Another "big" driver of the Nascar circuit.  A fearless independent with no major sponsorship, Joe struggled at the the Grand National/Winston Cup level but was more competitive on the lower tiers of Racing.

I like that old school build.  Very nice!   

 

Btw,  how did you make those guardrails?  They are very realistic looking. 

[satterwhite78]

Take a corrugated cardboard (wavy reinforcement) box, cut the side off and soak it in water till you can peel each outer layer off exposing the wavy part.  Set that off to the side to dry out, then cut 2 ribs into strips then paint.  Several coats may be needed since the cardboard will soak up the paint.  Use wooden dowels ( to simulate the post) nailed/glued to a wood strip ( for a base) and then hot glue the painted "guard rails" to the dowels.  Then you have a guard rail section
