Well, it’s time to give myself a little bit of challenge for today’s car number in the countdown to the Daytona 500. Instead of putting the spotlight on a driver named Jack with the most Cup success in the #47 (Jack Smith, who has twenty-one career wins), I’m going to direct the attention to [...]

We’re at #48 in the car number countdown to the Daytona 500.

Merry Christmas to everyone from Onebadwheel!
May all your stockings be filled with something NASCAR and your hearts ablaze with the love of family and friends.
I hope y’all have a great holiday season and take time to enjoy the gift of life.
