Engine power is constrained at superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, which reduces the speed of the cars. Teams use aerodynamics to gain an advantage due to the constraints. They adjust the cars to minimize drag, and driver's use the technique of drafting. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.

Jennifer Keyes began her NASA career as an intern and then a co-operative education student in 1999. In these programs, she worked on projects in atmospheric science, subsonic aerodynamics, and space exploration. Currently she is an aerospace engineer working as a systems analyst for the Office of Strategic Analysis, Communication, and Business Development at NASA Langley Research Center. In this role, Jennifer supports the senior leadership team as the lead for strategic governance and business development. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.
Aeronautics is the science of flight as well as the theory and practice of aircraft navigation. Any machine that flies through the air falls into the field of aeronautics. This includes helicopters, airplanes, as well as space vehicles such as the SpaceX Dragon and the retired NASA space shuttles. Aerodynamics is a branch of physical science which deals with the motion of air and the way that it interacts with objects in motion.
