That 24 still gets me a bit emotional months later
I might find someone who has the Homestead race run 1/24th and trade one of my Rainbow 1/24th's for it, my Martinsville Race Win 1/24th should be arriving to my house sometime next month
 
So earlier today on reddit people were asked to think of a possible situation that would happen during the chase, here are some of the responses

Oh reddit :lol:
 
I put it right up there with a White Girl last year that declared A School's maximum Mexico Night "Racist" (all the while, none of the Mexican students had a problem with it)
Or people convincing others that they should be offended by something because it moves a political cause (some of the Redskin advocates).
 
Saw a post on Facebook about it yesterday. The caption read something like "Chase Elliott's new paint scheme is so bright, you almost need shades for it." I just sat there and thought, sure it's a clever use of the sponsor, but it's a black car with a bit of orange, white and purple. About as bright as Hamlin's cars. You wanna see bright, go look at one of Paul Menard s cars.

Or look into the actual Sun. It'll likely be the last thing your eyes see :p
 
The blue use to be much darker for STP before the Petty sponsorship came together and the compromise with Petty wanting his blue to remain on the car.
 
Which doesn't mean anything when it comes down to the condition of Ricky's car 20 laps in.

As odd as it may sound, that hasn't been the case this year.:odd:

All the pre-Petty cars I could find were solid red.

Edit: Apparently Kenseth's spotter has healed enough to return the track. :cheers:

I've seen one STP logo that didn't have a blue border on it which I assume is the original logo, and the rest were dark blue up until the Petty deal, I believe. Everything after the #43 STP became famous was the STP logo with a lighter blue on it.
 
Been a pretty boring weekend without any NASCAR going on. :( Days like this, and the off-season of course, makes me realize just how much I appreciate the sport and watching my heroes do their job. Even though NASCAR isn't what it once was when I fell in love with it way back in the mid 70's, I still love it anyways. 👍
 
Stenhouse has been doing good this year? I guess when he cut the mullet off he became all business and less party into a wall. Good on him though.. it only took him until his 4th full-time season to get it straight.
