Racing Community Extremely Confused After NASCAR Teases a Jaw-Dropping Update

NASCAR’s 2023 season, or better, its 75th anniversary season, has been packed with goodies for the fandom. Foraying into uncharted territory at Le Mans and Chicago, fans were treated to a racing spectacle like no other. To further up the excitement quotient, this season also saw an all-time high influx of international drivers.

Even drivers like Chris Buescher and Michael McDowell had the racing community going bonkers with their surprise wins. Not done appeasing its fans, NASCAR recently teased an update hoping to once again enthrall the racing community. But the outcome was quite different as the update left fans scratching their heads. 

What caused the racing community’s confusion?

Easter eggs and teasers are the prevalent ways to keep the fans enthralled, and NASCAR is no different. For the 2023 season, NASCAR fans were handed their fair share of teaser drama. Earlier treated to new car livery unveils, the racing community was then handed a veiled announcement, hinting at a new partnership with a gaming giant. Be what it may, fans were enthralled at each and every turn. But who would have expected NASCAR’s next move?

Throwing a curveball at its audience, NASCAR recently put out a tweet on the NASCAR Classics account, causing utter confusion. Writing “What have we here?” as the tweet’s caption, NASCAR put out a digitally rendered image of what appears to be a grey Ford Mustang. Sitting on an assembly line, the car also has NASCAR’s signature golden, red, and blue stripes, with the words ‘Classics’ embossed in white on the left rear quarter panel. Apart from the above-mentioned details, no other information was provided by the motorsport organization.
