NAPARL-top50-thankyou.png

It's a bit overdue, because I was out of the design commission for a few days with a finger injury, but I'd finally like to extend a big THANK YOU for all the support throughout the NAPARL Top 50 Drivers carset. This was definitely the most work I've ever put into a set, and I love the enthusiasm around the final product!

As usual after projects, I'll be taking a bit of a break before the next set, however I do have things going on currently with the Neon For Autism 2023 fundraiser I'm involved in. I'll also probably experiment with a few one off posts. As for my next project, I will hint at it since it will be a smaller scale project, that will be more of a mini-set than a whole new thing, as I decide where to go next. This mini project will deal with the only thing mentioned in this universe that hasn't been accounted for yet. Stay tuned!

It's almost summer, the heat of racing season, and I'm back to work behind the scenes! Here's a look at what's ahead for my NR2003 projects. A pair of mini sets are in the works, the first of which is a bit experimental, with more to come! Stay tuned.

This week and next, I’ll be posting nearly daily to show off the first of two mini projects I’m doing, though this one takes place outside the JRD fictional universe. Introducing ‘Small Teams, Big Dreams!’ This eight car set features a handful of smaller NASCAR Truck and ARCA teams imagined on current cup cars, to highlight some up and coming drivers who may be under the radar. While I’m far from the first person to bring feeder series cars to the NASCAR Cup Series, I aim to do things a little differently and bring some new drivers to the fray, while putting my own, more detailed twist to many of their schemes.

The eight car numbers are shown off in the preview. Some drivers have their real numbers, while others have a new number made from their own or the team’s other numbers. Can you figure out who’s in the set before they’re all posted?

Small Teams, Big Dreams Concept 4: Landen Lewis
Landen has had some very impressive runs with smaller ARCA teams and legend cars before even turning 18. What if his group with McGowan went straight to the Cup Series?

Small Teams Big Dreams Concept 5: Colby Howard
Colby has had a consistent start to his career and nearly notched a Daytona upset. His team and sponsor translate well to a Cup car, wouldn't it be awesome to see them there one day?

Small Teams, Big Dreams Concept 6: Luke Fenhaus
Luke has become a household prospect ever since he was invited to the SRX, and has had a hot ARCA East start this year with Pinacle Racing Group. Could he be the next big Chevy driver?

Small Teams, Big Dreams Concept 7: Kris Wright
Kris has had some steady improvement with Young's Motorsports this year. The FNB paint scheme would look sick on a cup car with a few tweaks!

Small Teams, Big Dreams Concept 8: Andres Perez de Lara
Andres is a driver who entered the scene quietly, but is quickly showing the potential to be the next up and comer from Rev Racing. What if he can stay there all the way up the ladder?


And that completes the eight cars for the Small Teams, Big Dreams set! I apologize for the lack of Stunod updates consistently. Be on the look out for the carset download tomorrow!

Saturday, be the first to see the concept for the next Jet's Racing Designs universe series. This new series adds a new idea to the universe and answers the meta question: WHO SAYS WE CAN'T?

See you on the 10th. Keep an eye out for another teaser or two.

Charles Barwick (born December 11, 1951 in Queens, New York) is an American billionaire businessman and entrepreneur. While his career started with the ownership of a variety of upstart and franchised businesses, he’s most known for his ownership of professional sports teams. As the owner and CEO of ANY Sports, a firm that wholly owns major football and ice hockey franchises, as well as minority stakes in a wide variety of other sports teams and leagues.

any-sports-group.png

One of the most unique properties owned and operated by Barwick and ANY Sports is the AMERICAN DIRT LEAGUE, a dirt oval racing league which began in 1996, shortly after he broke into the world of professional sports ownership. While Barwick‘s interest in motorsports was limited for much of his career, the idea to create marquee dirt racing events was born from the amount of tracks he saw across upstate New York. This led to him sponsoring an invitational race at the Meadowlands horse track in 1993, a de facto ‘state championship’ for dirt racing in New York. After the unprecedented success of the event, Barwick saw potential to bridge the gap between local dirt tracks and a national fanbase. In 1994 and 1995, Barwick organized and promoted a variety of one off dirt invitationals with big prize purses at tracks closer to city centers, and even hosted a pair of events in football stadiums during the summer, the predecessor to today’s Stadium Shootout events. With the success of these events, the American Dirt League was founded to create a national championship for the type of product Barwick had created. The league features a variety of events across both the inspirational large dirt tracks around the country, and a pair of major stadiums across the country each year.

Today, the AMERICAN DIRT LEAGUE is the most prominent series for dirt oval racing in the country. The series found stable ground early thanks to Barwick‘s wide network allowing him and his series' drivers to gain a variety of sponsors and investors that they wouldn’t have otherwise. The series continued to grow into one of the most distinct championships in the world thanks to Barwick‘s desire to be an innovator in both the sporting product and the business, most notably growing quicker throughout the 2000s by being ahead of the curve with using the internet as a marketing and engagement tool.

Charles Barwick has remained the owner and head of the series from its inception, and shows no sign of slowing down soon despite being in his 70s. He gained notoriety across the world of sports for being vocal, engaged, and energetic with both staff and fans, and for being publicly blunt about his goals to grow his properties. Even today, he still attends the majority of AMERICAN DIRT LEAGUE events when schedules don’t conflict with another ANY Sports property, and engages with fans and drivers like anyone else.

The series features a unique process for building the cars that race each week. Car bodies and chassis are built to specifications, however engines and powertrains have few specifications beyond a horsepower regulation, and require gas engines. This is intended to provide a sense of fairness and uniformity to be approachable to team owners, while at the same time giving each car a unique personality for drivers and fans.

Today, the series hosts roughly 30 races each season across the country, with its marquee events being the three doubleheader weekends. These consist of the two stadium shootout events, hosted once in the spring and once in the summer at two different major stadiums each year, and the American Dirt League finals, hosted at a major permanent dirt track that also rotates by year. The series uses a playoff style system to decide the season champion in its final few events, leading to the championship being decided in the final doubleheader. Additionally, you’re currently looking at the setup for the 2024 Paint Scheme Showcase as part of the American Dirt League’s offseason fan festival. It’s a tradition for teams to reveal their primary paint schemes for the upcoming year at this event, which also rotates to bring the series to new cities. In 2024, the fan festival is being hosted in Austin, Texas. As for the rotating race events, the stadium shootouts will be held in Tampa, Florida and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2024, with the championship race being held this year on the dirt surface at Bristol Motor Speedway.


Much like the original NAPARL series sets, this showroom will become the home to showing off all 36 unique cars for the American Dirt League, complete with driver and team info. I also plan to experiment with a few other details beyond the cars and boxes every handful of cars, such as showcasing more things for the ADL brand, summer shootouts, and more lore details. I’m out to make this the single most detailed fictional NR2003 set publicly.

This carset will be for the NPS17 mod, and feature a few new templates being created by me, the original versions of which will be released by me publicly shortly after the first car or two for them are shown off.

I’m building this carset around the concept of “Who Says We Can’t” because of my desire to explore how the tradition of motorsports can be combined with bold, new ideas, and the great things that can come from either. I’m by no means intending this to be seen as my ideal racing league, but I would like to explore that aspect thematically by going back to my own roots in design with more lore and unique twists. First cars will be coming in the next few days, as I get everything ready to optimize!

WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN DIRT LEAGUE!

There’s no better place to start in the American Dirt League than the defending champion, St. Louis’s Sean Weaver. The 31 year old claimed his second championship for the powerhouse known as Dale Amy Racing, a five car Ford operation. When he first came into the ADL, he was expected to be a bit of a second fiddle to DAR’s other top prospect, but instead they’ve been a pair leading the team for years, and hoping for more at the peak of their careers. Weaver’s black Verizon machine is fitting of his style, trying to remain out of sight from other racers by building a huge lead or by making passes when they’re least expected.

Have a look around in this quick animatic! I'm planning to do these for every car in the set as they're revealed.
