@CameronBebeau This has been something I’ve been waiting on since 2007 haha

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

Alright, so interesting development… the X handle @tobychristie was finally relinquished, apparently, so starting today, the _ is no more for me! Let’s go.

@MishaWines97 @SCUncensored I’m convinced some people don’t actually want to sell their cards, but have promised to actually try to do so to their wives or something so they place an insane price on them knowing damn well nobody is paying that for the thing.

@ctown_16 I just disliked seeing that underscore. Nothing wrong with it at all, it’s totally just a me preference thing.

@astro_kianna There was a British fella named Toby Christie who had done the same thing for years. I never indicated to him I cared. But secretly, I’d check every so often to see if he was still around. Finally, today, I noticed he was gone. So, I pounced. Haha.

Six figures is nuts.

@_TaylorKitchen_ We like when major dubs happen around here these days.

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

@DaleJr @Cloudy341Blade I’m confused. How did they figure that you’ve indicated you want Chicagoland Speedway gone? I’ve never gotten that impression.

@Winstoncupwolf @BubbaWallace @UpperDeckSports @23XIRacing Are we being serious, here? The question was asked because Space Jam, which is on his car this weekend, is a BASKETBALL movie!

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

Thursday at Chicago’s Navy Pier, @BubbaWallace spoke to me about his team’s partnership with @UpperDeckSports, which allowed him to carry a special Space Jam paint scheme this weekend.

The @23XIRacing driver also talked about returning to Chicagoland Speedway and what he expects there, and for the first time in his career being bummed that road course racing is over for the season, as he feels like he has really found his groove this year.

Also, would he incorporate a basketball into a possible win celebration this weekend because SVG has been kicking the hell out of some Rugby balls in his celebrations…

@GarageGuyChase Gonna have to do it via eBay, they were available only for the attendees to Thursday’s Space Jam 30th anniversary screening at Navy Pier.

23XI Racing teammates Riley Herbst and Bubba Wallace led the way in single-lap speed in Friday’s #NASCAR Cup Series practice at Chicagoland Speedway. Kyle Larson was third-fastest.

Connor Zilisch will start on pole for tomorrow’s #NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series event at Chicagoland Speedway due to today’s weather affecting the weekend schedule. Full starting lineup for the O’Reilly race:

@ZachMaughan @UpperDeckSports It was quite incredible to see it all play out. A well-done event for all parties involved.

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

One of the really cool touches that @UpperDeckSports had last night at the Space Jam event at Chicago’s Navy Pier was a custom trading card booth, where they took your photo, and embedded it into a special 30th anniversary Space Jam Upper Deck trading card. #NASCAR

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

On Thursday night at Chicago’s Navy Pier, @UpperDeckSports along with @23XIRacing and driver @BubbaWallace turned the clocks back to 1996 with a special screening of Space Jam in celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary.

The event was filled with interactive activities for fans, and was a smashing hit leading into this weekend’s #NASCAR Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway.

As a person who used to work in tents and events, fans aren’t the answer. There are large, but portable AC units built and designed to be set at the rear of large tented structures, and have vents that blow from outside of the tent into the tent.

That is THE solution, as it provides the most heat relief, and it cuts down on the wild unpredictability of fans blowing around merch, so long as the tent is completely shutoff with sidewalls and has doors installed for entry and exit.

If it’s a total open tent with no sidewalls, absolutely, fans are the way to go.

@Tom_Engels_Desk From photos I’ve seen of it, and seeing this in person, I believe it to have been a larger crowd here at Space Jam for sure.

Everybody get up, it’s time to slam now

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

@robelliott6 @RacingAmerica No sir. Stay tuned!

[Toby Christie @TobyChristie]

It's a sad day today, as this marks my final day with @RacingAmerica. Over the last few years, I have forged some true friendships and relationships that will remain regardless.

I am proud of the work I did in my time at RA, and am excited to see what my former teammates accomplish going forward.

What's next for me?

We'll see.
