Chevy Tows Gigantic Texas Flag With Truck, Also Sets World Record With Other Flag
Chevy Tows Gigantic Texas Flag With Truck, Also Sets World Record With Other Flag-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:28

What do you do when you’ve got a lot of state pride and a lot of race track? You drive around that race track waving the glory of the red, white and blue—the Lone Star one, of course. Everything is bigger in Texas, y’all.

The Texas Motor Speedway and Chevy offices evidently got bored enough over the week to , so they hooked a Texas flag (and some other flag with more stars) to the back of a new Silverado HD and drove around the race track. Disappointingly, the other flag—which represents a collective of states where you may or may not be able to secure good barbecue and breakfast tacos—actually broke the record.

The world record was for the largest flag pulled by a moving vehicle, and the Guinness website . The other flag pictured above measured nearly 40 feet by 80 feet with an area of 3,186 square feet, and Chevy’s press release says it had to be pulled 328 feet without touching the ground. The truck pulled the flag for four laps around the 1.5-mile (7,920-foot) track, easily breaking the world record. Great job, other flag.

Anyway, the real show came later when they brought out a massive Texas flag to commemorate the State Fair of Texas that kicked off on Friday. Just look at this beauty! There’s nothing more to say.

Texas, y’all. This is how we do things.

Formula One Is Infinitely Better In 8-Bit
The 2016 Formula One season didn’t elicit the most exciting descriptions, with “like watching paint dry” and “the Mercedes parade” being the two I hear most often. When you skip all the boring stuff and put the highlights into a clever 8-bit cartoon, however, it’s pretty great. Everything from Ricciardo’s...

Dear Mercedes F1 Team: Please Hire Jeff Gordon's Sad, Neglected Teammate Already
As I type, Mercedes Replacement Watch is in full swing. Nico Rosberg’s departure left a gaping hole in Mercedes’ Formula One line-up well after most top teams chose their drivers for 2017. While the involve poaching Williams driver Valtteri Bottas, I think there’s another driver who needs the attention more....

Nissan Restored This 30-Year-Old Race Truck For All The Right Reasons
In an era that seems dominated by cynicism and corporate greed, the story of some Nissan engineers spending nights and weekends to restore a piece of automotive history “just because” is enough to lift anyone’s spirits. Behold: the 1987 Nissan Patrol Fanta Limon Paris-Dakar rally car, returned to its former...

It’s been nearly two weeks since official drink of sick vape rips Monster Energy was announced as the new title sponsor for NASCAR’s top-tier “Cup” series. Problem is, we still don’t know what to call the series since it won’t be the “Sprint Cup” anymore. Naturally, we here at Jalopnik...
