Just thought I would show the scenes with KB's and Greg Biffle's cars, since the movie was shot in 2005, the cars are actually their 2005 Paint Schemes.

Very unfortunate news, been a part of this car over 25 years

if Kasey Kahne went with the Dodge crew, they could have ran the throwback or something.

Scott Riggs in the 25 truck sometime this season it would be a nice surprise

After Hamlin's Actions Detrimental comment, I got curious whether the money actually buys speed. So I picked 10 O'Reilly drivers, looked up who's on the car and whether it follows them team to team, then compared it to their 2026 results through Charlotte.

Seat prices for context (Brad Perez, FanAmp): $40K to $45K a race for a car running 25th or worse, $100K to $150K a race at JRM or Gibbs.

2026 average finish, lower is better:

Sammy Smith: 12.3 (sponsors followed him from Gibbs to JRM)
Brent Crews: 12.4 (no family money found, Toyota development driver)
Parker Retzlaff: 12.9 (FunkAway has followed him to six teams)
Taylor Gray: 15.4 (family money, won Kansas)
William Sawalich: 16.3 (dad is CEO of Starkey, the sponsor)
Dean Thompson: 18.7 (family company on the car)
Jeb Burton: 22.0 (State Water Heaters, his sponsor since 2012)
Patrick Staropoli: 23.8 (new sponsor came with the seat)
Kyle Sieg: 24.4 (parents own RSS)
Ryan Ellis: 27.1 (sells his own deals)

The ones that jumped out:

Same No. 48, one year apart. Nick Sanchez in 2025: a win, 86 laps led, 12 top 10s. Staropoli in 2026: 0 laps led, 0 top 10s. Nobody has reported what that deal is worth or that he pays for the seat, but the car fell off a cliff.

Retzlaff took over the Viking car from DiBenedetto, who averaged 23.6 in it last year, and has it at a 12.9 and a Chase spot. That's money working.

Crews has the best average of Gibbs' four O'Reilly drivers as a rookie.

Parker Kligerman made a good point when I posted this on X: most deals are a mix of family, sponsor and manufacturer money, and you usually can't tell the split from outside. Fair. All I can measure is results.

Curious who people think is getting the most for their money.

I feel like it would make sense to use the new design but I wanna know what you guys think

I know this may be a long shot, but I recently got a crew suit from races in which Kenseth raced the AT&T car, and for the life of me, I was only able to find one picture of the crew (attached). Wanted to see if anyone else had any pictures. I’ve also watched old race footage, but it’s all very grainy. He used that paint scheme in the following races:
2001 Dodge/Save Mart 350
2001 Pepsi 400
2002 Dodge/Save Mart 350
2002 Pepsi 400
2002 New England 300

I guess not this week, well here's one I saw watching a old race. Smoke ran this for the fall 2010 Charlotte race.

ARCA moving to Continental Tire in 2027 who owns Hoosier tire

Heard this in Samantha’s new podcast episode https://youtu.be/A9vmP3G7HCQ?si=69TQTaliwWwre4kc and found it funny as fuck my man was trying to sling deals and get some good out of a shitty situation.

Edit: This was at the 45 min mark btw. And it was for truck sponsorship lmao
