2021 NASCAR thread

Much respect for Martin, much respect, just couldn’t cheer for a Ford.

 

Sterling Marlin.

 

Same guy... different era.

2002 should have been his year... had he not gotten hurt.

 

Pete Hamilton.

 

Man, those cars looks so cool, I would love to have seen those race.

 

Me too.

 

Awesome. Pete Hamilton is also who I was going to post.

 

The series Tony and Ray are starting, released the schedule.

Bill Elliott drove a race for Chip.

 

Fun fact, If I was racing a short track I would be number 39L in honor of my grandmother.

 

So... the fucking government canceled speedfest this year... yall read about that on the CRA series website?

 

That’s what everyone calls me, I’m too big to be just a zero. Just kidding, 00 is a favorite number of mine, when I was into basketball the Celtics had 00, 33, 44.

 

The article that I read said the local health officials recommended not to hold it, and the organizers decide not to host it. I won’t discuss my opinion on this or any other sports, but will ask why not just put all the racers in a bubble?

The only one in NASCAR to win with the number 39...

 

What the hell did he say? White, straight and conservative?

 

Here's one for you... and I had to dig deep for this one.

One of the reasons I'm enjoying this is I research car numbers a day or two before posting... so I'm learning new things about ancient NASCAR history. ( being 35 i only know real well 80s and up)

Turns out Lee Petty drove the 38 car forcone race in 1949. This was the only picture I could find of it.

 

When are folks going to learn that social media is bad, and you really can’t speak your thoughts any more. If you don’t think the right correct way anymore you need to stay in your hole away from the rest of the world.

 

Some people feel the need to post every aspect of their lives on social media. When you are a public figure , it could very well cost you you're livelihood. You don't have to express you're opinion on every topic.
