This victory was not just a win; it was the culmination of 20 years of effort, embodying the spirit of perseverance. @Dale Earnhardt, known as "The Intimidator," had already established himself as a legend in NASCAR, but the Daytona 500 had eluded him despite his dominance in other races at the Daytona International Speedway. 𝗔 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗥 Earnhardt's victory in 1998 was more than a personal achievement; it was a defining moment in NASCAR history. The emotional win resonated throughout the racing community, as evidenced by the unprecedented post-race celebration.

This moment of unity and sportsmanship highlighted the impact of Earnhardt's win, not only on his career but on NASCAR as a whole. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟴 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗪𝗶𝗻 The 1998 Daytona 500 win was significant for several reasons.

Secondly, it solidified Earnhardt's legacy as one of the greatest racers in NASCAR history. Despite numerous challenges and near-misses, including a heart-wrenching moment in 1990 when a flat tyre in the last turn of the last lap cost him the win, Earnhardt never lost faith. His victory in 1998 was a powerful reminder that success is possible, even when it seems just out of reach. The win was made even more special by the story of the lucky penny given to Earnhardt by a young fan through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This small token became a symbol of hope and luck, further enriching the narrative of Earnhardt's long-awaited victory.

I have been following F1 for ages now. Today Lando Norris became the 21st Brit to win the Miami GP. It took him 110 races to win his maiden win. He had an unusual record of being the only driver with 15 podium finishes and no wins before today. But Miami has changed that today. So this shows that how Mclaren showed faith in him. Especially the team principal Zac Brown for sticking with him and giving him a long-term contract. If I compare this to the world of sales. It's a similar experience. It takes persistence and resilience, sticking with the right people. It's a process that the leaders should have to trust in and stick with. And then ultimately the flowers starts blossoming for you #sales #salestech #B2B

Interesting read.
𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗸𝗼𝗺 By Graham Duxbury John Love, driving his Team Gunston March 701 Ford Cosworth, won the Goldfields Autumn Trophy in Welkom, round four of the SA Drivers’ Championship, on this day in 1971. He was followed home in the 40-lap race by Dave Charlton (Lucky Strike Lotus 49C Ford Cosworth) and Jackie Pretorius in the second Team Gunston entry – a Brabham BT26 Ford Cosworth. Three F5000 cars were next with Bobby Olthoff (McLaren M10A Ford) in fourth place a lap down. William Fergusson (Surtees TS8 Chev) and Paddy Driver (McLaren M10B Ford were the last of the finishers. After the race, Charlton held a slim lead in the title chase from Pretorius (24 to 21 points) with Love third with 15 points on the board. Photocredit: f1forgottendrivers.com

Being able to consisely educate consumers without slighting or dispariging the stakeholders was the branding challenge and one that I feel we've overcome with the NASCAR Regional branding. It was quickly evident in our search to define the foundational business of NASCAR that it’s definition meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Roots. Weekly. Touring. Grassroots. Origins. Ladder. Home Tracks. All of these terms have been used to group the steps that ladder up into NASCAR’s top three national series. It was a bit confusing and disjointed and awkward. If we’re going to market the term needed a bit more clarity and simplicity. Whether it's our broadcast consumers or commercial partners, NASCAR Regional is able to go to market with an aggregation of platform assets in order to make an impact across our official ladder system. Using a more widely accepted vernacular allows quicker understanding of the assets and also gives room to grow the official NASCAR ladder system portfolio. All of that said - this rebrand took a good amount of work with collaboration and effort across multiple departments and I’m honored to see it come to fruition in my short time at NASCAR. Lauren Wescoat ran point from our team but the Weekly, Editorial, Digital, Broadcast, Comms and Competition departments all have their fingerprints on this one with a big shoutout to David Zane and Patrick Morris ‘ brand team that brought this from problem to solution. The first step in organizing it is defining it. Excited to take the next step…
NASCAR has officially announced the launch of the NASCAR Regional brand and platform, which encompasses the touring and weekly series of NASCAR – the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East, ARCA Menards Series West, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series. Formerly NASCAR Roots, the NASCAR Regional brand and platform will better position the sport to grow awareness around those series. In addition, the rebrand ushers in a more organized and recognizable platform that provides concise sightlines of a ‘ladder system’ from beginning to end.
