They make it 'cause we buy it: Racing Decal Distance posters

No sport offers up a more bewildering array of souvenir crap memorabilia than NASCAR, and They Make It digs deep into the corners of the Internet to bring all that strangeness to light. Today: locating your place in the NASCAR universe.

The item: The Racing Distance Decal Poster, $32.50 from Hometown Racing.

The deal: Okay, this one's pretty cool. You hit up the folks at Hometown Racing, and they'll create a custom-made poster from your hometown or current location to 65 different sites with some NASCAR significance. For instance, Dave Blaney's poster includes the distance from the start-finish line to the garage, and Michael Waltrip's includes the distance from wall to wall. I'd run one from, say, Tokyo and see what you come up with.

The hat tip: The poster's creator tipped us off to this goodness! (In accordance with new FTC regulations, I can say that he did not send me anything in exchange for this review. Though I'm always up for swag. I'm easy that way.) If you've got some NASCARiana for us to check out, hit us up at jay.busbee@yahoo.com.
