52 Pickup Racing Welcomes Arrival of New “Upcycled” Equipment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Boogertown, North Carolina)

As 52 Pickup Racing is a brand-new race team in the NASCAR Cup Series, everything is brand new, from the driver to the cars to the race shop nearing completion as soon as the roofer gets back to them.  But in today’s sustainability-concerned world, 52 Pickup Racing took things to the next level, “upcycling” a number of key parts from a dumpster located outside of the Hendrick Motorsports headquarters.

“There’s some really good stuff here—look, these lug nuts are practically good as new”, said Reeve McKay, one of the fifty-two co-owners of 52 Pickup Racing.  “And over here, I mean, look at all these Kasey Kahne t-shirts—these’ll go great for crew member undershirts!”

Driver T.B. Dee echoed ownership’s concern for maintaining a positive impact on the local environment.

“We’re all concerned about the future of the planet, and making sure that ‘gently-used’ race car parts aren’t winding up in the landfills of North Carolina”, Dee said while trying on an old Casey Mears firesuit.  “And look—we can undo the embroidery on this thing, cinch it up a little in the middle, and I got myself a uniform!”

The team is preparing for the 2021 NASCAR Cup season, but also preparing their environmental impact for years to come.

“We want to use whatever we can to minimize the sport’s detriment to the environment”, McKay said while sorting through a pile of old shocks.  “And if anyone has any old parts that are just lying around, feel free to drop them off in the big box outside our race shop.  Just don’t come in, we haven’t got our occupancy license yet.”

QUOTES: “Its not just about what we do today, its about what we leave for the fu—ooh, look—Dale Jr. raced sheet metal!” —T.B. Dee, driver of the 52 Pickup Racing Monday Cigarettes race car.

“Careful with that sheet metal there, T.B.—I know a guy who can get us big money on eBay!” —Reeve McKay, co-owner of 52 Pickup Racing.

ABOUT 52 PICKUP RACING: 52 Pickup Racing is NASCAR Cup’s newest race team.  Based out of Boogertown North Carolina, the team employs up-and-coming driver T.B. Dee and is now in possession of an old Farmers Insurance-branded “war wagon”.

Coming Soon—hero cards!

2020 Panini Nascar Chronicles Cards Unboxing PACK 1 of 24

Panini comes out every year with a “super premium” series of Nascar cards, chock full of memorabilia pieces, autographs, and rookie cards.  This year its the Chronicles Series.  Join me as we unbox, unwrap, and unpack six “Blaster Boxes” worth of cards!

PACK 1—Deegan, Larson—wait, Larson?

FIRST THING’S FIRST: Well, lets get this out of the way—there’s as long lead-time on cards, so that means that Kyle Larson is still included (twice here) despite having been ostracized from the sport in the Spring.  Ignoring that, you can tell these cards are premium-quality—high-gloss, silver and gold embossing, and made up almost entirely of subsets.  Who needs base cards when you can have “Ascension”?

TO THE BACK: Oh, he was “primed” for more Cup Series checkered flags, but much like a water pump that’s been primed, Larson wound up blowing up the pump, then scattering the remains at sea.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING: “If I have to hear David Gilliland tell me ONE MORE TIME about his Xfinity Series win I’m going to scream”.  Oh God, here he comes—better play it nice.

FINAL SCORE: 2 stage points out of 10.

52 Pickup Racing Presents: Ask The Driver

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Boogertown, North Carolina)

Earlier last week 52 Pickup Racing opened up its social media channels to questions for T.B. Dee, driver of the Monday Cigarettes race car.  Here’s three:

“T.B., what are your goals for the 2021 NASCAR Cup season?” —Randy Hoiles, Tractor Mechanic (Baltimore, Maryland)

“I think we have the same goals as every other team—limit mistakes, learn a lot, bring home the car in one piece, and crack the top-30 when we can.  I bet the Penske and Gibbs guys are saying the exact same things right now.” —T.B.

“Hey T.B., I’m a pretty big race fan and even I didn’t know much about you.  How did you get your ride with 52 Pickup Racing?” —Chris Milligan, Beverage Salesman (Sarasota, Florida)

“Oh, I came up like most drivers do—running regional late model and sprint car series like the Southern United Challenger Kings Series (SUCKS) and the Birmingham-Leeds Outlaw World Series (BLOWS).  Then it was just the luck of the draw, I guess, that led me to this great race team’s Craigslist post.” —T.B.

“Hey T.B., sorry to reach you like this, but I don’t have your cell number.  Remember that we need you at the race shop tomorrow to help install the insulation.  We don’t want those race cars getting cold!” —Otto Neu, Compounding Pharmacist and 52 Pickup Racing co-owner (Charlotte, North Carolina).

“Thanks for the heads up—hopefully this time I don’t get all itchy” —T.B.

QUOTES: “When it comes to the new teams competing in the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series, 52 Pickup Racing is definitely one of them.” —Joe Devereaux, Boogertown Bugle

“T.B. Dee is a…driver with…experience and (not) a danger to others on the track” —Mike Orsulak, NASCAR Preview
