why do I feel like he thought he could increase the chance of getting it approved by just throwing it out there when in all actuality anyone who's ever seen NASCAR in action knows that pissing them off will do the opposite?

but since he is actually familiar with NASCAR, it kinda makes you wonder if his next move AFTER rejection is what he was looking at the whole time...

I am in a position where it's likely I'll have the opportunity to drive a chud-owned 410 sprint sometime in 2022, and I'm unsure how I'll handle the situation if he has any Trump/LGB poo poo on his car. My instinct is I don't want to be associated with that, and either insist on covering it or declining the opportunity. But it would be difficult to turn down a once in a lifetime opportunity over stupid poo poo like that.

That’s a tough spot, but if it’s an opportunity that could lead to better opportunities down the road for you if this a career you’re pursuing, might be hard to pass up?

I’m sure Mark Martin wasn’t exactly thrilled at the Viagra sponsorship at the time but no way in hell was he giving up his cup ride over it.

Also, as soon as I saw that car I immediately realized how many shitheads will be driving that scheme in iRacing.

Temporarily breaking away from Brandon chat for a minute, my friends decided they're not doing anything for New Year's Eve because catching Omicron doesn't sound like a good time, so I might fire up Winter Heat tomorrow night for those in a similar situation.

Well, in that case.

Today is New Year's Eve! But, because most people have said ":lol: thanks, I'm not ringing in the new year with Omicron", including my friend group who cancelled their NYE party, some of us are looking for stuff to do.

That means WINTER HEAT 1994 NIGHT 2, featuring the third Winter Heat 200 of the watchthrough.

TONIGHT! Mike Joy...drives a NASTRUCK. Buddy Baker...drives a NASTRUCK. And Glenn Jarrett...drives a NASTRUCK. And then some other guys become the first drivers to race a NASCAR Craftsman Truck.

Plus! Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Jeff Burton watch the last 80 laps of the 2001 EA Sports 500.

Approximate start times (final times pending Goon feedback):
9pm EST: NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Winter Heat 200 #1 (2:01)
11:05pm EST: NASCAR Throwbacks: 2001 Talladega (30 min)

And whatever other other random fun stuff you might want to add to the playlist. We've got some backwards drags we can burn off, too.

A friend of mine that looked into this told me that it was something like NASCAR told them the LGB or FJB stuff wasn't going to fly so don't try. So the team told NASCAR it was a crypto deal but conveniently left out what kind of crypto and NASCAR was like ok that's cool. Then it came it out it was LGB coin and NASCAR was like hey WTF we told you, you can't do that. But yeah now the guy is suing because he's saying NASCAR said they could run the sponsor and did a take backsies. Do I have that about right I don't care enough to actually read into it myself? Sucks for the guy to lose a sponsor, even if it was a lovely one. Money is money and when you're talking money and racecars you need a lot of it.

There was also some business about how the upload website has been offline all offseason, so teams are all just emailing different people. So the person they emailed was probably a paint scheme guy who wasn't aware that the sponsor hadn't been approved.

Brown and co. had reportedly been told in November that it was never going to be allowed near the track but go do what you gotta in your personal business

I really think they figured they could force NASCAR's hand... and you gotta be stupid if you think NASCAR'd take kindly to that

Thanks for clarifying you weren't just talking about the NASCAR drivers, I gave the benefit of the doubt there rather than just assume.

Allow me to reiterate that last part then, because other people do care. If something happens in the NASCAR world, it's going to end up in here. Sometimes it's political, other times it's not. Either way no one is going to give a poo poo whether you want to see it or not. Either offer offer something of substance as a different topic that's relevant or go find some other thread that has something you care to read.

Also, "Incessant sharing of updates"? There's been literally one post on him in the last 2 months, about a former cup driver getting demoted all the way to trucks. Anything else "political" for topics has been related to sponsorship shenanigans, or things NASCAR itself has announced. None of this is driven by "just sharing political things", it's poo poo we'd be posting about regardless of the driver involved, or whether the sponsor was themselves a political thing
