You can pick any career winless driver to give a top tier car to, from their driving era. They get a top crew too.
What driver are you picking, and at what track?

Anything cool around town or going on at the camp ground tonight?
If somebody one day decided to make a nascar movie of a certain decade or story what would you like to see it be about? I’ll go first i’d love for them to make a movie on the 1992 season so many big headlines and the kulwicki, elliott, allison, gant, martin and kyle petty fight for the championship also it was richard’s final season.
During Chase Elliott’s interview in the middle of qualifying, I noticed that the Hooters logo is back on the race suit. Looks to have been added later. I then went back to look and it does not appear to be back on the car.

Notes:
I thought this was an interesting part of the Moneylap podcast a week ago with Kligerman and Cassil discussing how driver weight and height is becoming an increasingly big deal as the cars get more equalized. Every driver has to "weigh" 200 pounds, so if a driver is under that amount they add ballast into the car to get the extra weight required. The ballast can be put low in the car and be used for a competitive advantage, meaning the lightest and shortest possible driver is ultimately an advantage.
With the cars being less physically demanding than in the past with modern features like power steering, there's really no need for a driver to have muscle strength, but instead they only need strong conditioning.
With how dominant Larson and Reddick as two of the smallest drivers in the series have been this year, you kind of have to wonder if a part of that is simply this size advantage they have.
Should NASCAR be looking into equalizing this out some by requiring the extra ballast to be put higher up in the car to negate some of the advantages of an undersized driver?

I'm going to preface this by saying that I understand that Cars (the movie) is obviously fictional and the racing depicted is not NASCAR (though does seem to be loosely based on it).
In the movie one of the cars (the green one) is shown several times smacking/tapping the rear quarters of cars on the track, causing spinouts, a pile up wreck, and one car to be in a serious rollover wreck. My question is, I know that some contact is allowed/expected/encouraged in real-life NASCAR, but is that sort of contact where you're spinning out cars and causing wrecks allowed?
The pit stand for the Furniture Row #78 and Martin Truex at Homestead back in 2017. Somehow I think some of his best days are yet to come...

She was a former Miss Sprint Cup who appeared in the Victory Lane celebration!
Wanted to ask this question after NASCAR jacked up the VIP prices RIDICULOUSLY for the 2025 season last month. Has Fan Rewards ever done a Black Friday sale within the two that it’s existed? I really wanted a garage tour at Pocono for the 2025 race weekend and then I wanted to save up for Truck Series Lime Rock tickets in 2025. If there is going to be one, it would definitely save all of our lives. Anything would be appreciated.
