The Bristol 1000 challenges participants to survive 100 laps around the tough BMS half-mile oval - The World's Fastest Half-Mile. When it comes to the Panther Platform it's hard not to think of Rob Howard (@hoonmerc_racing) when it comes to drifting, burnouts, and racing. It's been said by many members of the Panther Platform community that the "HoonMerc" build should be incorporated and included in the Cleetus McFarland's race next September, 2023 for his stellar performances behind his Mercury Grand Marquis build.

 Rob has won many different awards at different Panther Platform events in 2022. Here's just a few of his major wins this past year :

- Burnout Champion at Ford Nationals at Carlisle
- The fastest Panther at MrRandomReviews' "Tail Of The Dragon" event
- Best In Show at MrRandomReviews "PantherFest" as well as the Champion for the Exhaust System Competition at the same event

The Bristol 1000 will comprise thirty celebrity drivers racing nitrous-powered Ford Crown Victorias around the famed Bristol Motor Speedway high-banked oval. Taking place on Labor Day Weekend on Saturday & Sunday in September - Bristol Motor Speedway is being overrun by McFarland and his network of YouTuber friends.

This would be an amazing opportunity for @hoonmerc_racing and the entire Panther Platform community!

Vote for Rob, repost the petition, tag both Cleetus and Rob on Instagram and let's get him on the track at Bristol next year!
