Happy 120th Birthday Ford - Love my Mustang
NASCAR Race Mom (NRM) Enjoys Her Mustang

 

Ford Motor Company turned 120 years old a couple of days ago (June 16th). To commemorate the anniversary, they have invited employees to “Celebrate by Showing the World What Makes You Proud to Work at Ford.”

 

Ford Media suggested to its worldwide staff how they might engage with social media to share their experiences.

 

While I never had the pleasure of working for Ford, I can share that I really enjoyed my 2016 Ford Mustang – a muscle car that loves the open road. My Pony Car turned a lot of heads! - NRM

Old Dominion Named Grand Marshal of Ally 400

Old Dominion Named Grand Marshal of Ally 400

Award-Winning and World-Renowned Country Band Received its Eighth Consecutive Academy of Country Music Awards

 

Award-winning and world-renowned country music band Old Dominion will serve as grand marshal for the Ally 400 NASCAR Cup Series race June 25 at Nashville Superspeedway.

 

The Nashville-based group, which received its eighth consecutive Academy of Country Music Awards nomination for Group of the Year earlier this spring and claimed the past five straight such accolades, is set to give NASCAR’s Cup Series drivers the command to start their engines before the 6 p.m. CT race under the lights.

 

“We’re honored to have Old Dominion serve as grand marshal for Middle Tennessee’s can’t-miss event of the summer,” Nashville Superspeedway general manager, Matt Greci said. “The Ally 400 race week is one of NASCAR’s brightest stages, and it could not be more fitting for one of country music’s finest groups to be a part of this spectacular event.”

 

With eight No. 1 singles, the chart-topping band has surpassed one billion on-demand streams, earned several Platinum and Gold single certifications and headlined arenas and amphitheaters around the globe.

 

“NASCAR definitely brings us down Memory Lane, so to be asked to say the most famous words in motorsports at NASCAR’s Ally 400 race at Nashville Superspeedway is an honor and a privilege,” Old Dominion said. “We are excited to make even more NASCAR memories with our friends, family, and the NASCAR fans!”

 

Old Dominion have emerged as one of Nashville’s most successful post-modern country bands, fusing clever lyrics with an infectious sound. Their lyrical wit and hook heavy songwriting is a winning proposition. Since breaking onto the scene, the band has achieved eight No. 1 singles at country radio, over five billion on-demand streams, multiple Platinum and Gold single certifications and headlined arenas and amphitheaters around the globe. Old Dominion are currently the five-time reigning CMA and ACM “Group of the Year.” They are currently nominated for their eighth consecutive ACM “Group of the Year” honor. The band also earned nominations for “Album of the Year” at the 2022 CMA Awards and for “Favorite Country Duo or Group” at the 2022 American Music Awards.

Happy #NASCAR Father’s Day

Happy #NASCAR Father’s Day

What!!! - No Racing

Happy #NASCAR Father’s Day

 

Why is there no NASCAR event on 2023 Father’s Day weekend? 

 

The simplest answer: It’s a good time for everyone to take a rest. The last weekend off for the Cup Series came on Super Bowl Sunday, which fell between the Busch Light Clash and the Daytona 500. There won’t be another break until the season ends with the Championship 4 in November. 

 

However, NASCAR Race Mom (NRM) laments that this decision takes away an opportunity for Fathers and their children to construct lasting Father’s Day memories. Hopefully, next Father’s Day will feature the wholesome adventure I cherish as NASCAR.
