Any chance we can get Riley Dixon to drive?
The Syracuse Orange Football NIL held a golf tournament earlier in the week and sure they raised $2m for the NIL, but the real news was this:

We can’t say that “Orange is the New Fast” anymore so we’ll say that this car is going to be
Driven
At a
Ridiculous
Throttle
There weren’t a lot of details, but we assume that the NY Racing Team’s 44 car will be an all-out Syracuse affair. Fran Brown will be the crew chief and on the headset with driver JJ Yeley. If Yeley can’t get it done, then Fran will turn to Rickie Collins or Steve Angeli to pilot the D.A.R.T. mobile. The pit crew will be led by Derek McDonald, Dennis Jaquez and Tank Wilson with Yasin Willis handling the gas.
Can we get the NunesMagician logo on the car? Well, we’ve asked the Syracuse Football NIL to tell us the sponsor requirement in NunesBucks and we’re still waiting to hear back. If they don’t put us on the car, we’ll just have our social media interns blame it on the Chancellor and Wildhack.
See you at the Glen!
