A squirrel in Atlanta felt the need for speed on Sunday night. The critter dashed across the track during the Oral-B USA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kevin Harvick narrowly avoided flattening the fearless furball, while Brad Keselowski was later able to confirm that it was in fact a squirrel and not a cat, as Harvick previously stated. Honestly it’s hard to distinguish one from the other at those speeds.

 

Our team knows all about such things as our Greg Tracy almost got up close and personal with a marmot in the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution II on Pikes Peak last year.
