It’s Thursday. One of my readers caught this Rivian R1T pickup at a car show in Hershey, PA. Rivian says their R1T is the first fully electric production pickup truck. They’re made down in Normal, Illinois, and I’ve probably seen three or so out in the wild. They’re easy to spot because of the vertical headlights, but that’s also the feature that I dislike the most of their design. The headlights just look oddly out of place, almost like they were thrown in at the last second. Anyway, that’s just my opinion. If you’re interested in getting one, ya better start saving your pennies because at roughly $73k they’re a tad pricey.

It’s Wednesday. In the final lap of the Martinsville race last Sunday, Ross Chastain needed to overtake Denny Hamlin in order to secure a spot in the final four racing for the Nascar Championship. Chastain pulled off a move that people claim had never been done before. He managed to use the outside barrier wall to accelerate past other cars, going from tenth to fifth in just seconds. Normally when cars hit the wall, they drastically slow down. However, Chastain kept his foot on the accelerator and managed to go faster than the other cars which all had to slow down to make the turn. This maneuver enabled him to beat Denny Hamlin by a couple of feet, thereby stealing the final transfer spot from Hamlin. And Hamlin never even saw it coming.

In the video footage above you can see the move from the perspectives of other drivers and hear their reactions over the team radios.

It’s Tuesday. I know, it’s time to say goodbye to Halloween for another year. But before we move on, I have just one more Halloween video to share with all of you. There were a lot of really good costume ideas this year, but it was these guys who dressed up as a car wash that I liked the most. Enjoy!
