The #44 has looked strange to me in the Petty font since I first saw it in the opening montage to NASCAR Racing 2, but yes, I agree about the change as I'm irrationally OCD about car numbering.

I just wish Hendrick would've kept the 25 for Chase because it'd have been nice to see that number back and drat, was that whole paint scheme good.

They've already done a ton of photos with Chase and his #24 chevy. It'd be kind of weird to change it now.

Haha, yeah I did a double take on that one too.

I had no idea there were people other than myself who were rabid nerds about Middletown, but here we are. The last 20 years has been hard as gently caress watching my second home basically dying of cancer, but 2014 started a turnaround (well 2010 ESW and Friesen's antics helped) that picked up incredible steam through 2015. Now OCFS is considered one of, if not the, best track for mods there is in terms of competition, car counts and prize money.

It's been loving wild to watch and in this era it's a complete anomaly for a track on death's door in a built up area to not only survive, but turn around and thrive. loving amazing.

Whoops! From Jayski (lol), a bit of box art showing the #9 as the #44. Wonder who has the #9 now?
I'd like to think that Richard Petty disowned Kyle, and adopted Brian Scott as the true heir to the Petty empire.

I'd also like to think that Brian Scott will grow a moustache, get a cowboy hat and boots and emulate Richard Petty in every sense, ala Junior in Smokey and the Bandit.

Brian wrecks a car, Richard calls him a sumbitch, everyone laughs.

I've been watching Cup races from 1998 this offseason and tweeting updates with the driver's handles.

From what I'm hearing from people there, fat dude is a Tulsa cop. Drunk as gently caress, been there all week harassing Tony. Smoke is in the stands signing autographs and dude is in the vicinity, so Smoke calls him out. Then the video picks up. If that's true, management dropped the ball big time, but Tony looks a bit better.

Of course it's on CNN and he's a rabid murderer who charged the stands in a roid rage.

I saw another upload of the same video titled something like Tony Stewart Confronts Fan After Getting Flipped Off so whatever happened it sounds like Tony was goaded into that reaction one way or another.
