Watch This: Driver Steals Speedy Dry To Throw On Rival’s Windshield

During a NASCAR Wheelen Modified Tour Race, Burt Myers got back at his rival in the most creative way possible: he threw a bucket of Speedy Dry at him

What’s Happening?

Following an on-track incident at Bowman Gray, NASCAR Wheelen Modified Tour Driver, Burt Myers, lifted a full bucket of Speedy Dry off the safety crew’s truck and launched it at his rival. Talk about payback!

You Need To Know:

  • Bowman Gray Stadium has a reputation for this sort of thing. Crazy things tend to happen there and tempers overflow quite often. This incident started with good hard racing between Burt Myers in the No. 1 and Chris Fleming in the red No. 16. Fleming was on the inside and he ran Myers up out of the groove. With the Modified division being NASCAR’s only open wheel division, it caused considerable damage to Myers car who eventually got up into the wall.
  • This is why I love Flo Racing. Most, if not all NASCAR Modified races are untelevised. Back when the SPEED Channel existed, they’d show a tape delayed race on a random Wednesday from a week or longer before. With Flo, you get to watch all the craziness series like this one can provide and you get to watch it live. There’s literally a race nearly every single night on Flo Racing! It’s a paradise for race fans.
  • Fans either loved or hated this news with some reddit users joking that it probably sparked a fight in the grandstands. This is old school, grassroots racing at its finest and, even with tempers overflowing on the track, in the grandstands, or even online, everybody’s having a good time.

The Main Characters

Burt Myers in the black and white No. 1 car and Chris Fleming in the red No. 16 are the main characters of this story. Below is a clip of the on-track incident between the two drivers as well as the footage of Myers throwing Speedy Dry on Fleming’s car. It’s a sight to behold.

In The Stands

Bowman Gray seems to be a place for rough housing! Desperate-Repeat-835 suggests just cutting the cord and putting a WWE ring in the center of it. Hey, man, I’m occasionally up for some “sports entertainment”.

Packhammer24 says that the craziest sh*t he’s even seen happened at Bowman Gray! Man, I gotta go there to catch a race sometime.

treviscraft says that with this incident, their Flo Racing subscription has paid for itself.

Yes, tuss11agee, the way the bucket just sits on Fleming’s bumper bars is absolutely hilarious!

albeenoh is all for Bowman Gray continuing to up the craziness meter.

You’re right, Evotona500, it probably did start a fight in the grandstands. Then they probably all went off and had a beer together. Good times.

Yes, it does appear to be that time of the year again, cwhisler12.

Yeah, he kind of is.

Lionel Racing Reveals First Wave of 2026 NASCAR Authentics Diecast

What’s Happening?

Lionel Racing finally confirmed the first wave of 2026 NASCAR Authentics 1:64 scale diecast for Monday morning, with the line of retail-exclusive diecast featuring a new look for the new year.

  • This line will include six throwback paint schemes from NASCAR’s 2025 throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway. Though they did not release one in 2025, this move restarts an annual tradition of Lionel releasing at least one wave of cars carrying the colors of that prior season’s throwback designs.
  • Included in this wave of cars are Austin Cindric, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, William Byron, and Sammy Smith. Alongside these paint schemes’ debuts in the Authentics line is a new design for the packaging of the 2026 line of NASCAR Authentics.
  • Last season was somewhat turbulent for Lionel as, alongside issues with tariffs, the brand only released three waves of NASCAR Autentics, one wave of NASCAR Autentics Winners Circle diecast, and two waves of Haulers.
  • Lionel announcing the first wave of 2026 early on in the new year is perhaps a sign that 2026 could return this line to its regular release schedule. The post from Lionel Racing also confirmed that the brand will announce another wave by the end of the week, further hinting at a recommitment to the Authentics line.

Chase Pistone, NASCAR Trucks and Nationwide Series Driver, Passes Away

What’s Happening?

Chase Pistone, a former competitor on the short track racing circuit in addition to NASCAR’s National Series, has passed away. Pistone, now a successful Legends Car owner, was 42.

  • Chase’s brothers Nick and Tom Pistone confirmed the North Carolina natives’ passing to LegendsNation.com. The cause of Pistone’s passing is unknown. The family asked that media share the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number, which is 988.
  • Pistone, the grandson of NASCAR legend “Tiger” Tom Pistone, made his way to NASCAR after competing on short tracks in Legends cars and Late Models. He would make his jump to NASCAR via the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2005, racing for Green Light Racing at Martinsville Speedway.
  • Pistone would continue his NASCAR pursuits in 2006, racing in ARCA and the NASCAR Busch Series. Unfortunately, these two starts, at Martinsville with the Busch Series and Iowa with ARCA, would be his last for nearly a decade.
  • Pistone returned to NASCAR in 2014, racing in a combined eight NASCAR Camping World Truck and Nationwide Series races. During this season, his final in NASCAR, the then 30-year-old scored his best National Series finish, ninth place in the Truck Series annual trip to Gateway.

8 Takeaways From NASCAR At COTA

Three races in, the 2026 season is finally starting to show its hand. COTA shifted narratives, exposed weaknesses, and raised new questions about contenders, pretenders, and everything in between.

  • Has Shane van Gisbergen officially been proven mortal after getting outraced late at Circuit of the Americas?
  • Is 19-year-old Connor Zilisch already ahead of schedule after slicing through the field multiple times?
  • With three straight wins, is Tyler Reddick basically a lock for the postseason this early?
  • And how concerned should the 48 team be after a rough weekend for Alex Bowman?

From substitute drivers being forced into action to points gaps growing faster than expected, COTA delivered more than just a road course chess match. There were momentum swings, reputation hits, and at least one young driver stacking up enemies before stacking up results.
