Full Throttle

Ok members of NASCAR Nation it’s pop quiz time.

Dedicated fans know a lot about their favored driver and or team, some of that knowledge may include drivers ahem… “social contacts” outside the track (read, main squeeze) or the name of a drivers spotter on race day.

But… can some, or any of you name a drivers substitute that may be used in case of injury or more likely when a driver needs someone to qual a car while he’s off racing somewhere else.

Specifically, can anyone name the drivers that have been designated as substitutes for this weekends Nationwide event in Nashville?

In a cheap ploy to build suspense the list of substitute drivers can be found below the fold.

In a North American exclusive the Half-Vast™ Staff of Full Throttle provides Marcos Ambrose fans this sneak peek (see pages 8-9) of the livery his #59 Ford Fusion will be wrapped in at Nashville.

Old-time King Richard/STP fans are warned to look away as the sight may lead to unknown medical complications that the Staff are SO not totally responsible for, so don’t even try it.

We have lawyers to, cheap ones, that wear seersucker suits and drink generic gin!
