Like a lap at 'Dega, but they were going the wrong direction.
It would be interesting to see how long that straight away was and what rear gear they were running.

I don't think that trucks are normally on a "test track."

It's a big track. Yes, the Corvette did pass a truck during the video. All sorts of vehicles are tested at the Papenburg facility - and not just one at a time.
