3 Career Wins

**Dave Alternators** (now **Davey Apex**) was a Piston Cup racer for team Re-Volting. He raced from 1996 to 2006. He is a 1999-2002 Crown Celesta. He changed his name because he hated his last name. He is the younger brother of Don Alternators.

Davey married his girlfriend Annie Lowe in 2001 and together they have three children. Gordon (born 2002), Sheldon (born 2004) and Colin (born 2006). Colin also is a racer. He is considered by many as a Piston Cup bust.

## History

Davey Apex debuted as part timer in 1994 with the name Dave Alternators. Dave blew his engine during qualifying for the 1994 Las Vegas 400 due to heat. His grandpa fainted and this caused his grandmother to convince the race officials to stop the race. The race would become the most infamous in Piston Cup History. He changed his name to Davey Apex in 1997 and went full time in 1998. He won 3 races in his career.

His performance was pretty poor in 2005 and 2006 which was enough for him to announce retirement. He liked the fans and tire rubber on the track but he did not like the racing part. After his retirement, the Piston Cup placed a ban on drivers sharing the same number as a different driver in the same series.

DrugGate

Drug Gate was started in 2009 when people accused Lightning McQueen of cheating after winning 8/10 of the first races.

It was started by Jay Crankspin (a blue 1985 Ford Thunderbird) when he posted the theory onto his Blinkr.

'Lightning is doping and has been for a long time. If he isn't doping then explain why he almost won in his rookie season, won 3 championships in 5 years and he suddenly wins 8/10 races.

His statement caused a huge flamewar on the internet, between the race cars and someone even went as far as to DDOS his website (Jayskee.) It also made it's way to the Piston Cup officating body and they did a surprise test on the entire Piston Cup field 4 weeks after the scandal. Among the stock cars that fought against Jay included the entire Stock Car Alliance and all of Lightning McQueen's friends

Lightning McQueen was shockingly found to have trace amounts of drugs in his system and was set to be banned for life from the Piston Cup and all his wins and championship reallocated, however the Rust-Eze law team pulled out legal paperwork (a certificate from a doctor and other things) that he was only using it for managing his anger.

Jay Crankspin later accused McQueen of forging his paperwork and not having enough evidence. Lightning stopped having the drugs and started having lessons to stay calm. Jay got blocked on Blinkr after that.

What happened to Jay afterwards is unknown but a neighbour confirmed Jay no longer lives in his town in Ohio. The most likely thing is Jay moved to another country to avoid his haters as New Rearendians, Italians, and the British all confirmed there was a blue 1985 Thunderbird in their town.

Florida 500

The **Florida 500** is a 500-mile-long Piston Cup Racing Series race held annually at Florida International Super Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is the first of two Cup races held every year at Florida, the second being the Nitroade 400, and one of three held in Florida, with the annual fall showdown Sputter Stop 350 being held at Tailgator next to Florida. The inaugural Florida 500 was held in 1959 coinciding with the opening of the speedway and since 1982, it has been the season-opening race of the Cup series.

The Florida 500 is regarded as the most important and prestigious race on the Piston Cup calendar, carrying by far the largest purse. Championship points awarded are equal to that of any other Piston Cup Racing Series race. It is also the series' first race of the year; this phenomenon is unique in sports, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start. From 1995-2020, U.S. television ratings for the Florida 500 have been the highest for any auto race of the year, surpassing the traditional leader, the Indianapolis 500 which in turn greatly surpasses the Florida 500 in in-track attendance and international viewing; however, in 2021 the Indianapolis 500 surpassed the Florida 500 in TV ratings and viewership. The 2006 Florida 500 attracted the sixth largest average live global TV audience of any sporting event that year with 20 million viewers.

The race serves as the final event of Speedweeks and is also known as "The Great American Race" or the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing". Since its inception the event has been as associated with Presidents Day weekend, taking place on the Sunday before the third Monday in February. On eight occasions, the race has been run on Valentine's Day.

3. *Richie Gunzit (Despite being better than the previous two, Gasprin is a little dissapointed with his mediocre performances, and with some good free agents in the air, Richie could be in the hot seat)*
4. Rich Mixon (Despite getting a win in 2019, he has been a pretty inconsistent racer during his career, we could just blame Tank Coat for not being the best organization in the world, but there's still some chances for him to be fired)
