Speaking of NASCAR and car design… Here is the first image of the 2013 Ford Fusion CUP car in team colors. This is a full scale clay model that will tour the country, visiting select NASCAR markets for the remainder of the 2012 season. I like a lot of things about this (versus the current car) but there are the glaring irregularities between this and the production model available to the public. (I don’t know why they still insist on calling it STOCK CAR racing). All in all, It’s a step in the right direction.

I experienced a near knee-buckling feeling last year when I happened upon Bill’s 1985 Winston Million car at Darlington. I nerded out, all alone in that museum for way too long.

Oh my shittles. My favorite stock car of all time is for sale on Ebay. $59,900 takes it home. OH. MY. SHITTLES. 1988 Bill Elliott/Melling Racing Coors Ford Thunderbird. This is THE Aerobird. This car was built in Dawsonville, Ga by Dan & Ernie Elliott. It baffled NASCAR techs. The Aerobird AVERAGED 212.809mph around Talladega speedway. ON BIAS PLY TIRES. Those tires are so archaic they don’t even make them anymore! Bill was lifting the throttle at the biggest track on the circuit. This car was fully capable of going 230+mph twenty-five years ago. This car was so ahead of its time. NASCAR tried to outlaw every facet of this car without bluntly outlawing the car itself but the Elliott brothers stayed one step ahead of them each week, eventually taking home the championship at season’s end. Now it is for sale! It’s not a roller like most of these old cars, it has a dyno’d Ernie Elliott engine under the hood. Oh my god, what I would give to take this for a spin down Prince Avenue. You know what? I would give a testicle. I swear to God. I wouldn’t even do anesthesia. I’m that serious.

Leaving for Darlington in a few hours. I’m so excited I’m shaking! I’ll be sitting on the start/finish line for the Nationwide race tomorrow night (ESPN2, 7:15pm). I’ll be standing on the track with the drivers for driver intros Saturday night (FOX, 6:30pm) and sitting at the start/finish line again for the CUP race. I’m thrilled! THRILLED! This is my favorite track on the circuit. It’s my first CUP race at Darlington. 11 year old me is totally jealous right now. Weeeeeeeeeeee!

I used to blast around town in one of these. Paid $500 for it, cut the roof off, spray painted it flat black and named her Betty due to the Betty Boop floor mats.
