Applejack pulled her car into Victory Lane to the roar of applause from the people gathered there. She undid her restraints and, instead of climbing out onto the ground, she climbed up on top of the car. Hoofs raised in the air in victory, Applejack was suddenly showered in cider and confetti.
Jeff walked over and helped Applejack down, he was also the first one give her a big hug
"That was some of the best dang driving I've ever seen" said Jeff, tears of joy coming down his face
"Awww shucks thank ye kindly Jeff" Applejack said as she returned the hug
When Applejack finally realesed from Jeff's hug, she was bombarded by literally everyone else. Flash bulbs going off, interviews taking place, and finally she was handed the trophie for winning the Tryout Showdow.
Applejack finally made it home a good 2 hours after the race, due to the fact that every pony in Ponyville wanted her autograph. When Applejack walked into the kitchen of her family homestead she was met by Jeff, Dale Jr, Kasey, Jimmie and Rick Hendrick. They all had big smiles on
"Take a seat Applejack" said Rick, indicating to the chair directly across from the legendary team owner
Applejack sat down and noticed a document sitting on the table in front of Rick
"Applejack, I want to offer you a contract to drive the #25 Chevrolet SS for Hendrick Motor Spo-"
"DEAL!!! Where do a'he sign?" Said a very enthusiastic Applejack
Rick slid the paper over to Applejack and handed her a pen
"Right on the dotted line"
Applejack took the pen in her mouth and signed her signature along the bottom of the page. She was officially a NASCAR driver. As she was heading off to bed, she caught something out of the corner of her eye. When she turned to look it was Dale Sr, or his spirit. He smiled and gave Applejack a thumbs up, then he was gone.
The next morning, Applejack awoke to a very loud yet very familiar sound of a race car engine. She quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed her Stetson. She quickly ran over to her bedroom window and looked out to see a deep blue Chevrolet SS with the #25 along the sides and roof. It said "Pepsi" along the sides and on the hood
Before she knew it, Applejack was outside faster then Pinkie Pie on a sugar rush (and that's saying a lot)
The new car shined in the earily morning sun and Jeff was leaning against the car
"Here you go Applejack, your own race car"
Applejack was speechless until she was able to muster
"Thank you so much Jeff"
"Your welcome.mnow we need to get rolling. We need to be in Daytona Beach by day after tomorrow for speed weeks. I've got some tickets here for your family and friends"
Applejack took the tickets and, with a hoof written note, set them on the kitchen table.
When Applejack returned outside after gathering some of her belongings, she was amazed to see a BIG motor coach and 18 wheeler siting outside. The semi truck was the same color scheme as her car and it had a picture of her painted on the sides of the trailer with her name as well
"How do you like your RV?" said a man who Applejack did not know
"Oh sorry where are my manners. My names Steve LeTarte and I'm your new crew chief" said Steve
"Howdy there sugarcube, nice to met ya"
"Well we better get rolling"
With that Applejack climbed into her RV. It was very big on the inside and looked like the inside of Jeff's RV.
They started rolling and were quickly through the portal into the human world.
NASCAR isn't the same without you Dale SR. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Race In Peace
Dale Sr. 3
1951-2001
Rest in peace Dale. Rest in peace Steve. But what will happen to Chase Elliot this season? Also can't you not have five cars full time for the same team in NASCAR? It is a bad rule so I am glad it isn't going to be a factor. Keep up the good work!
Also Flamefly better make Luna proud. Will Josh Wise have Dogecoin all year in this universe?
5924226 with this being an alternate universe the rules of NASCAR are what I want them to be. I'm still thinking of what to do with Chase
5924592 How about you have him race for a small team. Or 6th Hedrick car.
5924740 I was thinking maybe he race for the Wood Brothers, who are returning to running the 21 car full time in my story
5925022 But Ryan Blaney drives it. Maybe he could drive the 8 for Phil Parsons racing so they could drive 2 full time race cars?
I've been meaning to ask you, will Daytona (and the races after) be 1 chapter or multi chaptered?
5925051 with Daytona being, well, Daytona it's going to be at least 2-3 chapters. It's going to depend on the track the race is. Remember this is my NASCAR world so who's Ryan Blaney? Haha The Wood Brothers will be expanding to a 2nd car and that's the one that Blaney will be driving
5925137 Ryan Blaney (somehow) drove for Penske other wise I wouldn't know him. What # will Blaney drive? Also will Chase drive for Rick Hedrick after Jeff Leaves (If this universe is for more than 1 season)?
5925153 ever noticed how there isn't a #28 car in the Sprint Cup. And to answer your question about Chase that's on the back burner for the time being
5925179 okay, till next chapter.
5925179 there was a #28 car that was Ricky Rudd's car
This is the best I have Read I love it
