Video: Remember pickup truck hot tub at Kentucky Speedway<\/p>\n

NASCAR fans from Bullitt County, Ky. create a “hillbilly hot tub” – a mobile pool in the back of a pickup in 2011 at the Kentucky Speedway campgrounds.<\/p>\n

Enquirer file video, Cincinnati Enquirer<\/p>\n

A Cincinnati-branded racecar is at the center of a NASCAR <\/a>Cup Series race.<\/p>\n

Driver William Byron<\/a> will operate the No. 24 Cincinnati Chevrolet<\/a> on Sept. 28 at Kansas Speedway as he vies for a spot in the next round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Why Cincinnati?<\/p>\n

The car actually features the logo for Cincinnati Incorporated<\/a>, a machine tool manufacturer based in Harrison which sponsors Byron and the Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet team.<\/p>\n

Sunday is the first time the design will be on the track, according to Hendrick Motorsports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati Incorporated plans to be a primary sponsor for the same team on Oct. 26 at the Martinsville Speedway. A new paint scheme will be used in this race.<\/p>\n

Byron currently ranks No. 2<\/a> out of the 12 remaining drivers in the playoff standings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Video: Remember pickup truck hot tub at Kentucky Speedway NASCAR fans from Bullitt County, Ky. create a “hillbilly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[9680,2571,5540,49,48,7574,10391,88389,4384,12716,634,2034,44,22846,1333,2042,582,82,865,4811,4382],"class_list":["post-172315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-auto","tag-auto-racing","tag-byron","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-chevrolet","tag-cincinnati","tag-hendrick","tag-hendrick-motorsports","tag-motorsports","tag-nascar","tag-neutral","tag-news","tag-oh","tag-overall","tag-overall-neutral","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-william","tag-william-byron"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
