Ever since their Twitter account started, one group of people was out there to help them. A Twitter account under the name @TheNascarFans (with the help of their followers) goes through many companies that can be potential sponsors. Inception Motorsports is one that they give potential sponsors the most focus to.

As a thank you to their loyal fans, David Stremme and Inception Motorsports decided to put TheNascarFans Twitter handle on the rear bumper of the #30 Inception Motorsports Toyota this weekend at Auto Club Speedway.

"New Nickname" to Appear on Mark Martin's Car at Fontana

It all started a few months ago when his team owner, Michael Waltrip, started the account. Mark Martin was greeted by all of his fans on Twitter. Answering several of his fans questions, recounting moments they had with the fellow driver, and many more. Martin is one of the active NASCAR driver that tweets a handful times a day.

Late Saturday morning (or on March 17th), it was discovered that Mark Martin's Twitter account has been hacked. They changed the account name, Twitter handle, and profile picture (including protecting tweets for the account). All day MWR worked hard on getting the account back to normal. Later that evening, Mark Martin was back on Twitter.

The hacker changed the name/handle to EPICSWAG, so as a little payback, Mark Martin decided to have a little fun with that name. Instead of have "Mark Martin" above the door, the #55 Aaron's Toyota will have "Epic Swag" above the door.

Mark Martin's Twitter account is @55MarkMartin

Rumored Upcoming Plans for Teams

Hamilton-Means Racing (Cup):

     Hamilton-Means has pushed back their Cup debut once again. This time they will plan to attempt the Goody's Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville in the #52 Crusader Staffing Toyota. Team originally was going to attempt the Daytona 500, but was put on hold because of a delay in obtaining some essential equipment. The plan then was for the Subway Fresh Fit 500(k) at Phoenix or the Food City 500 at Bristol. And just last week, it was announced they will attempt the Martinsville race. Johnny Sauter was said to drive to the 52 car, but decided not to agree to deal. Sauter's only plans for that race weekend is to drive the #13 in the Camping World Truck Series. Driver for the 52 at Martinsville was Scott Speed, after that the driver(s) is TBD at this point.


GoGreen Racing (Cup):

     Another new Cup team that has pushed their first Cup attempt is the GoGreen Racing. Tim Andrews is still said to drive the car, but the team unknowingly pushed their Sprint Cup debut back. It was suppose to be at Martinsville, but they didn't show up for the event. As of now it is unknown when and if they will attempt a race in the Cup Series. Tim Andrews is also said to be the driver of the #37 GoGreen Racing Ford in the Nationwide Series (first race for the 37 team, however, has yet to be announced).


TurnOne Racing (Cup):

     Reed Sorenson drove the #74 TurnOne Racing Chevy at the Food City 500 at Bristol. Stacy Compton was on the initial entry list for this event, but Reed Sorenson picked up the 74 ride later in the week. Team decided to start-and-park the event to avoid risking damaging their car. Sorenson appears to be the full-time driver for TurnOne. Another driver that might drive for a race or two is J.R. Fitzpatrick, who drives for the team in the Camping World Truck Series, but only time will tell for him.


Rick Ware Racing (NNS):

     I asked Rick Ware Racing if there if their 15 Nationwide team will be running any more races for the 2012 Nationwide Season. They told me that is the plan for them. The 15 team attempted the Royal Purple 300 with Scott Riggs. Because of lack of sponsorship on the car, it was a start-and-park deal with Riggs.
