The nascar season begins this weekend with the Daytona 500. While Auburn hasn't been represented at the big race, the Tigers have been on multiple NASCAR teams over the years.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
In 2013, jamiecmcmurray sported the Auburn logo on the hood of his Cessna-sponsored #1 Chevy. Auburn is a client of Cessna, the world's leading general aviation company. McMurray would take home the victory in the October Talladega Superspeedway race - his first win since 2010. The race victory came a day after Auburn defeated Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel in College Station.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Following Auburn's 2010 national championship, Michael Waltrip and the Aaron's Dream Machine sported the Auburn orange and blue for the April Talladega race. Waltrip's team spent multiple years showcasing national champions on his car. The #15 Toyota would finish 28th after a rough day at the track.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
In 2001, Elton Sawyer competed in the Busch Series. Starter Athletic sponsored the #98, and for 14 races, they promoted major universities located near the week's racetrack. Auburn was the first university in the promotion, taking a ride around Talladega Superspeedway. Sawyer would finish the race in 6th place. Georgia and Tennessee were the only other SEC schools involved with the promotion.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2006 Auburn graduate Marc Mitchell raced a few seasons in NASCAR's Truck Series. Before he made it to that level, Mitchell spent a few seasons racing in the ASA series. Mitchell raced an orange and blue Auburn-logoed car in 2004 and 2005. #34 was used in honor of Bo Jackson, Mitchell's favorite athlete.⠀He raced a similar scheme in the ARCA series but sported the #3 on that car.⁣
⠀⁣
Another Auburn graduate, bretholmes2, has previously worn an Auburn football-inspired helmet while racing in the ARCA series. Holmes took home the ARCA Menards Series trophy after the 2019 season and has expanded the race team into the NASCAR Trucks Series.⁣
