From The Mind Of @nascarcasm: Racing Imagery To Make You Laugh

Here’s the latest from our friend @nascarcasm, who has done some investigative reporting on the whereabouts of a certain marine animal in New England.

Says @nascarcasm:

On Sunday, the NASCAR world got some hilariously awesome news: Jeff Gordon said he plans to follow through on his pre-Richmond promise to regrow his 1990s-era mustache if he made the Chase.

Sweet. Fans and other drivers have teased Gordon about his former mustache for years, and now its return is in the works.

The NASCAR world is still abuzz over Tony Stewart’s helmet toss toward Matt Kenseth during Saturday night’s Bristol race, and now Stewart is receiving even more recognition – at least according to the mind of @nascarcasm.

@nascarcasm sent in this photo with the caption: “Big day for Tony Stewart in his home state of Indiana, as a fellow state legend gives him a very rare and prestigious honor.”

The Mars rover “Curiosity,” which has been sending pictures back to Earth for the last couple weeks, suddenly lost all communication with NASA on Monday when it hit an unexpected bump – at least according to our friend @nascarcasm.

In fact, @nascarcasm was able to obtain the last known transmission from the rover, and has shared the image below with the rest of us:

Our buddy @nascarcasm just sent this along. Seems even the latest Internet meme is going to have to change its attitude.

Just how impressive was Sunday’s finish of the NASCAR Watkins Glen race?

We just received this image from the anonymous satirist known as @nascarcasm, who apparently stumbled across this poster in the woods near Pocono.

@nascarcasm had this to say about his discovery: “This week at Pocono Raceway, the animal kingdom means business.”

Pssst! Hey Sam, over here!

After Sam Hornish Jr. caused a crash during Sunday’s Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland and blamed it on being distracted by his hood pins, @nascarcasm submitted this idea for a new pit sign that is sure to get the driver’s attention:

Our buddy @nascarcasm just dropped us a note to say he’s discovered Kevin Harvick is running for some kind of political office – at least according to this campaign poster.

Hope? That’s not Harvick’s campaign theme. Instead, a run-in with another driver at the New Hampshire Nationwide Series race appears to be on his mind.

Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 17 team received Daytona 500 championship rings on Tuesday morning in honor of Matt Kenseth’s victory earlier this season.

But the artist known as @nascarcasm didn’t quite feel they captured the essence of the race enough, so he added an appropriate twist:

The NASCAR world was rocked this week when Matt Kenseth and Roush Fenway Racing announced the driver would not be returning to the No. 17 Ford next season.

So what does this mean? It’s the OFFICIAL start of the 2012 NASCAR “Silly Season” -- the seemingly endless and oft-confusing period of speculation as to to which free-agent drivers will end up with which team next year!

Just received this from @nascarcasm. Sounds like a fun game, actually.

Satirist @nascarcasm claims to have caught wind of a new movie featuring brothers Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch.

Here’s the movie poster he submitted:

It was revealed Thursday that 90’s-rap phenom Vanilla Ice would be driving the honorary pace car for next week’s NASCAR event at Pocono Raceway.

While many scoffed at the idea, it’s unfortunately NOT the first time a one-hit-wonder of questionable talent teamed up with NASCAR – at least according to the mind of our satirist @nascarcasm.

Last year, Jimmie Johnson’s Anything With An Engine video game was released. It gave players a chance to race anything from recliners to lawn mowers to shopping carts.

But the game was missing one important element, which Johnson showed after his win Saturday night in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.

SB Nation’s @nascarcasm has obtained a still from Kurt Busch’s video statement addressing the pit-road incident last weekend at Darlington and the subsequent run-in with the No. 39 team’s pit crew.

While the video has not been released, we speculate it does not end well based on the image below:

Our satire expert @nascarcasm just wrote in to tell us he received the following press release today:

You may have heard a lot about debris cautions in NASCAR lately, particularly after Tony Stewart said the race-altering caution on Saturday night at Richmond was unnecessary.

Fans sometimes don’t see the caution-causing debris on TV, which can lead to conspiracy theories from those who desire to see the evidence – though NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton called those people “needy” on Tuesday.

This week, our satirist @nascarcasm has uncovered some exclusive information that shows NASCAR is modifying its “NASCAR Home Tracks” campaign.

See for yourself:

Our friend @nascarcasm – the anonymous satirist and graphic artist – just submitted his latest piece, which we think you will find pretty funny.

Says @nascarcasm:

According to our anonymous satirist @nascarcasm, things got worse for the No. 24 team while leaving California.

It seems a miscommunication while the plane taxied to the airport runway about whether everyone was on board led to more trouble for the gas man.

The anonymous satirist known as @nascarcasm is back this week with the latest in his series of NASCAR images. @nascarcasm says:

BREAKING NEWS: NASCAR humorist @nascarcasm has obtained this exclusive photo from Victory Lane. Here’s his caption:

Our friend and satirist @nascarcasm is back this week, offering up an exclusive image of Carl Edwards’ Daytona 500 car.

The mysterious @nascarcasm says he obtained this photo of the revised No. 99 car after learning Edwards would attempt to please all of his many sponsors for the 2012 season in one shot. He also credits the Twitter account known as @TheMiniChad for the idea.

It seems the anonymous NASCAR satirist known as @nascarcasm is concerned about SOPA, and he submitted this image today with the potential consequences of the legislation in mind.

If SOPA were to pass, @nascarcasm could no longer create images such as the one below.

Man, it’s been a crazy offseason. It seems like every single day there’s been some sort of breaking news regarding driver movement, crew chief changes or sponsorship.

It’s left NASCAR reporters like me to wonder: ‘When will we get a break?’
