Full Throttle

I should be so adventurous at this age!

Belle Swinford loves NASCAR. Like any other fan, she watches the races on television every weekend, always rooting for her favorite driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Week after week she delves more into the sport that first attracted her just a few years ago. She watches the cars speed around the track, and just before Easter, she got a little closer to the action than she ever thought she would.

What started out as a joke ended with the 90-year-old grandmother in a car going about 165 miles per hour around the Talladega Superspeedway.
