Quentin Tarantino, a NASCAR novice, was treated to several laps in a stock car Saturday that left him speechless at Bristol Motor Speedway.

"Yeah, Baby! That's what I'm talking about!" the eccentric director is said to have yelled after several seconds of silence. "That was incredible.

"I didn't 100 per cent know what to expect when I got here. I was very open to be intoxicated, and I most definitely was", he added

Tarantino wanted to attend a race and was encouraged by a friend to choose Bristol.

He took a ride with TNT commentator Wally Dallenbach, who drives a celebrity around the track each week as part of his Wally's World segment.


"You're not going to whine after this ride like Lisa Marie Presley, are you?" Dallenbach asked during the warm-up laps, recalling the fact that the singer has complained he has intentionally tried to scare her during a ride.


"I'm all good. I don't have to worry about nothing. That part that was in the wall, that was the bomb. I wanted a lot of wall time and Wally gave me the wall time", Tarantino said.

The Kill Bill filmmaker made plans to take a lesson in the Richard Petty Driving Experience at California Speedway, and possibly attend the race.

"This is, in one word - adrenaline", the director concluded.
