FIRST in NASCAR
 
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

In what is probably one of the coolest mainstream promotions of FIRST I have seen, at this Sunday's NASCAR race, Greg Biffle will be sporting a pretty sweet paint job on the #16 car...

For anyone who can't get on Facebook currently:

Can he drive the number 16 to a third straight win at Michigan with FIRST on the hood?
I certainly hope so. The exposure for FIRST would be great!

Anyone who has been to a NASCAR Race will know this will really make FIRST loud!

FIRST: Running circles around other high school sports

FIRST students are really going to lap this up

Our message is really picking up speed

Will his pit be restricted to a 10X10 square?

Sure, it's impressive that they can drive at such speeds. But can they launch a trackball over an overpass while they do it?


All bad jokes aside this is really exciting!! I might actually tune in for the race.

This is really impressive! FIRST is really working hard to make it loud and we should too!

OMG! One of my friends on my team is going to the race this weekend at MIS, he'll love it! I'm just jealous that I don't get to go...

It would be great if they put the hood on ebay after the race. Have the proceeds go to your favorite FIRST team.

Of course it is a game hint!
Maybe the other part of the game is throwing trackballs over an overpass.

Meh, it seems like a game that might have been good 5 years ago, but not in this day and age. :P

The increased availability of shifting transmissions would make overdrive a bit more exciting. Maybe if you mixed elements of Rack-N'-Roll/Logomotion in it would make for an interesting game.

Maybe the endgame should be how many 360s your robot can do in the last 10 seconds. (You know, like a burnout)

It's actually 3M who is doing this. Last week they announced that they were giving up one of their weeks on the hood of the 16 so that they could promote FISRT even more than they already do ($1.5+ million). They are definitely doing a good job of making FIRST loud!
