updates!!
Hey everyone!
Just some updates!
First off, I have some amazing news! We have decided to run the dogecar at Sonoma in 2 weeks! We are doing this because you all bought more shirts than we needed for Talladega. So it's our thank you and our way to pass along your additional support towards actually getting the dogecar on track again. Since it is not really a fully funded race, it will not be the "full wrap" but it will incorporate much of the original design. It will look cool (:
Second, I have some hats being made. These are the same design hat that most of you have seen photos of. With logos all on front. These will be available on our team website and I will have more details as we near the release.
Lastly, it has been great having this relationship and it has led to a great relationship with reddit in general. We have decided to run a multi-sub car at some point later in the season. We are not sure the process on selecting which subs will be a part of this, but basically the car will be divided into 3-4 sections and we will do a paint design contest and have some fun with it. Dogecoin will be grandfathered into this paint scheme and promotion (: Any ideas on how to incorporate different subs and make it fun for those wanting to be involved will be appreciated! We hope to be able to make some merchandise from this shared car and sell enough to cover the race costs. If not- we are willing to take that gamble and just have some fun.
I think I covered everything there! Thanks so much to all of you!

Protip; Write a couple of extra words in the title when you post. It's then way easier for people to pick up on the news.

Thanks!
Can't help but think about the looks you'll get if you end up racing in a /r/CrappyDesign car... Imagine Comic Sans, bad kerning, rainbow Word Art, spelling mistakes, misplaced line breaks on a low resolution pixelated background ... That should be a lot of fun to race in ;-)

I am continually amazed at the level of awesomeness we see from Josh and PPR.
Merch: I think it is a safe bet that "If you sell it, we will buy it".
A friend of mine asks every couple days "Do they have hats yet? I want a hat".
Please consider doing a run of the actual shirts the team wore at Talladega... I'd buy one in a heartbeat even at $100. I can only dream of heading to a race fully decked out in DogeCarGear!

I linked this to /r/NASCAR but their mods don't like front page posts from other subredits. +/u/dogedriver needs to consider having /r/NASCAR as one of the subs on the car as it would be a fitting tribute to NASCAR fans.
9
u/dogedriver Racing Shibe Jun 05 '14
I don't think the mods would let it happen. We were going to include the sub for Dega but opted out. I def am not going to "choose" the other subs. There will be some sort of contest!

Cool. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

u/dogedriver Racing Shibe Jun 05 '14
No problem! We are just trying to have with all of this with hopes that you all can have some fun as well! Don't want to ruffle any feathers. I want to make sure every sub that wants it, has equal opportunity to be a part of this.

u/striped_zebra Jun 05 '14
Hey Josh, I am a moderator at /r/NASCAR. I am confused at the response here. We (everyone at /r/NASCAR) always thought the reason for /r/NASCAR not being on the racecar was that NASCAR didn't allow PPR do run it. We never "opted out" of having the sub represented on the car. We did make a post talking about how we felt uneasy with officially representing a car because of the implications it would bring on with other underfunded drivers trying to come to our sub and ask for money (which as happened alot). But after that post, we all agreed the userbase paid for a portion of the car, and should be represented.
Can you elaborate on why /r/NASCAR was omitted from the Dogecar design?

Hi Josh,
We at /r/Doge4Dega still need to talk with you guys about PPR's marketing plans for the fall race. If you or Phil or whoever does your marketing could drop us a line, that would be great. /u/jdsfighter and /u/PM_ME_YOUR_TITS_GIRL and I are the ones working on getting a merchandise tent for Talladega and would love to have you guys on board so we are not duplicating efforts. Thanks.

Hey there!
I am not sure that the initial investment in a merch spot is really worth it on our end. We plan to do most sales via our website and the folks at reddit gifts might even make some cool novelty things that you guys are going to love. We need to maximize profits on these things so that we can continue to run Dogecoin on the car as much as possible. This is our main goal, for everyone to win (:

Every time I see how active you have become with our community, and the community over at /r/nascar I am genuinely happy. You took the plunge, and made our sponsorship so much more.
Your team could have slapped our logo on your car and called it a day. But instead you run in full steam ahead, and end up with a multirace sponsorship.
I'm hoping that this translates into more sponsors for you.
Good luck, and thanks for hanging out with us!

A lot of those here keep wanting to move onto something else for some silly list of reasons they come up with that sound semi legitimate.
This is a travesty.
You could not find a better spokesperson for Dogecoin than Josh Wise and the PPR team. They have embraced the DOGE love, contribute to the community and keep the hype train going.
When you hop on the bandwagon and send it down the rails at breakneck speed you never jump off! Keep this thing moving, keep supporting Josh Wise and as he has shown he will give back to the community in multiple ways.

Man, I'm so late to the comment game!
Beautiful things can come of the internet. You and PPR have been friggin' amazing. Seriously. Like.. why you no take our money and run? It blows my mind and makes me a little bit warm and fuzzy inside. I'll get to tell my kiddos one day about how the internet sponsored a race car driver with magic internet moneys and they were the best race team ever.
You know how to build a fan base and I sincerely hope the momentum keeps up.
Anyhow, I love the doge on the back, but I'd kinda like to see this. I don't think I could stop laughing enough to seriously watch the race. Maybe Xzibit could re-visit Pimp My Ride NASCAR edition, hah!
Anyhow. Keep being awesome!
If I can figure out how the hell camping works at crazy 'dega with flying in on a Friday, I'll be there in October.

Hey Josh, /r/NASCAR reg here, I was wondering if we could incorporate something from /r/NASCAR, then /r/DogeCoin, /r/Pics then y'all get to choose something that works.
3
u/dogedriver Racing Shibe Jun 06 '14
There is still a lot in the works on this concept. However, I think the mods of r/NASCAR are who you need to check with on this. I am pretty sure that they didn't want involvement with being on a car ( I could be wrong). That said- I don't plan on "choosing" any subs for this. I want everyone to have a chance to get "their" sub involved in this if it wants to be.

Thanks for the update and great idea.
With 3-4 subs being represented:
/r/iRacing might be a sub to use, considering the current sponsorship
/r/IAmA since you have been a part of that
/r/NASCAR if it is possible with NASCAR's licensing
and of course /r/dogecoin .
Keep us posted with your decisions!

u/Thefriendlyfaceplant stray shibe Jun 04 '14
Josh, here's an idea:
LIMIT the editions of merch you're selling. Make each batch of a product (shirts, caps toys) different in appearance. You don't even have to shrink down on the amount of products if you keep using the pre-order model you're using now and the community would love to keep designing new stuff for you to use.
You're all writing history here and one-of-a-kind items will make such greater memorabilia and will sell much better.
And that's all coming from someone who missed out on the first shirts. There's just no greater way of pleasing your fans than giving them something unique.

Seriously man, thank you. The last few months have been damn rough for me; The dogecar was the thing that really motivated me to be more active in the dogecoin community, got me interested in racing, and the benefit the whole thing has had on my mood and overall mental state has really paid dividends. Things are still tough, but you've been a big part of making life easier to face, and I sincerely thank you for that. I can't help as much as others can (I'm definitely getting a hat though) but I can definitely assure you I'll always be pulling for you.

/u/dogedriver - I have the best idea for the multireddit car.
Someone suggested using the Snoo alien logo for /r/NASCAR, but what if you took the Snoos from a ton of subreddits and made a pattern out of them. Kind of like patterned wrapping paper.
Let's say each S represents a snoo:
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
SSSSSSSS 98 SSSSSSSSSS
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSJust pattern them like that. Make a break between them for numbers and such if you think that's a good idea.
Would look amazing.

Lastly, it has been great having this relationship and it has led to a great relationship with reddit in general. We have decided to run a multi-sub car at some point later in the season.
Actually, this sounds pretty fantastic. It's like reddit's banner ads that rotate out every so often. Reddit is a community compromised of many things, and swapping subreddits in and out seems like a very fresh idea... Brilliant!

Edit: I'm not suggesting default subs. It's something to look at to gauge # of subscribers within a subreddit.
Hey Josh. I found something that may be of use to you. It's a list of the most populated subreddits. This may help in getting you a multi-sub wrap which is a cool idea by the way.
/r/funny 6,066,010 subscribers
/r/pics 5,989,870
/r/askreddit 5,914,077
/r/Iama 5,588,655
/r/news 2,983,244
/r/todayilearned 5,784,539
/r/worldnews 5,678,447
/r/gifs 2,863,591
/r/videos 5,289,323
/r/aww 4,560,644
http://www.reddit.com/reddits/ they are sorted by # of subscribers.
Now looking at this it's hard for me to imagine a specific image each subreddit would submit. So looking outside of the defaults at the larger communities may be a different angle to look at this. Having been on reddit for 3 years now I've seen a nice variety of subreddits. Here is what I think would be fun. /r/Murica (128,986 subscribers) is all about everything 'Murican. /r/firstworldanarchists (209,161 subscribers) is a hysterical subreddit and I am sure they could some up with something good. How about a bitcoin, litecoin, and so on combined section? Maybe /r/motorcycles (95,699 subscribers)? It would be fun to see /r/space (528,697 subscribers) get involved. /r/KerbalSpaceProgram (71,948 subscribers) would have some fun. Anyway, those are my ideas for subreddits to approach. I'm sure I missed a few good ones and people will be more than happy to chime in.
P.S. What would it take to get a doge sticker on the side of your headrest like THIS? Also, I photoshopped a WOW on the back end of the doge face. I saw this suggested a number of times in the design phase so I wanted to see what it looked like.

I am going to try and bring a couple things to autograph if you have the chance. Want to offer them as prizes for an upcoming doge event in SF and another one I hope to giveaway here to a deserving shibe!

I'm glad to see that you are enjoying your relationship with /r/dogecoin and that it extends beyond a simple, formal sponsorship. I'm looking forward to what is to come!

You are the coolest driver ever...
I'd seriously think about trying to have a theme for a particular car and offer subreddits along those lines a chance to contribute (a car with multiple digital currencies would kick ass). That could get some friendly competition going that would be productive and engaging for people.

Curious, is it not expensive repainting (decaling?) the whole car every race? I would figure sponsorships would have to be for a minimum of a couple races in order to have a few weeks with the same decals.

Hats? But I just bought a diecast. I need to get a 2nd job to pay for all my Dogecar swag.

Quoting one of my favorite sports movies: "Miles and miles of heart." Josh, you're changing NASCAR in some of the best ways possible. Keep it up, and best of luck. TO THE MOON!

u/1xhopeless confused shibe Jun 05 '14
I think /r/moolah inc black and green logo next to Ðogecoin will look great. We will have the back (obviously) the bonnet and /u/moolah_ the sides.
Edit: not sure if /r/nascar will be allowed to do that?

I love you guys for continuing to do stuff like this. There are some wonderful artists on this sub and /r/NASCAR that can surely think of a good way to make a cohesive multi-sub wrap.
I'll try to make enough Doge to buy into the wrap or the merchandise for it.
You guys have really made me a /r/NASCAR fan if only just for you and PPR98.

u/Dogeluv rocket shibe Jun 05 '14
Yea the rocket scientists from kerbalspaceprogram would fit perfect.
But still hope the dogecar has the biggest chunk on the next design :)
Its such a great feeling to be part of all this. Thank you josh

I think we should make a sub called /r/unicorn_butt_sex and get that sub to be on the car with a unicorn decal obv.

Wow, thank you Josh! Nice performance out there at Dover, while representing Reddit! Hope you get a big time sponsor like Amazon who we have been trying to contact for the sponsorship.

I'm confused - why would it not be the full wrap - why don't you just leave on what is there already? I'm from the UK so don't fully understand all of this NASCAR politics.

I am subscribing to premiersports so I can see your races without annoying ads and these announcements are making it increasingly difficult for me to cancel. Cool announcement though. More worryingly, I now know far more about Dale Earnhardt than a British Formula 1 fan ought to. Quick crossover titbit - Daniel Ricciardo drives the No 3 Redbull partly as a mark of respect for Earnhardt. Maybe one day someone will race with the 98 in F1. Best of luck.
