That’s fine, but there is really only one good NASCAR livery:

Well then, go back to your roots.
All teams buy either a mustang, camaro , charger, challenger, camry , and race them.

Went looking for the original post. FB has a page by this name, but it was just created June 11 and is 100% MAGA memes and confederate battle flags.

I would watch that. 30 lap sprints of hacked and hot rodded Camaros and mustangs screaming around a dirt oval? Sign me up. Much better than these new three section races and forced cautions...

There was a few articles how these groups harvest user data, so they’ll swap whatever is the latest trend for more clicks and shares. Radical jumping subjects to see what sticks . Watch out for any FB group “ ____ for ___”

They’d better bring back illegal whiskey in the trunk as well, or I’m going to be mad. Think of how much more spectacular the crashes would be

Ugh, I saw that. Gonna warn the hell out of it for impersonating another page.
Someone put up a legitimate one that was like the original: https://www.facebook.com/OlDaleEarnhardt/

Ah. Figured out what happened here. There are TWO pages now, one of which is
run by some pro-flag
bunghole. We should put a stop to that.
Here’s the impostor, which even stole and rewrote some of the memes from the original page:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/theghostofoledaleearnhardt/about/?ref=page_internal
Someone set up a page that was like the original here, so you can actually tag this one when reporting the
impostor page:
https://www.facebook.com/OlDaleEarnhardt/ (Don’t warn this one—it’s the other one that’s the problem.)
A key thing to note is that the original Ghost of Ol Dale Earnhardt page sold merch, thus making it a business. Impersonating a business is against Facebook’s TOS, and while Facebook sucks at dealing with racism, maybe they’ll listen to complaints about impersonation.
So, on the impostor page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/theghostofoledaleearnhardt/about/?ref=page_internal - Hit Find Support or Report Page > Scams and Fake Pages > Pretending to be Another Business > Tag the legit page (which should auto-complete) as what they’re impersonating.
I actually wrote about the original, which shut down for a while but brought me far more joy than it had any right to: https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/04/dale-earnhardt-memes-intimidator-nascar-rabbit-holes.html

let’s burn down this Applebee’s.

There has been some great investigations by Renee Diresta, some of these groups are at best scammers and worst russian data miners.
