All Of The Hilarious Burns Texas Motor Speedway Publicly Served NASCAR Drivers This Weekend
All Of The Hilarious Burns Texas Motor Speedway Publicly Served NASCAR Drivers This Weekend-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:18

Texas Motor Speedway pulled the equivalent of bunny ears in the class photo on nearly every NASCAR driver who walked its stage this weekend, and it was like taking 40 trips to burntown each day: When the track a driver, a snarky joke about them would pop up on its giant television screen for fans to laugh at.

NASCAR pre-race ceremonies start with a round of driver introductions, where those running the race walk out on a stage and are cheered for (or booed) by the crowd. Introductions are usually generic from track to track, but Texas Motor Speedway —and did, by owning almost every driver who walked out.

In the interest of full disclosure, I was on pit road during driver introductions. It’s impossible to hear what’s going on at the stage on the front stretch from there, so I didn’t know that driver introductions were such a show until I got home and my fiancé read a Reddit thread about all of the burns Texas Motor Speedway handed out during them. But, thankfully, they weren’t any less hilarious after the fact.

I reached out to the track, because I had to see this for myself. Here are the introductions from Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race courtesy of Texas Motor Speedway, if you want to watch the fun for yourself:

But it wasn’t just Sunday when Texas Motor Speedway burned everybody. The track did this for all three races over the weekend, and here are some of our favorites, sent verbatim from the track and explained by yours truly if you’re unsure of the context:

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series

Denny Hamlin used some of his math skills in after he spun the leader (and probably the new fan favorite) Chase Elliott at Martinsville Speedway. He said he’s “raced nearly 10,000 races” since he was 7-years-old, which would average out to 345 races a year. Hm...

The Twitter apology didn’t help too much, because the crowd at Texas Motor Speedway thundered with boos for Hamlin on Sunday. (That was the one thing I could hear from pit road.)

It’s always good to be No. 1 somewhere. (Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Danica Patrick date each other.)

They’re talking about Hamlin.

Subway dropped Daniel Suarez’s sponsorship after he played along with an NBC television segment and . Subway referred to the dropped sponsorship as due to “circumstances beyond [its] control.”

In other words, breaking the #brand rules is more punishable than breaking, uh, !

.

Jokes about come almost as easily as going ka-boom.

Update, as of the following week: . We all knew that already.

Here is . Please enjoy.

Only 40 drivers make the Cup Series field every week, so 51st would be very bad. Ouch. This poor dude is just trying to race some cars.

This , but .

Maybe Americans shouldn’t be so quick to use colours as names.

.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series

He’s No. 11 like Hamlin, get it?

Carl Edwards, the guy who did backflips, .

They’re just setting this guy up to be unpopular for life.

Christopher Bell cut in front of teammate Erik Jones in a couple of weeks ago and took the win away from him. They didn’t seem super happy with each other afterward.

.

Thankfully I have avoided that with the last name of “King.”

Maybe the competition was tough.

The burns are bigger in Texas, aren’t they?

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series

They’re making a joke about .

Just .

This is a continuation of the other joke.

Well, it’s a good thing he’s a fan, because he probably didn’t make any the day he to win.

Now that’s just mean.
