Top 10 Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity Series Paint Schemes List Compiled by Brian Cotnoir So in my last list, I counted down the Top 10 Best Paint Schemes in NASCAR....well I realized I should've called it the best Cup Car Paint Schemes, because I completely negated some of the Great Paint Schemes from NASCAR's 2nd Tier Series (Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity).  However, in my defense, that series has only been around since 1982, and many of the great paint schemes run in the series are identical to some of the Best Cup Series Paint Schemes.  So just a little fill in before you read this list.  Because a lot of the early Busch Series drivers didn't run weekly, I will consider paint schemes run on partial schedules.  I also will allow paint schemes run by multiple drivers in the series, but I will be excluding any paint schemes that were just copies of Cup Series Paint Schemes.  So here is my list of the Top 10 Best Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity Series Paint Schemes #10.) A...

So the NFL recently came down with its decision to fine players and/or teams who sit or take a knee during the National Anthem this year.   I have to say, I’m truly disappointed with the NFL’s decision.   Their feelings on the matter were made very clear with this decision; Roger Goodell and the NFL owners care more about Profits than the human rights violations committed against Black NFL players and People of Color around the country.   At the same time, I’m not surprised they reached this decision; I mean we all knew Goodell is WEAK .   So we have to ask ourselves; where does this leave us fans of Professional Football?   How can we stand by and support a league that says Screw You to the U.S. Constitution and Freedom of Speech in favor of protecting their own personal business interests?   Not to mention, ignores 4 centuries of hardship, suffering, and the pain of a large population of the United States. Win, Lose, Tie, Stand, or Kneel I support...

Top 10 Best NASCAR Paint Schemes A List compiled by Brian Cotnoir Since the days of Winston Cigarettes, NASCAR has been a haven for Advertising.    Most NASCAR fans can associate their favorite Products with a NASCAR driver's sponsor.  If I say STP motor oil, practically every NASCAR fan thinks, Richard Petty.  If I say Budweiser Beer, every NASCAR fan will tell you Dale Earnhardt Jr or Kevin Harvick (or Darrel Waltrip or Bill Elliot if you're an Old School NASCAR fan).  Dupont= Jeff Gordon, Valvoline=Mark Martin, and Denny Hamlin=FedEx.   And over the years, those sponsors have given us some pretty Iconic Paint Schemes.  Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s iconic Black #3, Richard Petty's Petty Blue #43 winning 200 races, and Jeff Gordon's Rainbow Warrior Paint scheme.  So, today, I am paying homage to the Best Paint Schemes in NASCAR History. Now a little clarification first: 1.) These are my Personal Opinion,  so I'm sure some of you will have...

An Article By Brian Cotnoir So today, we got the very surprising news that Xfinity driver, Spencer Gallagher was suspended for failing NASCAR's substance abuse policy.  The news comes as a even bigger shock, since Gallagher's 1st win in the Xfinity Series came just days before his failed drug test.  It has not been disclosed what "banned" substance Gallagher tested positive for, I've had some of my friends suspect that it was possibly Adderall, why I myself suspect it might have been a celebratory toke of weed.  I can NOT confirm any of this, seeing as I have not spoken to NASCAR or any of Spencer Gallagher's representatives, and this is all just our own speculations. Gallagher is not the first driver to be suspended for testing positive for a banned substance.  Other more notable drivers to have been subjected to NASCAR suspensions for drug violations include Tyler Walker, Jeremy Mayfield, and AJ Allmendinger. The saddest part is that this failed drug te...
