There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

Stupid thing I noticed via the google machine.

In "TALLADEGA NIGHTS" there's a 1969 Chevelle driven by Ricky Bobby's dad. One stupid thing I noticed is that...the paint scheme is based on an old Smokey Yunick car.



Really I'm looking for an excuse to get Viking to go off about Smokey Yunick,. (Please do so.)

(Did you know one of his cars is very proudly displayed in the IMS Museum right now? :unsmith:)

fun fact, that's a 69 Chevelle and Smokey ran a Torino Talladega in 69

as usual, Hollywood is loving clueless

Bobby loving Unser ran said Talladega at Daytona I guess.

God that era was something else. In between the USAC V. NASCAR V. F1 V. IMSA that would take place at Le Mans, Indy, Daytona, etc and the aero wars? gently caress.

I think that's my favorite era of Cup to just kinda look at. Ford/Mercury V. Dodge/Chrysler just designing these BEAUTIFUL looking cars all trying to win the heart and soul of racing fans.

I'm sure every race will have some blank white cars that are being paid under the table by nascar to fill the field.

Series logo is a fuckin mess. New standalone NASCAR logo is pretty tight, though.

Yeah, emphasis on "NASCAR CUP SERIES" kinda confirms the rumors that they're paying a lot less than Sprint/Nextel were

New standalone logo is OK but I never thought it needed an update.

We're calling it indie now, to attract millennials. Arcade Fire is doing the anthem. Instead of the invocation, Neil Tyson will explain why god isn't real.

I agree with this completely, though I did like the patriotic logo they had between Memorial Day and the 4th of July.

(edit- The black "NASCAR" lettering on the white background is horrible. Just saw it.
