[QUOTE]NASCAR and sponsorship run hand-in-hand. The high costs of racing a car means that wrapping it in corporate logos is of vital importance. What happens when you don't have a sponsor? You can try and do as best you can, or you can let the internet help you by wrapping your car in a Shiba Inu meme.
The folks at r/dogecoin discovered that Josh Wise and the No.98 car were without a sponsor. They made it their mission to raise the $55,000 needed to cover his car in their beloved dogecoin for one race. Now they've met that goal and the aim is to wrap the No. 98 for Talladega[/QUOTE]
This is in the Sprint Cup (NASCAR's highest series) race at Talladega, May 3rd.
I just. What.
Wowe.
Dogecoin is so awesome.
Well, I have to say, at least Dogecoin is showing people how stupid the cryptocurrency fad is.
hahaha this is fantastic!
Cool
it's all fun and games until the next president of the United States turns to be sponsored mainly in dogecoin
It could be worse. He could also have been sponsored by literal Butt Paste, which is certainly several times more embarrassing.

That is... impressive.
dogecoin community this is not how you get to the moon, it's the wrong vehicle and it's only going left.

and also how lucrative
First they bring the Jamaicans to the Olympics now they bring a man to NASCAR...
Soon enough they'll be putting people on Mars.
edit: Almost ninja'd.
I actually quite like the colour scheme, if only it didn't have the massive dogecoin logo on the bonnet.

BitCoin was a serious thing at one point, and now it's like the Occupy protests where you have the people against it using the things that sprang up around it to just utterly annihilate and remove any point or meaning from it. And the people engaged in it following right along are like "fuck yeah" even though they're being used as tools to make a mockery of it all so as to make it appear completely illegitimate.

Stupid? It's clearly very powerful in our economy. They just sponsored an actual racecar. You can think it's stupid, but I don't see anyone doing it using their currency of choice beyond dollars. It's honestly fairly impressive.

Diaper rash is a serious issue for the people who sit around watching NASCAR.
the best thing about this will be hearing the commentators try and say it

They're not sponsoring anything with an actual currency. They're donating a commodity that only holds as much value as someone else is willing to pay for it, then converting that value into US dollars. It'd be exactly like funding this with TF2 keys. No one would claim TF2 keys are a real currency.

Congrats you live in a country with that same type of currency. The US dollar is worth exactly how much the government says it's worth. I guess your bank account is worthless too?

If it's still worth something, why complain?
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

You would forever be the guy that drove the Butt Paste car.
thats a lot of corgies
They've raised/donated so much to charity and stuff. It's crazy.
Take the piss out of it all you want but I don't see you making anyone's olympic dreams etc come true.

Actually bitcoin is pretty cool now as it kinda seems to have stabilized. I like it.
Dogecoin is a joke coin and everyone knows that, even the users, but because of that it's also a rebel coin. Dogecoin community is by miles the nicest crypto community there is and they just do the opposite other coins do. They dance to the world middle fingers held high while spreading happiness and potential. Doge is Richard Branson.
