Hello everyone
The 2018 motorsport season kicks up a gear this weekend with the 60th running of the Daytona 500, NASCAR's blue riband event. We've decided to celebrate this anniversary by taking a look at some familiar F1 Rejects tackling the fearsome superspeedway.
Our globetrotting former site editor
Ataxia has kindly compiled this brilliant article, which you can read right here today!

I know you have other reasons for leaving your role as GPRejects editor, but this pun is probably the
main reason why.
You couldn't bring yourself to release such a horrible yet brilliant pun for the world to see. You fled from the role of editor just so that pun wouldn't get published under your command. Is that true, Ataxia?
I joke, I joke, obviously. Well written article, Ataxia. Cheating a bit with that last driver, but I guess it's okay to count him in given his legendary status.

A. J. Foyt did appear on the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix entry list for Anglo American Racers, probably due to him making a rare trip to Europe to do Le Mans the week before.
Unfortunately, Gurney couldn't provide a third car (or a second, to be driven by McLaren) and Foyt was racing in Langhorne that weekend anyway...

Thanks all!
I've had to remove my name from it just to be sure that FOM won't start asking questions, rather than through any sense of pun-fueled shame.
