A whole slew of $500 car races this year
2010 will mark a historical year for automotive racing enthusiasts everywhere. Ok, we that’s a bit of a long shot. But wow, the 24 Hours of Lemons has announced 21 races, and their quasi-partner/spin-off Chump Car Challenge has also announced 21 races. So there you go, between those two series, you’ve got 42 potential racing options. Hopefully your fate ends up better than the culture|garage Cougar Bait 2009 Lamest Days race car. What I’m indicating is, I hope you make it longer than the 26 laps we lasted.
Now on to Chump Car, what’s the official story about these guys? Anyone have any insight?

Really!? That’s very interesting. Which specific tracks/events. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, straight from LeMons perp Jay Lamm Himself:
“There’s absolutely no affiliation. Nobody from ChumpCar has or ever had anything to do with LeMons, beyond renting us dates on their (apparently now out-of-business) racetrack.
We don’t endorse/approve/co-operate or anything else.” -Jay Lamm
As far as which dates, I don’t have them down. Click one, any one, and check it against it’s track calendar. There’s a pretty good chance it comes up as bunk.

ChumpCar is running right now on Sat March 13 at 10:19am at THE ROCK! Nothing link the banking at Rockingham in a $500 crap can. Currently a Jetta is in the lead, but it’s a long night ahead - anything can happen! Hendrick Motorsports/Jimmie Johnson’s Lowes #48 development drivers entered a team at the last minute. Not the ringers we thought they’d be; the car is already back in the garage after 40 mins on the track.

This has been a crazy idea on that car on the picture! But as of the moment, that kind of ChumpCar would be better if it be revived by good auto parts and accessories like Car Parts Los Angeles provides. All in all, this can be change by good materials.

We’ve done some fact checking about their future “dates” and it all looks murky. Some of those dates are taken up by other clubs - so something has to give!
