NASCAR is truly one of those sports that capture the imagination of its ardent fanbase. So, what makes the league stand out from the rest? Fans will certainly favor their drivers and favorite teams, but the answer lies in shadowed details.

One of the key components that separate NASCAR from other big leagues is the element of unpredictability. And unpredictability is what you get when you put close to 40 high-performance racecars and their super-competitive drivers in a confined oval track.

This is a recipe for some high-octane racing moments and a bunch of drama.

One such moment came during the recent race in Phoenix, and fans had a hilarious time reacting to an incident. During the restart frenzy start of the race, John Hunter Nemechek in his No.20 Toyota kissed the wall which later became the source of memes. Firing off into the race, the younger driver ran wide on the first two turns, managing only a brief bump while the fans managed to pick some humor off it.

While NASCAR fans took to social media and had a ball, John remains loyal and positive!

A fan shared a post on Reddit, highlighting the quick fix by the pit crew, and the post quickly started a chain reaction with fans reacting and commenting to a peculiar “Supra” logo.

Many started reacting, while some said, “This is a much more legit version of what I do with rally racing decals on my Subaru Crosstrek.” 

“Someone didn’t have the extra minute to draw the Toyota logo.”

While another fan had to say, “I love the little things like that, it just adds character.”

The young Joe Gibbs Racing driver didn’t get involved and stayed cool. He has a solid relationship with the whole team, as we often see him praising the team for the support he gets. On a number of occasions, John has complimented the team for “an amazing Toyota GR Supra”.
