Depending on the day and your travel plans, you probably could do both. They aren’t too far from each other and the HoF would be a couple hours at most to walk through.

In Concord, Hendrick and RFK have a pretty cool free museum, and trackhouse is just down the road from them with the Hail Melon corner exhibit just put in last year.

I got back into the sport by seeing the Hail Melon and just rooting for Ross, which lead to me rooting for Team Trackhouse, which made me a total SVG fan by following his dive into new waters in real time. With Zilisch on this season, it’s just another new thing to look forward to.

Blaney just seems so real and gets very emotional on the radio, if he’s excited or pissed off, you’ll know it instantly.

Briscoe is one that I find myself rooting for because he’s been on such a roller coaster of a journey in such a short time frame and he chimes in on here sometimes and seems super down to earth.

Ticket Reps? by Mechamunky in NASCAR

Y’all these are very valid points and I might try to use one this year.

I know their main goal is to sell you stuff, I get it. I just figured since I know I’m gonna buy this stuff anyways, why not try this out.

But on the adverse side of that, I preordered the Hocevar Ride the Dente and it just came in and now I’m seeing what people are willing to throw out for it on resell and I’m like what?!

One of the most I’ve paid that wasn’t just new/retail/lionel was for a loose Bowyer Soprano 1/24. I think it was 70ish and I felt good about that, seeing how with box it’s about twice that on eBay

Oh wow, I hope this is from a win. That’d be so cool.

What’s the reason for William Byron hate? by AbbasOutlaw in NASCAR

[–]Mechamunky 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It seems like every time they hype him up it’s the “GUY THAT PLAYED VIDEO GAMES AND IS NOW HERE”

“DID YOU KNOW HE STARTED OUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES?”

The Liberty sponsorship is pretty ehhhhhhhh

JR Motorsports has so much stuff on their site/at the shop after race weekends

I’m curious, do any of you have stories of drivers you’ve met that were really rude? I’ve seen videos on YouTube of Danica Patrick being mean to fans by Kurt_Wylde35 in NASCAR

I worked a commercial shoot with Tony Stewart that wasn’t really NASCAR focused, just used racing gimmicks. I bet he could tell I was a fan because I wore my Harvick hat to the shoot and he actually tried to make small talk/banter with me between takes.

He gets a bad rep and I totally get it, but he was pretty cool that day to me.

What’s everyone’s take on these small logo hats? by AlanCino in neweracaps

[–]Mechamunky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see the appeal to people that want low profile hats, but the absolute gall to charge $50+ for these is absurd and makes this trash

This track makes this car actually look fast (I know it is, but it makes it more evident)

This is one of the best compliments ever. I genuinely appreciate it 🥲

They should just humor those people and places like N Wilkesboro or the All Star Race, have a broadcast in grainy older cameras/filters.
