The conservative wheat belt hell-hole hates Colorado for legalizing marijuana. Cursed be the soul who tarnishes the innocent, pure minds of a Kansas auto racing audience.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Long should've made the car #40 and put a small "2" between the 4 and 0, kinda like how Robby Gordon's Red Bull car in Mexico was actually the "8.3", the ounces in a can of Red Bull; the decimal point was the aiming point for the jack.

This reminds me of when they couldn't put beer sponsorships on Racing Champions diecasts because it would corrupt the minds of The Children or something.

Was Boudreaux's Butt Paste Carl Long as well or Derrike Cope? (Lookin' at you here, LASTCAR.)

I remember the 1/24 diecasts like this being literally the entire stock at Walmart in the 90's because none of them sold. I seem to recall even in the last decade one with "Brad" instead of "Lite" that was super cheesy.



This blog has an interesting analysis of historical alcohol/tobacco censorship in cards/diecasts, I found it interesting. https://thedriversuitblog.com/2013/09/07/nascar-sponsorship-and-children-sailing-the-censorship/

It was the same way in video games (might still be, haven't played any new Nascar title).

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.


In Nascar heat evolution you can get the lite and budweiser schemes and of course in forza you can get custom ones.

Call me crazy, but I kind of liked the censored diecasts. I liked the logo for Larry Hedrick's team on Craven's car, how the L and H were threaded together to form a 41. Maybe it's why I'm more partial to teams than drivers.

NASCAR stripping the sponsorship is better press then them ignoring it and no one even knowing weedworks was a thing.

around and around we go
Some pretty dishonest views of what happened in here. They didn't get sponsored then have evil evil nascar rescind it. Carl Long himself admits they didn't know who the company was because it was misspelled as like "veedworks" or something and he thought it was vapory. He admits himself that if he'd realized what they do, he wouldn't have accepted the deal because nascar would have never accepted it.

i had no idea that these huge logos i put on my car and were approved by nascar were about weed because they used a dastardly V instead of a W! oh well, announcing my new sponsor for next week, the Mazi Party.
