Star Wars and Motorsports - A Surprisingly Intertwined History.

I actually had this blogpost planned out for a rainy day - I thought about maybe doing it for May 4th, 2025 as a Star Wars Day thingie - however, today, James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93. I knew him as Darth Vader and Mufasa, but he played a lot of roles and provided a lot of iconic voices, others may know him from the Sandlot, Coming to America, or dozens of other roles over the years.

Rest in peace.

In his honor, I'd like to do my little part, so...a discussion of the long and intertwined history of Star Wars and motorsports.

The first relates to Darth Vader himself, as a dark and imposing figure, was associated with Dale Earnhardt in NASCAR. Yup, known as the Intimidator and as the Man in Black already for his iconic black and gray GM Goodwrench #3 Chevy, Dale Earnhardt was also nicknamed the Darth Vader of motorsports a few times in the 1980s and 1990s.

The black helmet and sunglasses played into that.

Somewhat more substantively, there is also the world of Star Wars sponsorships in racing, with Pepsi and Lucasfilm teaming up to sponsor Jeff Gordon at the 1999 CarQuest Auto Parts 400 Busch Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, promoting Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Gordon would suffer a mechanical failure...which is probably for the best because it had Jar-Jar on the left rear quarter panel.

Fast forward to the 2002 Coke 600, also at Charlotte, and Lucasfilm tried again, this time teaming up with Cheerios to sponsor John Andretti in the #43 car in the Cup series. This was the big leagues, and with them backing a midpack car, fifteenth was actually a respectable finish.

For Revenge of the Sith in 2005, the marketing campaign was back in force. First things first, there were four NASCARs that year, starting with both Yates Racing cars at the 2005 Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix. Elliott Sadler drove the M&Ms #38 with a Dark Chocolate themed Dark Side paint scheme, while his teammate Dale Jarrett had a UPS/Milk Chocolate M&Ms Light Side car. The Dark Side car had Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and a Stormtrooper on it. The Light Side car had Anakin Skywalker, the green M&M with Princess Leia hair, and a C3PO M&M.

Pretty odd character choices for Revenge of the Sith but eh, it's all for fun. Anyway, Sadler finished 11th and Jarrett finished 23rd, so I guess the Dark Side won...which I suppose is appropriate, given the movie they're tying into.

So, at the very next race, Star Wars tried again. Teaming up with Jeff Gordon and Pepsi again, this time it was in the Cup Series, sponsoring the Hendrick Motorsports #24 at the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. This car, with Yoda on the hood, would go on to win the race in dominant fashion, leading 139 laps.

Jeff Gordon would also pose with Darth Vader and some stormtroopers ahead of the race, which seems like a conflict of interest given the Yoda car.

Fallen to the Dark Side, Jeff Gordon has.

Finally, Hendrick Motorsports got another Star Wars car, with Episode III sponsoring Kyle Busch's #5 at the amazingly named Chevy American Revolution 400 at Richmond. This Kellogg's car was Mustafar themed with a lava theme on a black base. It has Darth Vader and Mace Windu on it, which...neither is exactly a great fit for Mustafar, what with Windu being dead and Vader only gaining the iconic armor and red lightsaber because of the events of Mustafar.

Kyle finished fourth, another good result for Star Wars.

This wasn't all though, because at the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix in Formula One, Star Wars teamed up with Red Bull Racing to sponsor a car. Much like the Kyle Busch car, it was their regular livery with some orange-yellow Star Wars lettering and a lava/fire theme along the bottom.

Drivers David Coulthard and Vitantonio Liuzzi also got a Star Wars photo op to go with it, this time taking pictures with Darth Vader, two stormtroopers, Chewbacca, C3PO, and also George Lucas himself.

A few years later, at the 2008 Peak Antifreeze Indy Grand Prix at Sonoma, the third to last round of the 2008 Indycar Series, Lucasfilm and Blockbuster (lol) teamed up to sponsor Marco Andretti's #26 car. He would finish fourteenth on that occasion.

This was actually the second collaboration between Marco Andretti, Blockbuster, and Lucasfilm that year, as he actually drove an Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull car at the 2008 Indianapolis 500, finishing third.

More recently, at the 2023 NASCAR Championship Race at Phoenix, Star Wars and Columbia Sportswear teamed up to sponsor the 23XI cars. Bubba Wallace in the #23 ran an X-Wing car and even had Mark Hamill appear in the unveiling commercial, while Tyler Reddick in the #45 ran a TIE Fighter car.

Bubba Wallace finished 10th, and Tyler Reddick finished 22nd.

Two Light Side versus Dark Side races at Phoenix, the Dark Side drew first blood but then the Light Side won most recently. We're gonna need a tiebreaker.

So, that's what I got in terms of Star Wars sponsorships, but that's always been Star Wars going into motorsports. How about motorsports going into Star Wars?

Well, believe it or not, there is an example.

Podracing.

Yup, and not just in the "hey look, it's racing!" way, nope. At the 1998 Miller Lite 200 at Mid-Ohio, George Lucas and his crew recorded the sounds of the CART race to use as part of the sound mix for the podracing scenes in Episode I.

In fact - and unfortunately, I haven't seen the film so I can't confirm - I've seen the claim that the podracing sequence in Episode I mirrors the Monza race from the classic Formula One movie Grand Prix, which George Lucas is actually credited on as an assistant camera operator - which would lend some credence to the theory.

So yeah, I know I've kept this blog motorsports focused but I am a big Star Wars fan and have been for most of my life. To hear about James Earl Jones passing it's...it's just like...wow. It's unthinkable in a way. Obviously, he was getting older and all that, and there was that story a few years ago about him selling his voice rights to Disney, but like...to think that Darth Vader's voice actor is dead? That's crazy to me.

It's one of the biggest losses in recent media history, I think.

There will never be another voice quite that famous.

Saturday Morning Coffee

Good morning! ☕️

It’s been an interesting week with our new pup, Cocoa. Potty training a puppy is quite a chore and there are lots of accidents while doing it. We’ve figured out her pattern and have been taking her out every few hours. She’s doing really well! 🐶

San Joaquin Valley Sun

A frantic, three-month cash dash by Jake Soberal, the chief executive officer of Bitwise Industries, to convince local investors to provide hard money loans may have ultimately led to the sprawling tech hub and real estate venture’s undoing.

I hope everyone affected by this is able to find work soon. This furlough affected 900 people. That’s just horrible.

I’m hopeful Bitwise will be able to get this all figured out and continue operations soon, but it looks pretty grim. 😔

iamthatis • Reddit

I’ll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined.

I feel terrible for Christian. Apollo, his Reddit client, is arguably the best iOS client application on the market. It’s the client application I use and it’s beautifully designed and extremely stable.

Reddit just wants to destroy all third-party applications. Just come out and say that.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this Christian. ❤️

Yet another example of a service destroying the business of a tiny developer who made the “mistake” of using their free API.

Inside Climate News

Climate change is spurring interest in remaking local infrastructure to accommodate renewable energy, minimize power failures and expand consumer choice.

I really like this idea of a “Mom & Pop” sized local energy producer.

Of course progressive towns would choose solar and wind energy while red states would pump out energy using coal and fossil fuels.

Louie Mantia

I am proudly publishing this post from my new home in Tokyo, Japan.

Good for you Louie! There’s a part of me that wishes we’d traveled more often when we were younger.

I’m realizing waiting until retirement to get out into the world is a huge mistake. You bust your butt for a long time, retire, then can’t get around because your body hurts so much you don’t feel like getting out. Who called them the golden years? Probably some ad agency. 🤣

The Associated Press

The North Carolina base was originally named in 1918 for Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina, who was known for owning slaves and losing key Civil War battles that contributed to the Confederacy’s downfall.

The dude was a loser so let’s name a US Military Base after him. 🤣

Thank you Confederate Bragg for helping the United States defeat the Confederacy and abolish slavery.

The Confederacy needs to be completely smashed. It should remain in history books and be shamed every chance we get.

Ben & Jerry’s

Ben & Jerry’s business model is built around the idea that every decision we make, and every dollar we spend in the course of our day-to-day operations is an opportunity to advance our progressive values.

Let’s hear it for progressing values!

Go buy a pint of Chubby Hubby, Phish Food, Cherry Garcia, or your own personal favorite and support a wonderful progressive company.

Salon

The last time I saw my great-uncle, he uttered six words that I will never forget. Struggling to speak, as he was already 102 years old, his mouth slowly formed each syllable with excruciating effort: “Nazis… are… bastards… Shoot… to… kill!"

And there you have it, direct from someone who knows a thing or two about Nazis.

NASCAR

NASCAR has implemented an update to the Next Gen NASCAR Cup Series chassis that will go into effect beginning with this weekend’s action at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Part of what fascinates me about motor sports is the ever evolving technology. When Kyle Larson was hit broadside by Ryan Preece at Talladega it caused the roll cage to fail. Luckily it was on the passenger side of the car. NASCAR did an analysis of the situation and altered the design of the Next Gen frame to reinforce it.

I’ve often wondered why drivers aren’t positioned in the center of the car when I see an incident like that one. It’s probably been studied and found to be less safe for all I know. 🏁

CNN

Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.

Oh, look, the Orange Menace is running his mouth again.

I’ve said it many times but I don’t care if he does time as long as he’s disqualified from running for any public office.

Jail time would be a nice bonus. 🚨

Heather Cox Richardson

Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S. Army personnel in the European theater of World War II. Titled Army Talks, the series was designed “to help [the personnel] become better-informed men and women and therefore better soldiers.”

It really does feel like we are going more and more down the fascism rabbit hole here in The States. I wish the divide, growing larger and larger with each passing day, could be mended so we could move forward as a united nation.

Journeyman Appreciation: Tim Fedewa

It has been too long since I have done one of these posts, so I thought Throwback Weekend is a perfect time for some journeyman appreciation. Today the spotlight is on Tim Fedewa, I think one of the best Busch Grand National Series drivers of the 1990s who never got a full-time ride at any point in the Cup series. 

Coming out of Michigan from an accomplished regional racing family, Tim made a splash in the ARTGO and ASA series in the early 90s where he won Rookie of the Year in both series driving for Ray DeWitt who notably was a Cup series owner at the time who gave fellow upper-midwesterner Ted Musgrave his big start in the series, though Tim only finished 15th and 16th in points his two seasons of ASA before being given the chance to move up into NASCAR.

Running in the Busch Series for DeWitt, Tim had 4 top 10 finishes as a rookie, finishing a decent 18th in points in 1993 and runner up for ROTY. He doubled his number of top 10s in his sophomore season and scored his first top 10 finish in points coming through in 10th. In 1995 his number of top 10 finishes halved but he scored double the amount of top 5 finishes (4) than he had his entire career to that point (2) and went to victory lane for the first time at Nazareth Speedway in Pennsylvania en route to a 7th place finish in points. Tim also made his one and only Winston Cup start in 1994 in several attempts for Ray DeWitt, coming home with a 23rd place finish at Dover 13 laps down. 

1996 saw Tim Fedewa leave the RaDius team for Doug Taylor’s Ford, which despite Kleenex sponsorship would be a wildly disappointing year featuring career lows in top 10s (2), average finish, and points standings in 20th. This wouldn’t end the association with Kleenex though who followed Tim to his next destination and best opportunity to this point, taking over a second car for the championship winning BACE Motorsports team driving a number 33 Chevy. This allowed Fedewa a return to form, matching his career high in top 5s and easily scoring a career best top 10 high with 11 and returning back to the top 10 in points with a 9th place finish. The next year produced numbers very similar to 1997 with the addition to returning to victory lane for the first time since ‘95, once again at Nazareth and at the Virginia short track of South Boston and he tied his career best finish of 7th in points. 

1999 saw Tim move over to the 36 Stanley Tools Pontiac for Scott Welliver that David Green had been very competitive with the year before, once again putting in similar stats (3 top 5s, 9 top 10s) but seeing a high number of DNFs taking down his average finish several pegs and coming home a disappointing 14th in points, his lowest since his year with Doug Taylor. 2000 would see Tim win his last career race and cement his legacy as a flat track master at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but his top 10 count (6) dropped, the number of crashes ticked up, and in legendarily one of the most competitive fields the Busch Series ever had that year he managed only an 18th place finish in the championship.

Switching over to the more successful 66 car Todd Bodine had made a legend of the era for 2001, Tim struggled mightily other than a couple top 5 finishes and was replaced almost exactly halfway through the year with Geoffrey Bodine. This began the “supersub” era of Tim’s career, in the second half of 2001 Tim would race for 4 different teams, scoring top 10s for Buckshot Racing and Armando Fitz. In 2002, Tim would race for 5 different teams in 9 starts most of which came with Ted Marsh and Herzog Motorsports (3 each), with his best run famously coming in a Biagi Bros 2nd car that was meant to start and park at Talladega with no pit crew before Mike Wallace in their primary car was involved in the field destroying early incident, allowing Tim to run the rest of the race with Mike’s pit crew and tires and coming home with a 3rd place finish despite being unable to stay in the draft and receiving burns on his feet with the poorly prepared backup car. 

Over halfway through 2003 Tim Fedewa hadn’t made a single start in NASCAR when the FitzBradshaw team decided to part ways with Kerry Earnhardt and asked Tim to fill in, no doubt inspired by the 6th place finish at Memphis Tim had managed in his lone start for Fitz. Although he finished no better than 12th, he improved the team’s consistency enough to earn his first full-time ride since 2001 in 2004, scoring a top 5 and 5 top 10s in what would be his last complete season and coming home 16th in points. After switching to Dodge, the team took a nosedive in performance the next season without a single top 10 in 21 races and a number of accidents, and Fedewa was let go after Pikes Peak which would be his last ever BGN start, qualifying 23rd and finishing 18th. 

While Tim would make 8 starts in the Truck series in 2005 and 2006 with a best finish of 10th for the fledgling Glynn Motorsports at Las Vegas, his career effectively ended after that point. If that was totally the end of his run in NASCAR, I think its safe to say he’d be fondly remembered as one of the best journeymen of his era who never competed for titles but won some races and scored a number of top 10 points finishes against a number of drivers who would find themselves getting Cup opportunities that largely alluded Tim. However, he wasn’t totally done, not long after finding himself with a spotting job with Red Bull Racing, that eventually led to the pairing with Kevin Harvick and Stewart-Haas Racing that resulted in an overall championship, a regular season championship, countless wins, and a reputation as one of the best spotters in the entire business in high demand in all three series as well as ARCA

Ryan Blockheartz brings Michael Salvagni Racing back to Lucas Oil Racing League in 2021

Ryan Blockheartz owned Team Salvagni from 2015-to-2017. The team qualified for two races in five races while Drew Davis drove the the #99 Toyota Camry. The team did not start at Texas Motorsports and wrecked early at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The wreck caused the #99 terminal damage. Davis retired from the race on Lap 100 of 267 after the #99 lost its engine. The 2017 season saw Davis returning…

Ross Chastain cherishes first title bout despite falling short: 'I'm so proud'

Ross Chastain cherishes first title bout despite falling short: 'I'm so proud'

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Ross Chastain was sure that coming close but falling short in pursuit of his first NASCAR Cup Series championship would sting.

Sunday afternoon saw part of that come to fruition: A third-place effort around Phoenix Raceway just 1.268 seconds off the back bumper of race and title winner Joey Logano left Chastain a runner-up in the championship race. Yet there was little bitterness — if any at all — as he took to the media center podium shortly after nearly conquering one of his life goals.

“The emotions are surprisingly good,” Chastain said. “Like, I‘m not sad. I‘m not upset. I honestly thought when we started the playoffs that if we made it, as I go through different scenarios — I do think about what I‘m going to think about ahead of time and think about what my thoughts are going to be and what I want them to be, and then I try to evaluate as I go.

“I thought if I — like this scenario, if I lost by a little bit, that I would be really upset, and I‘m not. Like I‘m so proud and so happy to give our first shot at these playoffs and at racing in the Cup Series with Trackhouse, and we just ran second.”

A dream season ended two spots short on the 1-mile desert oval. But the reflection of his journey — an eighth-generation watermelon farmer who rose to the NASCAR national series level 11 years ago and clawed through numerous underfunded rides all the way to a title-contending effort at the sport’s pinnacle — didn’t leave Chastain wallowing.

“I feel like I‘m on a never-ending hamster wheel to be the best version of myself, and that‘s not going to stop,” Chastain said. “I hope that I never lose that drive because I wake up and I think about how can I drive a race car fast. That is my main priority every day of my life now, and it has been for the past probably seven or eight years.

“It wasn‘t at the beginning of my career. Before that it was how can I raise the funds to race, and before that was what do we need to do at the farm to grow a crop.

“You look at the progression of my mindset that comes natural when I wake up, and I feel like I‘m on a never-ending evolution to be better, and I can‘t wait to get to work this offseason.”

His efforts from 2021 to 2022 were extremely fruitful, producing his first two Cup Series victories at Circuit of The Americas and Talladega Superspeedway. The last year and a half has been a roller coaster of the aforementioned journey.

In June 2021, Chastain was at Dover Motor Speedway when he was texted the news that Justin Marks was purchasing Chip Ganassi Racing, where Chastain was employed as the driver of its No. 42 Chevrolet. With him was Darian Grubb, the Director of Performance for CGR then and now the same for Trackhouse.

Their hearts sank, burdened with the uncertainty, but that moment proved pivotal for two future Trackhouse employees.

“I’d say that was a big moment for himself and me personally,” Grubb told NASCAR.com, “because we were able to bond by sharing that news with each other at a test and trying to figure out what we’re going to do and just have each other’s back and know when we’re gonna go forward with it. Neither one of us knew at that point, whether we’re gonna make it and we both did. Now we’re here.”

So, too, is Chastain’s crew chief Phil Surgen. The duo finished 20th in points a season ago, netting the first three top-five finishes of Chastain’s career in addition to eight top 10s. This year, those numbers exploded — two wins punctuating series-bests in top fives (15) and top 10s (21).

“We had the opportunity to build the team from the ground up,” Surgen told NASCAR.com. “Me and Ross had worked together before. We absorbed a lot of the Ganassi employees, which I had a ton of confidence in and it’s been great. It’s been a great journey, just kind of growing and building together.”

The weight of the questions ahead lingered heavily on Chastain’s mind after the 2021 finale — a feeling he recalled clearly Sunday afternoon.

“I look at when we pulled down the backstretch 20th in the points last year with the 42, had a cooler full of beverages and, you know, walked away not knowing what the future was,” Chastain said. “We knew that tomorrow morning, Monday morning, we were walking in with new ownership and Chip (Ganassi) and Doug Duchardt and so many people that we had bet on being there for a long time in that 42 car, it was their time to step away. And there was a lot of unknowns.

“And you know, to look back and think we ran (14th) in this race, I believe, and 20th in driver points, to come back and run third today and second in the spring and fight for a championship, we’re only going to get better.”

Chastain was quick to credit the Next Gen car for Trackhouse’s immediate competitive nature, particularly in adding a second team to what was a single-car operation out of the Richard Childress Racing camp for Daniel Suárez in 2021.

“They took a big leap of faith with this car, the France family and NASCAR did,” Chastain said. “Obviously I‘m really thankful for that because it put Trackhouse into existence, and it gave us kind of the reason that we‘ve been able to be successful.”

The enthusiasm surrounding the No. 1 team’s success in its inaugural year already appears to be permeating the 2023 preparation.

“To ultimately get the results and be here to fight and finish second in the championship’s just really reassuring, confidence-building for next year. And, you know, largely our team is going to be the same and I can’t wait for next season.”
