lap run on a twisty circuit pushes drivers through tight corners. A ten-lap showdown on the oval track wraps up the test. Teams earn starting spots based on their times in the first two heats.
The challenge blends fast thinking with hands-on engineering. Mechanics cut scrap metal and tune brakes under pressure. Racing turns into a lab as each weld and bolt affects speed. Teamwork drives every build toward the checkered flag.
