qglover+FollowThe King vs. France: NASCAR’s Hemi Ban FalloutRemember when The King, Richard Petty, was forced out of NASCAR in ’65? The infamous Hemi ban wasn’t just about engines—it was a power play between Bill France Sr. and Chrysler that sidelined Petty after his Daytona dominance. Petty’s drag racing stint with the “Outlawed” Barracuda was a wild detour, but tragedy struck, and NASCAR felt empty without #43. France eventually caved, and Petty returned to reclaim his throne. This rivalry changed the sport forever! #Sports #Racing #NASCAR70Share
Jason Smith+FollowBubba Wallace’s Nerves Hit New Gear for KurtEven after racing in the Daytona 500, Bubba Wallace says nothing compared to the nerves he felt drumming on stage for Kurt Busch’s Hall of Fame tribute. King James might rule the court, but Bubba owned the spotlight—barely! The real highlight? Kyle Busch roasting his brother Kurt before giving props. This moment showed just how deep the 23XI Racing bond runs, with Bubba stepping up for his mentor in a way fans rarely see off the track. #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share
lisa79+FollowDale Jr. & Chase: NASCAR’s Funniest Ad Ever?Anyone else remember that legendary 2015 NAPA commercial with Dale Jr. and Chase “The Kid” Elliott? Dale Jr. just shared it again, and honestly, it’s still comedy gold. Watching Junior hype up those wild Chase Elliott merch ideas (that garden gnome!) while Chase looks ready to bolt is classic. It’s cool to see how their mentor-rookie dynamic shined, even off the track. That ad proves why the NAPA-Elliott partnership is still going strong! #Sports #Racing #NASCAR30Share
qglover+FollowDarlington Throwback Weekend No Longer MandatoryBig news for NASCAR Nation: the iconic throwback paint schemes at Darlington are no longer a must for every team starting in 2026. While the Lady in Black will still honor its legendary past with parades and alumni, teams now have the choice to run tribute liveries—or not. This move comes after last year’s Goodyear 400 saw only half the field sporting throwbacks, and some fans weren’t thrilled with the execution. Is this the right call for the sport’s future? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share
Jeremy Campbell+FollowNASCAR Execs vs. The Rocket Man: Still Not OverWow, the fallout from last year’s NASCAR lawsuit is still rumbling. Richard Childress (aka The Rocket Man) isn’t letting go of those harsh words from top NASCAR execs, especially after being called a “stupid redneck.” Even with the charter deal settled and Steve Phelps stepping down, Childress made it clear in his latest interview—he might forgive, but he won’t forget. Do you think this rivalry could flare up again if NASCAR leadership slips up? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR10Share

Roger Franco+FollowGolden Arches Exit: No McD’s for Chase?Tough news for the Elliott faithful—after decades of iconic moments with 'Million Dollar Bill,' McDonald's is officially out of NASCAR, leaving without ever backing Chase.
