What is Spire's connection to Hendrick? Bowman, Elliott, and Larson all raced for Spire and the Spire truck ran a Hendrickcars.com livery but I cant seem to find a business/official connection between them or maybe im just dumb

It is but it’s not a big deal to most people. The most that it matters is people dislike Toyota for not being American.

Yeah they have really watered down the manufacturers with the last few iterations of cars so that they almost all look exactly the same so it doesn't really matter. It doesn't even matter to most of the owners except the big 3 for each manufacturer, Hendrick/Chevy, Penske/Ford, Gibbs/Toyota. Most of the smaller teams will just run whoever they can get the most support from though I doubt Roush would ever leave Ford nor Childress ever leave Chevy. Tony Stewart made such a big deal about keeping partnered with Chevy for all his teams when Gibbs switched from GM to Toyota I never thought he would switch, especially since his Cup program was getting Hendrick partnership help but Stewart/Haas has been running Ford for what like 5 or 6 years now? Honestly I kind of miss the days of teams complaining about aero advantage because of the nose of this manufacturer over that manufacturer and whatnot and now all 3 manufacturers have to fit the same templates.

Most of the drivers don't even have sponsorship identity or even number identity since so many of them jump teams now so it's basically you find a few drivers you like and you just follow them wherever they go and hope for the best.

I always tell friends getting into NASCAR if you truly dont know who to root for just wait for the next race and pick a lucky number or the number closest to your bday. It's just fun to root for someone, doesnt really matter who

Fun fact Toyota has more American employees than Chevy, and almost as many as Ford. So maybe the cognitive dissonance is too much.

Still, good to know.

I liked the 23XI drivers, and I respect Denny. Joey seems like a weasel and Ross seems like a guy who would fight you in a bar after he drank too many shots of Jack. He gets points for the video game move though, I remember see that clip and it’s what honestly got me wondering what was going on in NASCAR.

a good chunk of toyotas are made in America too, so its always been a silly argument. Even if they were all designed, made, and manafactured in Japan, for me (a Chevy/GM fan) that would be awesome, an opportunity to compete and show American cars are better.

I think Toyota joining wouldnt have been as upsetting for fans if brands like Dodge hadnt left.

Im torn on 23XI personally. I hate Denny but I love Michael Jordan.

Lot of people are really divided on Ross but if you like a guy willing to make dumb decisions and race everyone around him like it is the last lap every lap he's your guy. Larson is similar but he gets a lot of poo poo here for some pretty crappy behavior online a while back. Personally I like them both.

Bubba is a very charismatic and likeable driver but he's hard on fans because he kind of sucks. Lots of almosts and could have beens with him but he seems like a legit great dude.

Reddick is kind of a low key rear end in a top hat of a driver, he stays pretty well under the radar mostly but he won't hesitate to stand up for himself on track even if it pisses people off.

Logano and Hamlin, as painful as it is to say, kind of represent an older guard of driver these days. They've both seen and done it all and really don't have any patience or tolerance for bullshit. Logano is also one of the funnier interviews out there.

Blaney should be everyone's answer for a new driver. He's a very talented driver from a racing family, born in NC, hilarious interviews and just generally getting poo poo done here in the last two years. He can also grow one of the most amazing mullet/mustache combos in the garage, probably only second to SASCAR thread favorite Stenhouse (otherwise known as Wrecky Shithouse, Breakfast Steakhouse, that rear end in a top hat, and Danica's ex-boyfriend).

This a very informative and good post.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Oldsmobile and Buick only ran Cup until the early-mid ‘90s, and for a few years it was just Chevy, Pontiac and Ford. It’s been at a weird point of stasis for some time, and I’d honestly be surprised if anyone hated Toyota because of the Japanese heritage instead of the teams running them.

Also it was much more fun when GM had four brands competing.

It sounds like Logano cut holes or removed fabric from his left glove so it wouldn't have as much drag when he stuck it out the net to signal he is going to pit

Completely insane behavior
