Guess who FINALLY made it out to a Summer Shootout night?

Michael Henson@mhenson144· 24d

I hate that I’m immediately reminded of this:

The Guardians of the Galaxy stand around in their ship. Rocket Raccoon addresses the group, saying they are a “bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.”

This place is absolutely gorgeous at sunset. #NASCAR #WindowWorld450

A panoramic view from my seat during the NASCAR race at North Wilkesboro. There’s an orange and purple sunset to the left of frame while the right side is a slowly darkening blue.

There’s no big video screen for replays here at the track, but many thanks to the #24 pit box for having this teeny-tiny one I can zoom in on. 🤣 #NASCAR #WindowWorld450

I usually keep where I work pretty close to the chest for many reasons, but this is too special not to share. Since I was 8 years old, I’ve wanted to be out there racing with my heroes. My name might not be the one over the driver’s window, but I’d like to think I still made little me proud.

A photo of the right rear quarter panel of the #2 Freightliner Ford Mustang racing at North Wilkesboro tonight, taken at the Team Penske shop during the livery unveiling.

A close up of the right rear quarter panel, showing the Team members’ names incorporated into the paint scheme. I’m in the red stripe in the middle of the frame.

A picture of me, with my trademark crooked smile, kneeling down in front of the quarter panel and pointing to my name.

A picture of the pit wall banner for this weekend, which all of the team members got to sign. My signature is just to the left of the #2 near the right side of the banner.

Star Trek Online! (Honorable mention: NASCAR Thunder 2004. Pretty sure 20 seasons of 25% distance races was at least 1100 hours…)

A screenshot from Star Trek Online of my pride and joy, the Excelsior-class Federation Starship USS Nashville, NCC-2144. She features a combination of the original Excelsior’s saucer and hull, with the refit warp nacelles seen on the Enterprise-B (in my headcanon, the Nashville was built between the original Excelsior and Enterprise-B, featuring component designs from both ships). Her hull is a dark silver metallic color, meant to look weathered with years of service and inspired by the reboot version of the Battlestar Galactica. The ship also features patches of dark blue and faded yellow paint, in a variation on the original Excelsior livery.

Trust me, for every beautifully timed 20X zoom shot, I have about 10 hilarious misfires 😅 #NASCAR #NCTS

A photo of Shane van Gisbergen, looking through the right side window of his truck as it rushes down the front straightaway at North Wilkesboro. The photo was taken at full speed, and is a hell of a lucky shot because I’m not actually that good lol.

HOLD UP, we get bonus SVG this weekend? #NASCAR #NCTS

A scene from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. General Hux lies sprawled on the floor after revealing himself to be a double agent for the Resistance. The meme is captioned “I don’t care if Belgium wins, I just need 47 to lose!”

Quailman and Muscular Beaver WHOOSH!

Doug Funnie from the animated show “Doug” poses as his alter ego, the superhero Quailman. He is joined by his loyal dog and sidekick Porkchop.

Daggett Beaver from the Nicktoon “The Angry Beavers” stands atop a wooden crate, hands outstretched dramatically, while dressed as his superhero alter ego Muscular Beaver.

Ha! Tremble before my mighty trinity of Lucario, Shiny Gyrados, and Rayquaza! 😎 #PokemonGo

A screenshot from Pokemon Go. Giovanni, leader of Team Go Rocket, expresses dismay after I defeated him in battle. He states “This defeat is meaningless. Team Go Rocket will never fall!” Clearly he’s a bit delulu since I just took his Reshiram and his lunch money.

Saw the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra last night as they performed the complete score of Black Panther! In a surprise to absolutely no one, I didn’t cry as much as I thought I would (I cried more. MUCH more. 🥲)

My POV of the Belk Theater stage in Charlotte as the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra sets up to play. There is a large projector screen hanging above where the movie is shown as the orchestra plays along.
