NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski talks the technology illusion up to Sprint Cup Series title

, Nov 9th 2012 Discuss [10]

We had the opportunity to chat briefly with NASCAR driver and contender for the upcoming Sprint Cup Series title Brad Keselowski on the perception that NASCAR is devoid of technological innovation – and how false that perception is. As it turns out, for those of you unfamiliar with the way a driver interacts with his pit crew, there’s been a massive amount of new technology appearing in NASCAR racing over the past few years. The driver is part of an experience now that’s not just based on how well he or she can drive a car, but how well they’re able to make use of the many technologies around them. NOTE: Our own Vincent Nguyen will be heading down to the pits at the Sprint Cup AdvoCare 500 this weekend – check below for details and watch Keselowski LIVE right along with us!

Red Bull Stratos supersonic skydive live: Felix is falling!

, Oct 14th 2012 Discuss [9]

For those of you not already watching the live video feed of the Felix Baumgartner jump from space down to the planet in a Red Bull stunt for the record books, now’s a good time to start – he’s jumped! This jump had been cancelled earlier in the week due to weather conditions then postponed for the same reason, here working with conditions that allow the jump to go on optimally (so far) straight down from 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters above the ground. If all goes as planned, this mission will break more than one world record, and will be more than just a little bit of a good PR bit for the Red Bull brand.

All of us here at SlashGear were excited to watch Felix Baumgartner jump out of a balloon 23 miles above the surface of Earth earlier today, but sadly, the jump was called off due to less-than-stellar weather conditions. We were thinking that the jump would happen tomorrow as a result of today's delay, but it turns out that isn't happening either. The Red Bull Stratos Twitter account just announced that the jump has been pushed back once again, because weather conditions won't be much better tomorrow. Read The Full Story

Red Bull Supersonic skydive a go [UPDATE: Delay for today!]

, Oct 9th 2012 Discuss [0]

Today is the day that Felix Baumgartner was originally meant to jump out of a pressurized cabin being carried by a balloon up 23 miles above the surface of the planet. This jump is already a record-breaking jump even before he lands, with 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters between him and Earth breaking a record that’s existed for more than 50 years. This jump that’s being sponsored by Red Bull also has Baumgartner breaking another record – he’s becoming the first human to break the sound barrier in freefall – that’s an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour. UPDATE: The jump has been delayed for today on account of gusty winds, cancelled until tomorrow at best. Seeya then!
