Carl Edwards tried this in the 2009 Nationwide race at Montreal when it was raining.

Tell that to the Audi R18.

I just moved to Texas and everyone was telling me how much I’ll like having no draconian laws in such a small-government red state. The only thing I’ve noticed is they make everyone poke holes in their front bumper cover to put an ugly license plate on it. It’s the most draconian thing I can think of that affects my…

No, no, no. If I don’t want one, no one else could possibly buy it. Don’t you see?!

Is that one on the left some kind of rear wheel steering shutoff?

They exist to protect the consumer, don’t you know?

He was on a podcast with Marshall Pruett and talked at length about that experience. There was definitely racism surrounding his presence at the Daytona 500. Even after he won, there was racism.

Let me go talk to my manager...

I think the reason that it came out “King Hiro” is that the team Fittipaldi was driving for had started using a “vox” setting on their radios, which would take a second to start transmitting after picking up a voice.

When he raced in the Daytona 500 for Holman-Moody, Mario Andretti faced a lot of problems with racism in the paddock and the media. Even during the race he was held up on pit road by his own team (basically a factory Ford effort) because he was a teammate to Fred Lorenzen, the good old boy that Ford really wanted to…
