Timmy Hill Displays Personalized “Magazine Cover” in Shop Office

On a recent tour of his home racing shop, cameras caught a framed copy of “Racing Edge Magazine” featuring Timmy Hill on the cover, listed as “Racing’s Next Big Thing!”, an apparent “spoof” magazine cover available at most drug store photo departments.

“Oh that?  It was a gift from a friend of mine”, said Hill when reached for comment.  “I think he said something about it being a ‘look into the future’, although he texted me that after I asked him, so I don’t know if he was being serious or not.”

The video package, put online to promote Hill to potential sponsors, also showed several other unique items of memorabilia.  This included a large trophy with an inscription reading “Most Improved at Gear Shifting Game, 2015”, believed to be won at a local firemen’s carnival.  Further inspection also revealed a plaque with a late model car etched into the metal plate below the word “WINNER”, but no event name, date, or personalization beyond Hill’s own autograph in metallic marker.

The “Racing Edge Magazine” cover lists such apparent stories as “10 Hottest Drivers On The Rise” and “Championship Secrets”, emblazoned below the image of Hill’s face.  No UPC code or mailing label is present, although the frame appeared to block out most of a website where such magazine covers can be ordered for the special person in your life.

Denny Hamlin Now Communicating Exclusively in Sign Language

After over a week of controversy involving his comments on other drivers and interactions with Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr., Nascar star Denny Hamlin has announced that he will only be “speaking” in American Sign Language for the foreseeable future.

Denny's not the first Nascar driver to
communicate in sign language

“This is my last official statement for awhile”, Hamlin told a group of assembled media before today’s race.  “From now on, I will only speak using my hands in sign language.  From now on.  Starting now.”  Hamlin then slammed his hand on the podium for effect.

Hamlin apparently learned how to communicate in sign language for a recent Toyota Racing commercial, in which he “speaks” with a hearing-impaired fan before a race.

“I’m not about doing anything partial-way”, Hamlin signed for the media members.  “When I had the opportunity to learn this beautiful way of speaking, I decided to learn it everything.”

Hamlin’s new vow of “silence” appears to also transfer over to Twitter, where he is only communicating in emoji’s as of this morning, his most-recent post being a series of smily-faces and cars.

“I desire they had a black and orange car for my phone”, Hamlin continued to sign.  “I can still speak so much through Twitter, and with this language I have mastered so fastly.”

As a result of the switch to non-verbal communication, Hamlin appeared to shrug off commenting on rumors that he has refused to talk to Bubba Wallace Jr. following their dust-up at Daytona.

“There’s nothing for me to say”, Hamlin signed, “about the Bubba.  He makes his decisions and I concrete flower New Jersey—“

Hamlin then broke his vow, yelling out “AHH, hand cramp!”

Nascar Pick Challenge: Uncle Max vs. Mystery Picker—Atlanta

Returning for 2018, here is Spade Racing Writer/Webmaster/Janitor Mike Mackler’s Uncle Max, this year competing against a mystery Cup Series picker all season long.

Sometimes, its just not your weekend.

It started off with me having to work Friday Night rather than getting to watch the Truck Series race like I wanted to.  Then, my pick for the Xfinity Series race loses BY THE CLOSEST MARGIN IN HISTORY.  As if that wasn’t enough to put me in a bad mood, I found a leak in my bathroom and had to call maintenance to get it fixed (I rent, what of it?).

Then Sunday came.  Oh, I was feeling pretty good about my Kurt Busch pick.  And after the “Mystery Picker”’s pick of Chase Elliott got knocked out, I was feeling even better.  But then the maintenance guy came over and at THAT MOMENT I saw Kurt Busch wreck.  And then I had to explain to a plumber why I was so angry at a Nascar race.

Truck Series Active Pest Control 200—Kyle Busch—pretty easy to pick up a win when you’re the only Cup driver racing in a lower series race.

Xfinity Series Rinnai 250—Joey Logano—pretty easy to pick up a win when you’re one of the only Cup drivers racing in a lower series race.
