BL’s Offline Real World Replica Rosters
2022 NASCAR Cup Series – Next Gen
For the 2022 season I decided to first create a full season roster that can be used for championships, and am now working on some race specific rosters which I will continue to add as I complete them.
Again spent some time adding driver names to the window banners of every single car in the correct font and as close to correct sizing and placement as I could to add to the immersion.
Made sure all cars have correct pit box colors and no blank pit boards.

The steering wheel, along with other great wood working projects can be found on his Youtube channel, Cammie’s Garage.
