What Should Go Into Next Year's NASCAR Throwback Race?
What Should Go Into Next Year's NASCAR Throwback Race?-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:39

NASCAR’s for the Southern 500 is one of the best one-offs I’ve ever seen in racing. Fans love the look back at the sport’s history, and it’s even prompted us to go down a rabbit hole browsing old photos of cool race cars. If this isn’t already going to be a yearly tradition, it should be.

Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of , but it’s pretty awesome to bring back all the old liveries, old commentators and polyester suits as a one-off. Shoot, I’d love to see other series follow suit! So, what would you like to see in next year’s throwback race?

Aside from the obvious answer of “Jeff Gordon’s rainbow car,” I’m kind of in love with this old Flintstones-themed Chad Little car. Cartoon Network! The timesuck of my childhood! How could it get any better?

What would you include in future throwback races?

(Yes, NASCAR. This is your very obvious hint that you should do this again next year.)

NASCAR’s Smart Fix For Its All-Star Race Could Actually Make Other Races Better
NASCAR used a vastly different aerodynamics package for the All-Star race this year, and the racing showed it. It went from the typical racing style of 1.5-mile tracks like All-Star host Charlotte Motor Speedway, which resembles a conga line full of folks who don’t want to touch each other, to...

See How Tilt-Shift Photography Makes Real Cars Look Like Toys
A friend sent me this video of car noises dubbed over little toys playing in a sandbox and I thought it was pretty cute. Then I learned, no, they’re not toys at all. This is just a very strange and interesting way to photograph cars, utilized in one of the...

Drones Chasing Drift Cars Through The Woods Is The Best Kind Of Madness
If you’re missing your daily dose of eye candy, the mad Latvian drift filmmakers at Robyworks—with the help of some drone racing friends—are here to help.

NASCAR Fan Pulled Off Charlotte Catch Fence By His Pants
Hold on, folks—we’ve got a climber. A NASCAR fan just had to get that perfect view (like the other views, only more likely to get you killed) from on top of Charlotte Motor Speedway’s catch fence during this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600, and that went just about as well as you’d...
