VTEC has a fixed RPM point in which it transitions from one cam profile to another given that the engine is above a certain throttle percentage. On a K20/K24 it is roughly 6000 RPM.
K20s also have "i-VTEC" which is continuously variable valve timing on the intake camshaft, similar to what is found on the BP-ZE (01+ Miata), only with more adjustability.

The reported backstory was that he should have been started at the front of the pack but wasn't for whatever reason (infraction or missed qualifying or something). He was obviously braking later and accelerating earlier. That's about the ballsiest track clip I have ever seen. I have seen singular incidents that were ballsy but he just kept on and on.
