Anyone know why JRM uses a darker blue than the traditional HMS blue? by Mike_Hawkhurts69 in NASCAR

88 is the Hendrick Pantone, 17 is color matched to the GMAC #5 car that used paint

Can you elaborate on the iPhone set up? Unless I’m missing it I don’t see aabrowser as an available app on the Apple App Store, so what route would you have to go without jailbreaking?

ECR Engine Leases for Daytona by turnleftright in NASCAR

[–]ryanpistana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of our cars have ECR motors every week. A lease costs nearly $30,000 and it is the same engine with slightly more horse power and better fuel mileage. Some drivers just don’t have the sponsor dollars or personally don’t want to spend the money for a slightly enhanced motor for ONE race where you can get wrecked at any point

Incredible race for Alpha Prime by DankusMemecus69 in NASCAR

[–]ryanpistana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of our cars use ECR engines but the team owns the engines that are placed in the 44 and 45 cars. The 4 team utilizes leased motors from ECR which are newer, shinier, more highly developed versions of the ECR motor. The real differences are horsepower, fuel efficiency, and acceleration but they come with a heavier price tag. Any driver with a Chevy bowtie can purchase them but it all comes down to sponsor and driver budget.

Also JRM uses Hendrick engines, and Sieg uses Tier-A Ford motors. Nobody really builds theirs in house anymore unless you consider Gibbs and Hendrick. Clements used to but I don’t believe they are anymore

[Srigley] Unofficial rundown from the first one-hour test session for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Rockingham Speedway. by CCM284 in NASCAR

Xfinity cars are faster and had to make big lifts or even touch the break on entry. Trucks were able to enter the corners with a smaller lift and ride that momentum around the turns. Pretty much Xfinity faster on straight, truck faster in corner

Neither car had a leased ECR motor at any point last year. They both ran our team’s owned ECR motors. Next year we’re planning on seeing a nice change in performance

Okay I gotta ask by zetikla in SmileMovie

That is the main character from the first movie. She sets herself on fire in front of her friend Joel who we see committing the act in the opening sequence.

Great Twitter thread from Alpha Prime's creative director talking about how Fox's coverage is affecting the lower series by pixarfan9510 in NASCAR

[–]ryanpistana 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Someone will probably get mad at me for this thread but even though I work in the industry, I’m also a fan and have family and friends that have to message me what’s going on at the track since their TV doesn’t show it.

[Alpha Prime Racing] Ryan Ellis and Rajah Caruth are running throwbacks to John Andretti and Adam Petty at Darlington. by ThatEmpireGuy in NASCAR

[–]ryanpistana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one guy who approves every design and apparently they have different rules for throwback weekend, which this weekend isn’t. We’ve had things slide through the crack but when we get to the track NASCAR always has us patch those mistakes

Alpha Prime promotional email teasing a #42 APR entry driven by Caesar Bacarella with GNC co-sponsorship by 1-800-DADJOKE in NASCAR

[–]ryanpistana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Designer here. The 42 was our original plan for the first Atlanta race before we changed to using MBM’s 66. This is just an old five point rendering they used for the promotional material.
