Behold the Nascar hall of fame in all its glory. Make sure you read the captions at Business Wire.
"You will want to stand for a moment and mentally breathe in the view from across Centennial Olympic Park.

Because all those qualities are exactly what these guys are looking for when they go to a nascar event:
LOL!!!
the video on the site reminds me of 'i could show you the world'. so i'm already annoyed before i even see the presentation.
then i see that it's the same curvy cliched forms (here representing movement and speed presumably) that you see in aquarium design (water, flowy associations) and buildings trying to express music (melodic, flowy associations).

i meant the music on the video reminds me of...
