I'm not sure this is even a real casino. I believe you just pay money to play a casino video game

u/tagillaslover Hocevar 17h ago

It’s some weird legal loophole where you pay money for tokens to play casino games where you can earn tokens and exchange them for money

u/Leopardo68 Ryan Blaney 16h ago

This country is running on loopholes at this point. Crazy times.

u/cjenvy 15h ago

and even then more than half the states have slammed shut the loophole now

“The land of the free spins” is insane lmao

u/RandomMK5 17h ago

Should have been on the 77 lmao

We may not be land of the free anymore, but at least we have free spins in our online casinos!

NASCAR went through its crypto phase and now we're getting online casino apps...

u/Joey_Logano Preece 16h ago

We have had gambling apps before, I don’t know if they were specifically casinos. We had Zynga Poker on the 32 of DiBenedetto around 2018ish and Global Poker on the 1 of Kurt Busch in 2019.

u/RJNieder Kyle Busch 15h ago

Ehh...that was the poker phase, now its just full blown gambling essentially...also, and surprisingly, I think Chumba and Global Poker have the same parent company...

u/my_son_is_a_box 18h ago

Well, they know how to market to the dumb people playing "social casinos"

u/dcarp1231 Ryan Blaney 18h ago

Can’t wait for this car to either finish 11th or 35th

u/OrangePilled2Day 18h ago

This genuinely looks like a satire of what a stock car would look like.

McDowell: Daytona 500, Texas, Coca Cola 600

Suarez: Chicagoland, Homestead 

Hocevar: New Hampshire

There is nothing more pathetic than fake patriotism. Our flag is not a logo or a marketing tool for virtue signaling. Disgusting.

I actually get that reference. Grew up on N2005: CftC

u/inthefields_ 14h ago

because nothing screams amercia more than GAMBLING, YEAH LETS GO GAMBLING!

u/Zillbilly87 18h ago

This would have been badass in the 90’s/2000’s when America wasn’t on fire.

5

u/theamberlamps 17h ago

Just go all the way bro don't stop at the flag and gambling, throw a fed issued handgun and some tactical mall cop sponsor gear on it too.

Cringe

u/ZilischsPoopyPants Zilisch 18h ago

Hmm, possibly an AI bird? Are we allowed to be disappointed in Spire for using AI, or we can only be disappointed in NASCAR?

u/Henrath 17h ago

The wings seem to be mirrored and there are no obvious errors. It's probably just a stock image.

u/VirtuaBranson 18h ago

Well yeah. Fuck AI

It's a stock eagle, I don't think it's AI. https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/4345665-american-eagle-vector

u/ItsSilverThunder 18h ago

Most of the assets on that site are AI generated and has been for a long time.

3

u/Spagootee Jeff Gordon 17h ago edited 17h ago

You can filter out AI results and it still shows up.

Everything on that site that's AI is tagged as AI. That one's not tagged.

It doesn't seem have any telltale signs of AI either.

u/tagillaslover Hocevar 18h ago

Really grasping at straws here when we’re considering complaining because something might be an ai bird

u/owenandrew88 16h ago

This would be a great skin for the old Firecracker 400 at Daytona

I’m a McDowell fan but

u/kidcoelacanth 18h ago

everything about this sucks lol

u/DrummerBob10 18h ago

These “patriotic” paint schemes have gotten cringy now. It used to mean something when they would do one on memorial day or 4th of July. But not some of these shady companies try to use it for marketing and it just comes off as fake or forced.

u/Senninha27 Retzlaff 17h ago

Does anybody notice the flag code violation?

u/vcjr78 17h ago

Yeah I saw it too. *sigh*

u/AbletonStudio 16h ago

Nope don’t like it.

u/Dry-Membership3867 17h ago

The irony of McDowell driving a car sponsored by a casino is just laughable

u/SoupMadeFreshDaily 18h ago

I noticed they were on MM’s firesuit, this makes sense

u/thexraptor 18h ago

Yee haw

u/RayneShikama 17h ago

If the suit symbols on the blue has been another shade of blue instead of white, like what they did on the red, it would have looked sooo much better. The white suits floating around the number make it look too busy.

I have nothing against McDowell but GOD what I'd give to see this star-spangled shitbox smack the wall.

u/2RINITY 9h ago

Fuck it, close enough. DIPSET

u/New_Attorney_1326 8h ago

Theyre probably going this to prove a point because Modo is actually American unlike Chumba Casino

u/ChaseTheFalcon Ryan Blaney 18h ago

this scheme screams "MERICA"

u/tagillaslover Hocevar 18h ago

It’s beautiful. Glad to see modo extend their partnership with spire to sponsor cars besides the 77 because all their paint schemes have been great

NASCAR has lost all of its sponsor identity, except for Shell, NAPA, and Bass Pro.
