NASCAR drivers stumped by New England towns


NASCAR drivers have impeccable vision, exceptionally fast reaction times and incredible endurance to compete for hours on end in 130-degree heat.

But when it comes to knowing the names of some Massachusetts cities, they didn't exactly pass with flying colors. New Hampshire Motor Speedway put together a video with different NASCAR drivers - including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano - testing their pronunciation skills of various New England towns.

And it's hilarious - mostly because their explanations for why they got them wrong are pretty creative.

Even Connecticut native Logano couldn't contain his laughter for his total inability to properly pronounce "Peabody," a town about 20 miles north of Boston.

"You people in the North talk different," Mississippi native Ricky Stenhouse Jr. said when it was finally over.

But NASCAR fans loved it.
