Becoming a race car driver is a dream for many, something that comes naturally to mostly affluent and privileged individuals. Despite being revered as a blue-collar man’s racing series, NASCAR has now become a money game for the rich, where investing a couple of millions will get you into the pool with the best racers around the world.
However, for the average individual, getting into a race team or buying their way into the sport is far from reality. However, throw in a few thousand dollars, and one can actually get their hands on what the elites are dealing with. Yes, one can now get a race-spec track-bred truck, something close to the real deal, at a steal as low as five thousand dollars.

Owing a high-performance car, or, say, a race-spec machine, is simply the stuff of dreams for many racing enthusiasts, let alone being a professional racer, racing cars for a living. Generally, a person who wants a high-performance car has a couple of options. First and foremost, save some money and cash in the dough and get yourself a filtered-down-road version of your favorite race car.
Or one can look at financing, paying it in dues until it leaves a hole in the wallet, making it more troublesome. What if we tell you there’s another way one can actually find a race-spec machine with all the goodies, ready to tear up the track, or can be the daily commuter if some parts are taken away? Sound interesting?
Unlike NASCAR trucks, which cost millions of dollars, or the trickled-down version of race cars, RacingJunkie.com has something that might be of interest. The website has some fascinating propositions that could be taken into serious consideration. One can get a race-spec Chevy Colorado truck, a Florida-based Pro truck badged #99 that comes with a 3-speed auto that can make one’s life super jolly.
While most of these trucks are tried and tested on the track, owing to their racing backgrounds, interested individuals can even get a piece of racing history with one of these cars. Moreover, they come with race-speed suspension, a roll cage, and a stiff chassis that is wrapped around a specially picked crate engine that will fuel one’s racing aspirations.

A total of four overtimes extended the race beyond the prescribed limit, pushing the race into chaos and angering NASCAR Nation as senior drivers doubled down on the field’s actions. Following the carnage, NASCAR has now stepped up its action, decking Corey Heim with a $12,500 fine for violating the NASCAR Member Code of Conduct, which falls under Rule Book Sections 4.4.B and D, for his run-in with fellow championship contender Carson Hocevar in the closing laps of the race.
The sanctioning body has also cut 25 points from the driver for his actions. Mentioning Heim’s radio message, NASCAR was prompted to levy the penalty on three grounds:

- Attempting to manipulate the outcome of the race or championship.
- Wrecking or spinning another vehicle, whether or not that vehicle is removed from competition as a result.
