Wednesday WTF: Nissan Sentra 'NASCAR'

I really don't know what the story is behind this unusual stock car homage Nissan Sentra, made to look like Tony Stewart's #20 Home Depot racer. I first saw it at a local Goodguys car show in 2006, then again two years later in the parking lot of my local supermarket. Mojo Pac Racing seems to be a defunct or nonexistent organization as I can't find anything about it online. I can't see how a cheap FWD Nissan sedan would be much good for racing, SE-R Spec-V notwithstanding. Maybe it's just a guy having fun messing with people.

Abandoned Racetrack: Metrolina Speedway



This abandoned 1/2 mile oval racetrack near Charlotte, North Carolina, perhaps best known as where Dale Earnhardt, Sr. won his first race on asphalt, was explored by the person behind the "AdamTheWoo" YouTube channel, before the track was cleaned up and an attempt at rebuilding it was made. Supposedly this place is returning to nature again after the attempt at a rebuild failed.

While I do not approve of the poor video quality, the horseplay inside abandoned places seen in the intro and in their other videos, and the obnoxious music in the intro, this is still one of the most thorough explorations of the Metrolina Speedway available...
