• Turner Motorsports / Burger Time: How hot does it get in a race car? Turner Motorsports drove their BMW M6 to a fine 2nd place finish in the Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona July 3rd. Riding with drivers Hand, Auberlen and Dalla Lana were a few burgers. The question is, would a ride in the drivers compartment cook the burgers? They may be a bit overdone.
