Belt-sander racing is the practice of racing belt sanders competitively.
 Belt sanders were one of the first power tools used in the growing field of power tool drag racing wherein a pair of stock or modified belt sanders are placed in parallel wooden channels and fitted with long extension cords. Each heat begins when a common switch or individual switches triggered by the racers energizes them, causing the sanders to race towards the end of the track spitting wood dust along the way.
 Both stock sanders and modified sanders race down a 75 foot long track.
 Sanders of all shapes and sizes can go very fast, or very slow depending on the power of the motor.
 The fastest time on a 75-foot track was 2.2103 seconds recorded by Dudley Harper's Sudden Death Racer of San Marcos, Texas.
 Sudden Death raced on that date at the Legends Raceway in Rockport, Texas.
 The peak velocity of that belt sander at the finish line was in the range of 50 – .
Daytona 500 pole position winners for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series's Daytona 500 are rewarded with being the driver to lead the field across the start line at the beginning of the 200-lap 500 mi race.
 Pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 is held one weekend before the race at the Daytona International Speedway.
 The driver to complete the fastest single lap in the final of three rounds in the knockout qualifying session around the 2.5 mi high-banked tri-oval superspeedway earns the pole position.
 The first Daytona 500 was held in 1959 and in 1982, it became the opening event for the NASCAR Cup season.
 The term "pole position" was originally coined in the American horse racing industry, and indicated the position of the starter being next to the "poles", which established the boundaries of the course.
 The two drivers who complete a lap with the fastest time are awarded the first and second starting positions for the Daytona 500.
 An additional 33 to 35 entrants are determined by a combination of the results of two qualifying races and the position of the team in the previous season's point rankings.
 The remainder of the 43 car field consists of drivers who meet certain qualifications, such as qualifying speed or being one of the previous NASCAR champions.
