About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – 2008 Daytona 500 winner Ryan Newman learns more from Gordon Coffey, NASA systems engineer, about the crawler-transporter behind him. Standing 20 feet tall, the crawler weighs 5.5 million pounds unloaded. It has 16 traction motors of 375 hp each and only travels 2 mph unloaded. Newman is visiting Kennedy in honor of NASA's 50th anniversary and the 50th running of NASCAR's Daytona 500 in February.
