ARCA Hall of Shame Empty ARCA Hall of Shame

Post by BBoy Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:52 pm

By Alta on the old forums, polished up by me.

So I was looking at the New Jersey ARCA Results when I stumbled upon this in the results.

35 31 0 Wayne Peterson Wayne Peterson Racing (Wayne Peterson) Chevrolet Lap 1 Brakes

He completed 1 lap and lost the brakes....That's quite odd.

So I looked more into his career stats and what I found is laughable. Apparently he has an equal number of started races and races he has DNQ'd in with 39 each, but it gets even more laughable.

2001: 2 starts, 1 DNQ, 9 of 196 laps completed, Both retirements due to brake failures within the first 5 laps....

2002: DNQ'D his only attempt.

2003: 3 starts, 1 DNQ, 7 of 317 laps completed, Fell out of Kansas and DuQuoin with a clutch issue within first 5 laps, and fell out of Pocono on Lap 2 due to handling fail.

2004: 6 starts, 1 DNQ, 277 of 709 laps completed (OMG HAX), Clutch failure at Kentucky on Lap 4, Actually Finished Kansas.....6 Laps Down, Clutch failure at Pocono on Lap 2, Rear End Failure at South Boston on Lap 106 (Hey he got half way there Very Happy), Handling issue on lap 3 at Gateway, Finished DuQuoin 4 laps down, 4 DNF'S out of 6 races.

2005: 3 starts, 6 DNQ's, 1 of 334 laps completed, Vibration at Pocono on Lap 1, Handling issue at Kansas, Overheating issue at Gateway (Overheat in the pits/pace laps???)

2006: 1 start, 8 DNQ's, 0 of 100 laps completed, Need i say more?

2007: 3 starts, 8 DNQ's, 4 of 550 laps completed, Rear End failures at both Iowa and Springfield on lap 2 and a clutch fail at Milwaukee.

2008: 7 starts, 10 DNQ's, 5 of 1186 laps completed (attempted all but 4 races, at least he's trying!), handling issue at Rockingham, Clutch failure at Kentucky, handling issue at both Pocono and Cayuga on the first lap, transmission failure at Berlin, Handling issue on the first lap of Nashville, engine fail on lap 2 at DuQuoin.

2009: 8 starts, 3 DNQ's, 6 of 1312 laps completed, brake failure at Talladega on lap 1 (YOU DON'T USE BRAKES AT DEGA!!!), 2 more on the first lap at Mansfield and Iowa, First lap handling issue at Kentucky, crashed at Berlin (On lap 0?), Handling issue at Springfield on the first lap, clutch fail at Toledo on the first lap, Didn't even start the DuQuion race, clutch fail at Kansas

2010: 2010 is his year =], 7 starts, 29 of 1737 laps completed, brake fail on lap 6 at Palm Beach, Another brake fail at Salem on lap 17, engine fail on lap 4 at Talladega (From what I heard this was legit, but I didn't catch most of this race so not really sure.), overheating issue on lap 1 at Toledo, didn't take the green at either Iowa or Berlin, handling issue at Mansfield, brake issue at New Jersey, didn't start Springfield, brake issue at Chicago on lap zeroooo, and didn't start DuQuion or Salem.

2011: Championship year for Peterson this year, 7 starts, 153 of 1067 laps completed, Managed to get 69 laps completed in at Talladega before succumbing to clutch problems, 70 laps completed at Salem before handling issues sidelined him for the rest of the race, but...OH NO....his past hurdles have returned....Handling issue on lap 4 of New Jersey, brake failure at Michigan on the 1st lap, transmission gives out on lap 2 of Winchester, clutch failure on the 1st lap of Berlin and a handling issue forced him to retire on lap 6 at Iowa.

I understand that some teams fail to make ends meet and this guy is actually in his 70's, but why start-n-park in ARCA when you can pretty much get a somewhat decent finish if you run the whole race, and the fact that he's done this for almost 10 years pretty much seals why I believe this guy is one of the biggest fail drivers in ARCA history.

That #09 West Series car raced at Thunderhill in 2009 when I was there. Thats actually not a terrible team.


I would say to look up that #94 of Con Nicolopolous. He's been parking Brad Smith's 2010 Daytona car for the last few ARCA races.

The #25 has the #35 on its roof, and the headlights on the #32 are for like a Chevrolet or something like that.

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that the 32 is a Venturini Motorsports entry, and they run a mix of Chevys and Toyotas, so I understand that one.

As for the 25/35 Laughing
By the way, anyone else notice how on the 0 car, they still have stains from the 6 that they removed?

I think the #32 is for Win-Tron Motorsports, but the picture could be from a couple of years ago, so I can see that.

I am working on a big long post on the struggling ARCA teams of the last 10 years. It'll have plenty of Petersens and Bennings.

I know these guys don't have a lot money, but using duct tape to cover up or make a new number is hilarious!

Con Nicolopolous' car is really bad.

Some of James Hylton's car aren't that bad and the #26 Appliance Zone car isn't that bad either.

^ That.

Good find TRBfan, although to be fair, some of those pictures (most of the Basham cars) aren't Hall of Shame worthy, they're just small teams with normal ARCA cars. It's the cars with taped-over numbers, horrendous paintjobs, or pre-race crash damage.

Sure that's the same car? Because it looks like several top ARCA teams must have given him their entry for the race...

Brad Smith's 2007 and 2008 car literally looks like something that would've been directly painted in NR2003. The numbers on that car scream for an outline.

Con Nicolopoulos' car wouldn't look bad if the original numbers weren't duct-taped over and then taped a new number on. By the way, I think you may have misspelled Nicolopolous, as if it weren't hard enough to. Laughing

The x might be silent, in which case, it might be pronounced like "fuh" or "foo". It's funny either way. Smile

Please keep posting more fail cars. I find them quite amusing.

I'm sorta glad some of these horrible cars are start and parks, or else we would have to watch them the whole race.

The 32 Car has Chevy Headlights on a Toyota body, hence it is fail.

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that the 32 is a Venturini Motorsports entry, and they run a mix of Chevys and Toyotas, so I understand that one.

The 32 is from Win-Tron Racing. They seem to usually alter between Dodges and Toyotas so its odd that they somehow got Chevy headlights on a Toyota.

And yes, Venturini Motorsports does tend to alter between Chevys and Toyotas, but even they remember which is which Laughing

All right I got a very strange new member to the Hall of Shame. The driver's name is Ryan Unzicker. Now he's really a very good driver but that's not why he's in. See, in 2003, when Unzicker was 22, he ran three ARCA races late in the year. He completed all but nine laps in those three races, had a best finish of 6th, and a worst finish of 17th. However, he hasn't run another race since then. Then all of the sudden he's on this week's ARCA race entry list in, get this, a Venturini Motorsports car. Not sure where the fail is in this, but something just doesn't seem right.

Thats because this is a dirt race and he's going to be in the Venturini car that usually start and parks. The car only runs the entire race if its a special race or something.

Another Peterson fail driver to report. Driver's name is Mike Senica. Ran three races for Peterson last year with two laps complete and finishes of 30th, 31st, and 33rd. The amazing thing is he always seemed to be able to beat two cars in the field. The sad thing is his hometown is less than a half an hour from where I live. He's driving a #04 for Roger Carter this weekend though.

Pardon the minor bump, but I just wanted to say I looked through Con Nicolopoulos' statistics on Racing Reference, and I saw that every race he's ever started in ARCA, he didn't finish due to one transmission failure, one engine failure, one brake failure, and five handling failures.

Where is the facepalm smiley when you need it?

IIRC the ARCA provisional System promotes massive ride buyin g so teams will enter an extra Start and Park in hopes that another team will buy there owners points.

Surely having some sense of tact can't be expensive with race damage like that (well except the 26).

I have a friend of mine that goes to school with me who's a front tire changer for Andy Hillenburg Motorsports. He told me once that they had one Chevy body with a Ford front bumper and a Dodge motor (that was used by BILL ELLIOT while racing for Evernham Motorsports)!!!! Also, another friend of mine that's a jackman for that team (I believe) said that the ARCA officials ask the poor teams if they're even going to run the whole event or not and they just let the teams slide by. No wonder so many of these cars look like crap.
