I think he’s doing it for every podium. Or at least he was.

In Lemons racing, any amount you spend above $500 is applied as penalty laps at a rate of 1 lap per $10. That being said, sometimes the judges will turn a blind eye to particularly crazy builds or cars they just really like, or teams who bribe them with booze. Speedycop’s builds usually fit that bill.

I always understood Durant to be a generally well-liked guy

Fortunately, Larson’s roof flaps kept his No. 43 car from flipping over,

Dear Lord I hope we get at least one FancyKristen post from Goodwood. Even better would be if she did all Goodwood-related posts that way.
