I know of the different sponsors, and was referring to the whole history of the Cup.

Before 1971 it was not known as a Cup series. Do you mean to include results back to 1949?

Gonna jump at the opportunity again.

What's the last time there has been a first time winner in 2 consecutive races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup?

Do you mean won-on first attempt or took first win... and are you limiting it to Sprint or NASCAR across its history? And you definitely mean "when" is the last time, not "what" :D

I'd guess 2011, there were 5 or 6 first-winners if I recall correctly?

Was looking for two drivers who got their first win in two consecutive races in the whole history of NASCAR's top division. :p

Oh, and 2011 was incorrect.

Charlotte, 05/27/07, Casey Mears won his first Cup race. The next race, Dover, 06/04/07, was won by Martin Truex Jr, his first Cup win.

Bingo.
 
I'll take it.


Not many Non-Scandinavian drivers have won Rally Finland, who are those drivers?

Um, is this a trick question?

Makinen, Hirvonen, Gronholm, Loeb etc. There's many.
 
Maybe he meant non Finnish driver s? Or maybe he meant non-Scandanavians winning Rally Sweden.
 
Actually I meant drivers that aren't Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian.

Ah, Scandinavia doesn't include Finland in the normal definition, but it can be vaguer ;)
 
So my guess is Loeb, Ogier and McRae.
 
Sainz, Loeb and Ogier are correct answers, but there are other drivers.
 
(Long time lurker in this thread)

Sainz won it in 1990, Auriol in 1992, Löeb won it first time in 2008, and Ogier in 2013.

The one you're all missing is the 2003 winner, Markko Märtin

Very good. You're next.
 
I'll let someone else go, I am the newbie here after all :)
 
The McLaren MP4-T5 was powered by what?

kinetic energy potential

Yep. No legs though.

Williams made one too, but as their soapbox only had 2 wheels as soon as they let it go it fell over.

Who let it go? Standing people? Pedant. :)
 
When did the F1 teams build soapbox racers?
