The Driver Suit Blog-My Thoughts On The Grand Prix of Louisiana

By David G. Firestone

I’m going to start moving My Thoughts On to Tuesdays as it is much easier for me to write on a Monday after a race than Sunday Night. Now that the protocol change is out of the way, I’d like to discuss The Grand Prix of Louisiana at NOLA Motorsports Park.

I’m always interested in the first race at a new track. The track is at its peak, the surface is perfect, and nobody has a distinct advantage. The course had a lot of potential, but the race itself was a disaster. The rain that came in was unavoidable. Now in defense of NOLA, they brought in an Air Titan system to dry the track, but there was rain in the forecast, so they had a brief window to hold the race. They ran 44 of 75 laps, and I have to say, it was one of the worst races I have ever seen.

It’s almost as if the designers failed to realize that cars pass each other while racing, at least that is what I took away from it. It was a caution fest, and the rain didn’t help things at all. The really tight turns made for a series of spin outs and wrecks that slowed the pace to the point that it wasn’t fun to watch. After James Hinchcliffe won, I watched The Masters, and I had more fun watching that than I did watching the race.

What made the race even worse was NOLA Motorsports Park’s advertising. The whole “have your next team building exercise here” series of commercials reeked of desperation. The commercials were basically saying “we need your business to have meetings here to keep us in business.” It was just painful to watch. At one point, I went to lunch with my cousin and DVR’d the race because I couldn’t stand the commercials.

The most amazing part is when Gabby Chaves spun, and a corner worker came out and pushed him back into the race, as shown here…

I first thought it was a fan, but it was a track worker. I’ve never seen a track worker do something like that, and I was shocked.

After that race, any respect that I had for NOLA Motorsports Park is now gone. Hopefully 2016 will be a better Grand Prix of Louisiana, but the 2015 race was something to forget.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-April 10, 2015

Alex Bowman #7 Accell Construction Chevy SS-Same scheme as last year, same C- grade.

Sam Hornish Jr. #9 Lyons Financial Ford Fusion-Same scheme as Medallion Financial, same F grade.

Clint Bowyer #15 Maxwell House Toyota Camry-When I heard that Maxwell House was sponsoring a car this season, I hoped it would look like this, but it doesn’t.  It’s still a good design with a good color scheme and a great design scheme so it earns an A.

Greg Biffle #16 Safety Kleen Ford Fusion– Yellow, green, black, and white is awful, and the design is just horrid. It looks awful, so it gets an F.

Carl Edwards #19 Stanley/Cook’s Children’s Hospital Toyota Camry-Same scheme as Stanley same B+ Grade.

Jeb Burton #26 Maxim Red Toyota Camry-Good design and a great color scheme, but the Dr. Pepper number border takes it from an A+ to an A-

Mike Bliss #32 Texas Tech Ford Fusion-I love a good fade, and the red to black fade here is very good. The only complaint that I have is that the Texas Tech logo is a bit too big, but it’s a minor complaint. It earns an A.

Cole Whitt #35 Standard Plumbing Toyota Camry-Good simple design and a good color scheme always earns an A+

Landon Cassill #40 CRC Knock’er Loose Chevy SS– Terrible color scheme and a horrible, and over designed scheme will always earn an F.

Kyle Larson #42 Axe White Chevy SS– I’m not always a fan of white race cars, but this design works very well, and has a great color scheme. A

Michael Annett #46 Northland Oil Chevy SS-A decent color scheme keeps this horrific design from and F, but just barely. It earns a D-

Justin Allgaier #51 Flipping Ships Chevy SS-The blue fade from top to bottom works well, and the general color scheme works well, but I don’t like those waves under the B+

Michael McDowell #95 Thrivent Financial Silver Ford Fusion– The removal of the logo behind the door number, and the addition of silver looks really good, and earns an A.

The Driver Suit Blog-Loaning to the Chicago Sports Museum

2014-10-6-CSMuseum4By David G. Firestone

When I first went to the Chicago Sports Museum at the Water Tower Place, I was in heaven. The interactive exhibits were amazing, and a lot of fun. The exhibits were amazing as well. I especially enjoyed the microphone flag display near the main hall. The large display in the Hall of Legends features an entire wall filled with memorabilia from many Chicago area teams, past and present. It’s a really fun place.

But when I came to the auto racing display, it was…well…lackluster, to say the least. Two trophies and a champagne bottle didn’t exactly impress me. So on the train ride back home, I began to think, maybe I should loan something to the museum. Upon returning, I started looking into my various driver suits, and deciding which one I should loan to the museum. This wasn’t easy, as I wanted a suit that had a Chicago connection. Chicagoland Speedway opened in 2001, and the majority of my collection is pre-2000.

After some thinking, and researching, I decided to loan this David Stremme suit, which I could prove was worn at Chicagoland. My next step was getting in touch with Harry Carry’s and presenting the offer. They responded quickly and accepted the offer. Paperwork was signed, and then I went to the museum, suit in hand, and handed the suit off to them, after lunch.2014-10-6-CSMuseum1 2014-10-6-CSMuseum2 2014-10-6-CSMuseum4 2014-10-6-CSMuseum3

Due to the size of the suit, a larger mannequin had to be ordered, and the case had to be redesigned. Several weeks went by and then I got an email stating that the suit was finally on display. I went with mom to Harry Carry’s Seventh Inning Stretch, had a really good burger, and some Frank Thomas’s Big Hurt Beer, and toured the museum and saw my suit in full display. If you have lunch or dinner at Harry Carry’s Seventh Inning Stretch you will get your tickets to the museum comped. If you decide to visit the museum then eat, you will get your ticket price taken out of the bill. It’s a really good deal at a really good museum.
