I am of an era of iconic cars in pop culture. On television there was Adam West's "Batmobile" from the 1960s "Batman" show. Even though it was a cartoon, there was "Speed Racer's" "Mach 5." Later, who could forget "KITT" from "Knight Rider?" And in real life, there's the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. The only thing better than seeing it parked and giving it the once over is when you happen to see it next to you on the highway. It's an unbelievable laugh that is guaranteed to break the monotony of any drive.
Anyway, you can see the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile this weekend. NASCAR returns to the Queen City and the Wienermobile is coming with it! Today, The Wienermobile will be parked outside at the NASCAR Bank of America Roval 400 STEAM Expo at 5555 Concord Pkwy South, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Then tomorrow, the iconic weenie on wheels will be making an appearance at the 23XI Racing event at Walmart, 3240 Wilkinson Blvd., on Saturday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and again on Sunday from noon-6 p.m.
Earlier this year, Oscar Mayer appeared to be taking a turn for the woke-worst attempting to rename the vehicle, "Frank." Yeah, that landed with a thud. It is, has been, and ever shall be the Wienermobile and you can see it in person this weekend.
These are the Most Wreck-Prone NASCAR Cup Drivers
Crashing ruins the promise of a race day for NASCAR betting fans as well as drivers. It is possible for multiple cars to slide sideways at some tracks, sending the unluckiest among them taking heavy damage and ending their events early. Bookies.com crunched the data and found out which NASCAR drivers wreck the most and which wreck the least.
See the rest of the current NASCAR Cup Series drivers ranked by the percentage of races they have finished in their careers here.
Which NASCAR Drivers Fail To Finish Most Often?
Behind The NASCAR Crash Numbers
You may be surprised by some of these numbers. First, it's obvious that the Dillon boys are grandchildren of a race team owner because they know how to take care of equipment. Harvick, for example, has averaged fewer than two DNFs per season over a period of two decades. Good drivers don't just compete but also avoid other drivers' messes, and the prospect of a crash shouldn't deter any bettor from backing them.
McDowell in the Fast-Lane
McDowell is on the other end of this list. Firstly, he won the 2021 Daytona 500, so we know he can race at a high level in extremely tight traffic. The reason why McDowell's crash rates are so high is that he raced for lower-end teams during the "start-and-park" era following the 2008 financial crash-when sponsors dried up, NASCAR race fields got sparse, and shoestring teams were able to collect a few grand by taking the checkered flag, coasting at the back for a few laps, and then reporting a breakdown.
