1,320'

Frontman Dave Mustaine said that this is, "a song about nitro fuel funny cars (something I enjoy)."

The song's title refers to the length of the standard drag racing strip, which from the starting line to the finish line is 1320 feet - exactly a quarter mile.

Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover commented to Kerrang!: "I remember hearing the riffs for this tune from Dave's 'Pandora's box of metal riffs.' Knowing that this song had to be on the record. I really like the overall punk vibe the song has (I was a huge hardcore punk fan back in the day – Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Cryptic Slaughter and the lot; I still am to this day) and I knew that a big sector of our fanbase would dig this song. Like I have said previously, Endgame covers a lot of musical ground in metal and '1,320'' is just another example of that."
