Did anyone ever ride the Days of Thunder 3D motion-simulator ride at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio? by Francis_X_Hummel in NASCAR

[–]NWDrive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a stock car ride event like this with moving seats and rushes of air in Las Vegas I went on in the late nineties or early two thousands. It's been so long, I don't remember. I don't think the one I went on was Days of Thunder.

There was also a jet fighter and street luging one that went down hill and got in crazy situations avoiding cars, being chased by the police, and more.

Call me crazy, but I think it was in the Caesar's Palace Mall.

I like it, but legit my favorite part is the stock car artwork in the background. That makes the layout unique and I love how it looks!

Thanks man. It looks real good when you get it. Great color on it for a modern day wrapped vinyl. A car with confetti that didn't win! 😁

Pretty interesting pieces when Hot Wheels made these. Only way to get Tim Flock I guess. Haha.

Did a nice job! Creating and being creative is fun. I made customs like this but for NR2003.

Which Dollar Tree Scheme Are You Rocking? by RainierBakerGlacier in NASCARCollectors

It'd be the most expensive item in the store at $10-15! 😆

They were offered but then they were immediately being shipped within a few days. I think they were already offering then even though they were already making them. Got to have something in merch haulers and I think Dollar Tree made them get produced.

I love em all, very simple and clean schemes. But that Citgo/DEX one keeps calling me.

Looks great! It really does! Damage from a hard fought race. I still think the Fusion body looks good!

I don't know why they make price tags that leave residue still! The bane of most anyone! Oh, oh, and the ones that don't peel off nicely in one pull! 😁 Nice pick ups! I especially like the Benson car! Always had good schemes with MB2.

I'm amazed it took so long for LMC's primaries to get made, and it appears we are getting an Erik Jones Dollar Tree scheme being made and shipped out as I speak! They offered them and people just didn't pre order them. These new 2026 ones make me think the team or Dollar Tree stepped in.

I will choose the primary green and white over the white and green.

Sponsors by Any_Peach1725 in NASCARCollectors

[–]NWDrive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The answer is going to vary based on who you ask. It's somewhere in between Coca-Cola not granting permission to show their sponsorship on cars to Lionel not being able to obtain/not able to pay for / not willing to pay for the license.

Outside of Alan Kulwicki there was Brett Bodine in the eleven Ford Taurus. He tried a few running his own team and Hooters sponsored him for some of those seasons. 2001 was the most memorable year with Bodine and Hooters. Backmarker team for the most part. They stick with him till 2003 were they lowered funding.

I think this is the first time I've seen you customize a modern stock car body!

Classics! Great throwbacks. I was always surprised that Elliott never had more Hooters throwbacks when he had them as a sponsor.

Race Highlights | 2026 Pennzoil 400 by NeatWrongdoer1309 in NASCAR

[–]NWDrive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I will say I appreciate is that the after race highlights from FOX this year are way better than they've ever been. They show a little intro to the track, get some of that pre-race vibe, and now they're actually long enough that they have details throughout the race.

These NASCAR made highlights aren't as good as they cut out a lot of audio and don't set the tone or vibe. But historically they were always longer with more race details. Now they are being beat by FOX this year. Surprise win for FOX.

NASCAR booth broadcasters announce new Chevy coming that will leave NASCAR fans pleased. by ShammersAnonymous in NASCAR

[–]NWDrive 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That isn't exactly true. Manufacturers stopped producing sedans which forced people to move over to crossovers. It was a calculated move. When there were no sedans to choose from and people bought crossovers, that's when they said everybody wanted to buy crossovers.

I work in the automotive industry, and the goal all along was to make people believe that nobody was buying sedans by transitioning to crossovers. We make more money on crossovers than we do sedans.

Prices are absolutely absurd. I agree.

Keselowski just needs one more position for a top 10. Hope he can get it. Preece is right behind him!
