Sniper 6,372 Posted February 14, 2020 There are actually two Trump/Pence sponsored race cars running this weekend. One tonight in the truck race, and one tomorrow in the Xfinity race. Check out these pictures: DAYTONA BEACH — Even before President Donald Trump arrives at the Daytona 500 on Sunday, race fans will see his name circling the track Friday night and Saturday. During Friday night’s NextEra Energy 250, Port Orange driver Tim Viens will be behind the wheel of a white, No. 3 Chevy Silverado with a Trump 2020 logo. Then veteran NASCAR driver Joe Nemechek will run the 47 car with the same pro-Trump message in the Xfinity Series race Saturday. Nemechek drives for Mike Harmon Racing. “I support the president. I support him and I’m gonna continue to support him,” Viens said, adding that the other benefit to landing the sponsorship is getting an opportunity to drive. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper 6,372 Posted February 14, 2020 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. —President Donald Trump will give the command for drivers to start their engines before the Daytona 500 on Sunday. That means he will deliver the most famous words in auto racing. “Gentleman, start your engines,” has been a staple of races around the world for decades. Trump is the second president to attend the Daytona 500. George W. Bush attended the race in 2004. Trump is the first president to be given an honorary role in pre-race ceremonies. https://www.wesh.com/article/netflix-delivers-valentines-day-gift-for-stranger-things-fans/30927403 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sota 1,191 Posted February 16, 2020 disappointed they didn't go faster, and put a 45 on the side. with the delay from the rain, I'm wondering if the Prez isn't trying to get himself a seat in the main pace car for the start. I would. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe something with defacing government property... Someone should have run up and slapped the sticker on it, buy they'd probably get shot by the S.S.

Bklynracer 1,263 Posted February 16, 2020 I heard them say that they wanted to put a 45 on the car, But the only thing allowed on car is the Flag and presidential seal. Great flyover. Hoping for a good Safe race. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sota 1,191 Posted February 17, 2020 I'll be curious to see if any cars have electrical issues. My understanding was they were getting ready to roll out when a "wall of water" hit the entire track. Those cars aren't exactly water tight. If they've been on pit road with nothing but a tarp over them, I bet some guys have some interesting gremlins for the race.

Maximus 16 Posted February 17, 2020 At one point during the rain, they showed an in car camera shot of Denny Hamlin’s car. There was water dripping from the roll bar in front of Hamlin. The gremlins were working hard. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they've been on pit road with nothing but a tarp over them, I bet some guys have some interesting gremlins for the race. I just said that a little while ago. Sitting out on the track, overnight with only a tarp, the moisture is really going to mess with the electronics. And the teams aren't allowed to touch the cars, except to change radios and check air pressures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1LtCAP 4,262 Posted February 17, 2020 doubtful. it's happened before. there's more electronics now that they've gone to fuel injection...but in all honesty, do you really think they overlook this possibility on a 250k race car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
