It’s difficult to say who’s the cat and who’s the mouse in this video, but it’s a real hoot, and a representation of the kind of racing you hope for when you take the green flag.

Hunter Lydic starts from P2 with Russ Carter on pole. The two played cat and mouse with each other all race long — including side-by-side action for nearly a whole lap — and it’s interesting to see where each driver excels and gets the better of the other. We’ve shortened it here to highlight the best racing action. Ultimately, Carter comes out on top in the NASA Mid-Atlantic Camaro-Mustang Challenge race at Summit Point Motorsports Park in April. Enjoy.
