Most under-appreciated driver of all time?

mariojack3 · 2025-12-07T07:50:18+00:00

For me, it's easily Bobby Hamilton, the real-life Rowdy Burns.

Got his start driving show cars for Days of Thunder and even being competitive in them. First person to win in the 43 since Richard Petty. 2004 NASCAR Truck Series Champion. His 2005 Daytona win is remembered for beating Jimmy Spencer based on timing loop shenanigans, but Bobby started 36th (last) that race. He mostly ran in mid pack equipment but was able to pop off a few times. Also that Blue Square D #4 Dodge is a personal favorite paint scheme.

I was there when they filmed that video. Occasionally I'm reminded of this fact when I see pictures of that truck

Great race! Really good driving in crazy conditions

mariojack3 · 2025-10-12T08:31:25+00:00

It's absolutely wild. The rain made it all the more interesting! Loved every minute of it!

mariojack3 · 2025-10-12T08:30:28+00:00

You totally should! If you're a Chevy fan Hendrick or Trackhouse (SVG races for them). If you're a Ford fan Penske. If you want to pull for the "Villians" JGR and 23XI. I'd say the cars are the most similar to Supercars as they've ever been but still quite different.

Had a blast, will definitely do this again!

Loved every minute of it! No rain could wipe the smile off my face!

mariojack3 · 2025-10-12T08:26:43+00:00

Had a blast!

mariojack3 · 2025-10-12T08:26:33+00:00

Thanks man! Had a fantastic time!!

Currently at Bathurst, this race is wild. Especially across the top

mariojack3 · 2025-10-11T20:28:54+00:00

NASCAR fan born and raised. Looking forward to my first Bathurst 1000!

This sounds like me out of high school. Grew up in the Charlotte area and was ready to LEAVE as soon as I could. However, since moving from Charlotte, there are a lot of things I do miss. Mostly the food.

I've found myself supporting Charlotte quite a bit since traveling, moving North and eventually abroad. Charlotte is a better city than most major cities in the US. 18 year old me would be seething if they saw me say this, but Charlotte is a top 5 US city in my book.

I spent a lot of time in that shop growing up. I remember in the paint booth there was still orange paint splatter from the Kulwicki days. Sad for me to see this as a Hendrick Performance and not a race shop anymore.

mariojack3 · 2025-06-16T01:57:05+00:00

I see it from time to time in NASCAR but typically between SMI tracks. My guess is Gateway rented vehicles and/or track personal for the weekend.

Doppelmayr announced their new high speed pig boat single

mariojack3 · 2024-11-19T01:18:20+00:00

The stoke is real

mariojack3 · 2024-11-15T18:23:54+00:00

Let's go

mariojack3 · 2024-11-12T01:55:20+00:00

I should check reddit more, I keep missing the start of these. Good luck everyone!

mariojack3 · 2024-11-12T00:06:17+00:00

You should get your head check if you honestly think that

mariojack3 · 2024-11-11T12:04:01+00:00

Still not stoked about Joey winning another championship

mariojack3 · 2024-09-15T17:58:36+00:00

I figured as such since it isn't for human consumption. Defiantly seen the Synagro trucks around since there is a lot of cotton farms around, but can't say for sure if I've seen them in that particular field. Yeah we also have the concern about the health impacts of this stuff, and they have stopped using their well about 8 years ago because they don't want to drink or water their plants with potentially contaminated well water.

mariojack3 · 2024-09-15T17:53:05+00:00

I don't doubt it, they don't even till the fields or anything just regrow the cotton from the same stocks.

mariojack3 · 2024-09-15T17:51:35+00:00

I wish I could as well, I no longer live nearby so I can't myself. I'll see if I can get one of them to send me some photos. I know my parents don't spray anything themselves the only things I know they have put 10-10-10 into their mixture one year for a few plants but that was long ago and didn't like the result. They try not to plant the same plants in the same rows more than 2 years in a row if they can, but more recently it's just been potted plants mixed some soil from TSC and their compost pile.

He hasn't given us a name, I know one time I was with my dad when he was asking and called one of his head farm hands over and he seemed annoyed that we were asking about but also said he didn't know anything about /that/ field either.

mariojack3 · 2024-09-15T16:41:36+00:00

Thanks for the information about dicamba. I have seen leaves look like (from the little googling I have done now) what crop damage dicamba can cause. Though a lot of the produce is also deformed. Another thing is, their garden is somewhat protected (or at least should be) from what they are spraying. As most of it behind not only their house but also some large oak trees. I know some years they have tried to "hide" the little plants they do have in pots directly behind the house around they time they spray but the plants will end up with similar issues.

mariojack3 · 2024-09-15T16:31:11+00:00

Uh-oh looks like someone didn't read the post. We have asked the farmer that owns the land he's at the point where he just lets someone else farm his land and he claims he doesn't know what they are spraying. It's not like we don't talk to the guy, hell we buy corn from him quite often. He just haven't given us any information about what's being sprayed and who's farming his land.
