This Hitman Racing Suit is Either the Most Ridiculous or the Most Brilliant Thing I’ve Seen
We’ve featured Joey Logano, the driver who races the No. 20 GameStop Toyota in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series, several times before. He’s had some awesome car wraps before, hoods dedicated to Bioshock 2 or Red Dead Redemption—things that still look a little strange turning left at 120 mph. Well, when the flag drops at the History…
