Such Doge, So NASCAR, Wow: Dogecoin and reddit’s NASCAR community raise $50,000 in Dogecoin to sponsor a Doge car at Talladega in May
March 25, 2014 -- NEW YORK-- The hopes and dreams of a digital currency will be riding with NASCAR driver Josh Wise as he pilots the #98 Moonrocket to certain victory at Talladega Superspeedway this spring. The Dogecoin community teamed up with the NASCAR subreddit to raise over 67 million Dogecoin ($50,000) to cover the car with the iconic image of the Doge. 1,200 donations averaging $41 added up to Much Wow!
The fundraiser began when members of reddit’s NASCAR community identified Josh Wise as an up-and-coming underdog driver in need of a sponsor. 8 days later, he now has the most wow sponsor in the history of NASCAR. "I can't thank the Dogecoin and reddit community enough for the support," said Wise, who drives for Phil Parsons Racing. "To the moon!"
For this campaign the Dogecoin community joined forces with the NASCAR subreddit and reddit.com. The car will be primarily Dogecoin themed, and will also feature the reddit alien logo. A potential design for the car can be found at http://bit.ly/DogeNASCAR . Previous Dogecoin campaigns have helped send the Jamaican bobsled team to the Sochi Olympics, raised $20,000 to train service dogs for children with disabilities, and collected $30,000 to build clean water wells in Kenya.
The Moonrocket will make its debut at the Aarons 499 Sprint Series Cup race on May 4th. Updates on the Doge4NASCAR campaign will be posted at http://doge4nascar.org/ .

His best Talladega finish in a Sprint Cup car is 19th (2013).  His best finish this year is 23rd.

He should be good for a lot of airtime if he doesn't get caught up in a "big one" (wreck).  The odds of him winning are very slim.

Must admit the Dogecoin community really stepped up for this one.

And for those that asked, the car will run in the Aaron's 499 at Talladega on May 4.

Where's the best place to put a bet on it? I hope they put massive doge coin logos all over the car so I can easily see which car I am betting on during the race. Maybe they will write a massive doge coin banner down the side of the car to make it easily recognizable.

Do not ever make the mistake of thinking Good Ol' Southern Boys and Girls (ie. Rednecks) lack intelligence or innovation.
I bet there are more mining rigs in the South than moonshine stills.   Cheesy

Doge is doing a fantastic publicity/marketing job.

This is going to be insane seeing this on national TV...  If the whales pumped as much as they did for the bobsled I can't imagine what they are going to do for the largest cryptocurrency publicity stunt of all time.
when will this be aired?
