So here's something I always wondered. The engines under the hood of these machines, are they actually made with manufacturer parts? Like, does Jimmie Johnson have a Chevy engine under his hood? Does Kyle Busch have a TRD engine under his hood? Or do they all just use a specialized racing engine where they just slap the sticker on even though no parts came from the manufacturer itself?

NASCAR's coldest race ever. 1990 Pontiac 400 @ the newly configured RIR.

This is the race that cost Mark Martin the 1990 Championship.

Hamlin's new hauler.....

I wonder what you'd see if you scanned that bar code.

Austin Dillons gift Carolina Panthers Cowboy Hats

Someone should tell Austin that Richard Petty perfected the cowboy hat look, and that he needs to stop being a poser.

Someone yank that hat off that Dale kid. Richard Petty wannabe

Nah, Dale's look was the mustache and sunglasses. Which is a very iconic look for him. Richard Petty had the cowboy hat.

I guess Austin Dillon has that stupid-ass **** eating grin? *shrugs*

Sonoma:

Are they going to keep the grass for the cup race? Or is it just a result of the season and weather?

The season. Too bad they don't have a spring date, it looks amazing.

I never knew a race track could be so beautiful.

Interview from Dale Jr. from 2003



He says that he trusts Teresa "100%" and that he never thought he would want to be a car owner. My how quickly things change.

Didn't Cup use to race in the spring, I remember seeing 90's races there with grass. Not sure when the event used to be held, but man, I wish they would run there earlier in the year, that scene looks amazing.
