No. 9: When it comes to getting around tight corners in close-quarters racing, they say eight tires are better than four. Nobody said anything about, like, 50 tires.

No. 8: Amazingly, despite the fire under the hood, the M&M's still didn’t melt.

No. 7: Yes, this is an animated GIF, believe it or not. Your screen didn't freeze. Ryan Newman's red-flag snooze powered him to clinching a spot in the playoffs, apparently.

No. 6: Rest assured these are not the discount tires referenced on the No. 2 car.

No. 5: They say drivers use every inch of the race track, but if you're Joey Logano racing for the lead late in the race, that's not even the limit. Surely third-place Bubba Wallace hoped they kept going even lower.

No. 4: Playground equipment: Expensive. Requires maintenance and supervision. Adults can't use without breaking something. Climbing the fence at Indianapolis Motor Speedway: Already exists. You don't need to spend a Saturday building something. Fun for both kids and adults.

No. 3: When you check your Twitter mentions an hour after a particularly potent tweet.

No. 2: The moment you realize a Kevin Harvick win means a free Bloomin' Onion.

No. 1: Piper's got the right idea here. Kissing the bricks is the most timeless, gross tradition in NASCAR.
