April Fools

Josh Williams "Parks It" at Spring Atlanta. The flowing-locked driver took on a wildly-popular rebel stand after NASCAR black flagged him on lap . His spotter and crew chief reportedly said they're calling us in? Williams was shocked, "they what? "They are telling us to park it." Williams wasn't sure how to take this call and proceeded to "park it" across the checkered line. He then walked through the infield waving the peace sign and was held in the bad-boy hauler for the remainder of the race. 

NASCAR issued a one-race suspension.

The "stick-it-to the big guy" stunt was embraced as Williams garnered new following. In a poetic move of justice, Papa John's sponsored him to "deliver" pizza to NASCAR officials at their hauler when he returned.

The next meme-worthy season highlight kept Gragson in the headlines when he walked pit road aggressively towards Chastain post-Kansas and sunseeker looking for action proceeded to chew out the #1 driver. The surprising reaction? Farmer boy clocked his melon with a sucker punch and that sound byte just got real. Officials restrained him before he could retaliate to the blow.
