Ryan Preece, Driver of the No. 41 Autodesk Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing

What are your thoughts heading to Texas this weekend after having a strong race at Bristol last Saturday?

“I’m looking forward to getting to Texas and seeing what this No. 41 team can do. We’ve been working hard on different setups and figuring out what works best for us to show the most speed at these types of tracks. We had a really good weekend at Bristol and that’s exactly what we needed. I’ve mentioned it before, but consistencty is what we’re looking for most in these final races, so we want to keep that going. SHR has had speed at Texas in the past and I think, if we bring that with us this weekend, we can have a really decent day.”

Although you’re not competing for the championship this season, does anything change in these final races from your perspective?
“Nothing changes for me. This is my job and this is what I’ve worked my whole life for, so nothing changes for me. I’m at the shop during the week, in the simulator and working out. I keep the same routine as best I can during the week. My crew chief Chad (Johnston) and I are always talking and working on different ways to approach things to consistently get better. We want to continue qualifying better and better each weekend and then putting ourselves in position to run up front and stay out of trouble throughout the entire race. That will be important this week at Texas and definitely next weekend at Talladega. I’m looking forward to it.”

Lone Star Racing Scores First IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Podium and Completes Successful IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Indianapolis Motor Speedway Debut

By
Official Release
-

CRESSON, Texas (September 19, 2023) – Lone Star Racing scored a milestone race finish for an established program and successfully launched a new one in a full weekend of competition for the Texas-based team and co-drivers Anton Dias Perera and Scott Andrews in the IMSA Battle on the Bricks this past Saturday and Sunday on the road course at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS).

Doubling up on their Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing programs on the 2.439-mile IMS road course, Lone Star, Perera and Andrews made their debut together in top-tier IMSA competition in Sunday’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race while continuing their competitive IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge Grand Sport (GS) campaign in Saturday’s four-hour Indianapolis Motor Speedway 240.

Both efforts reached and even maximized their goals in a successful weekend, but it was Saturday’s fast and frenzied four-hour race into darkness in which the Lone Star team and drivers truly shined.

A highlight event of this year’s full-season campaign by Perera and Andrews in the No. 27 Lone Star Racing/Bluff City Racing Mercedes-AMG GT4 in Pilot Challenge GS, the four-hour race started at 4:30 p.m. EDT and literally raced into the night for the checkered flag at 8:30 p.m. EDT.

After a clean and competitive opening driving stint by Perera, Andrews challenged in the lead pack throughout the final half of the race and stepped up in a mad dash to the finish to challenge for the win. With the clock winding down, Andrews kept the pressure on the race leader in the closing minutes, almost closing enough to attempt a pass, but he ultimately crossed the finish line a scant 0.566 of a second behind the winner.

The second place finish was still a season-best result for the No. 27 Lone Star Racing team and drivers after coming so close to reaching the podium – if not a victory – several times this season.

Lone Star and its drivers carried the momentum of Saturday night’s thriller straight into their debut as a team in the GT Daytona (GTD) class in the No. 15 Lone Star Racing/Bluff City Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 on Sunday.

Rebounding from a pair of early spins, the Lone Star team and drivers met their pre-race goal of finishing in their GTD debut together. Andrews brought the No. 15 across the finish line in 15th place, just one lap behind the front runners.

“It’s really validating for our program, it’s satisfying for our guys to get the result, get a podium,” said AJ Petersen, Lone Star Racing Team Manager and Technical Director. “Of course, we still wanted more. We’re always wanting more, but it was very satisfying Saturday night to finally make it to victory lane. I am also proud of hitting our goal of finishing Sunday’s race in Anton’s GT3 debut. All weekend our execution as a team was fantastic, Anton drove very well and improved all weekend, and you can count on Scott to always be fast. Everybody gets along and works well together. It’s a consistent feeling in the tent. We’re all in it, pulling in the same direction, and that’s rare.”

Perera and Andrews are in their first season racing with Lone Star but the team gelled from their very first race together at Daytona in January.

“In GT4, a podium was a long time coming,” Perera said. “It was a long race, so it was important not to have any damage and bring the car home on the lead lap. Scott Andrews is a fast driver, the Mercedes-AMG GT4 is great on long runs, and the car comes alive as the race goes on. The team has been working well together so that was good. It was a brand-new track for me, I’ve never been here, which is always challenging, especially in a new car on Sunday. We checked all the boxes. I spent most of my time on how to manage traffic and keep the car clean, but it was definitely a baptism by fire. It was frenzied and fast paced but it was really good, and for the team as well. Lots of positives and a lot of things to work on too.”

“It was a successful weekend,” Andrews said. We walked away with a GS trophy, which had definitely been a long time coming for this particular operation. I’m glad to finally get the monkey off our backs, so to speak. Sunday’s race was about learning. The Mercedes-AMG GT3 program is new and I’m proud to be a part of it. We’ll definitely be able to use this as a building block and continue moving forward.”

Emotions ran high as the Lone Star team and drivers celebrated their first visit to victory lane together on the hallowed ground of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“It’s just an absolute testament to the team,” Andrews said. “We just never give up, we work so hard and tirelessly, particularly for this weekend’s double-duty effort. I’m just so happy, this result is for my teammates and for my family back home in Australia. They’ve been supporting me. I haven’t lived there in 10 years, do go back for Christmas, but they’re not over here. So this is for them, for Anton and the whole team.”

Petersen thought of his family and Lone Star Racing owner and driver Dan Knox in victory lane and recalled the team’s role in last October’s Intercontinental GT Challenge Indianapolis 8 Hour victory by Mercedes-AMG Team Craft-Bamboo Racing. Petersen worked with the Hong Kong-based team throughout the event and Lone Star provided the winning Mercedes-AMG GT3 and all of the foundational support for the effort, including pit and paddock equipment and all car setup.

“None of us could make the commitment required to be successful at this level of competition without the love, support and incredible understanding of our families,” Petersen said. “I am thinking of and have to thank my wife and children back home in Texas while we are up here on the podium at Indianapolis. I am also really thankful for Dan. He was texting me the whole race, this result is for him, and we wouldn’t even be here without him. This one means a little more than last year, just because it was all us. We’ve had stronger cars and had stronger performances in the past but it just came together Saturday.”

Next up for Lone Star Racing is a return to Indy in three weeks with a multi-car effort for this year’s Indianapolis 8 Hour and season-ending SRO Motorsports America race weekend, October 5 – 8. One weekend later, the IMSA season-ending Motul Petit Le Mans takes place at Michelin Raceway Laguna Seca where Andrews, Perera and the No. 27 team will get a final shot at securing their first GS race win of the season in Friday’s Michelin Pilot Challenge finale.

Lone Star Racing competes in the 2023 season with the support of ACS Manufacturing and Bluff City Racing.

How to Safely Navigate Dangerous Roads and Prevent Car Accidents in New Jersey

By

The roads in New Jersey can occasionally be difficult to drive on. To protect everyone’s safety, drivers must be ready for various situations like rain, snow, and congested junctions. Whether you’re a beginner driver or an experienced one, this article offers helpful advice for everyone utilizing beginner Jersey roadways. 

We’ll go into certain guidelines, rules, and best practices that can assist you in navigating even the most challenging stretches of our state’s roads. Keeping yourself and other drivers safe by being informed and taking these precautions will help lower the likelihood of accidents.

Navigating Dangerous Road Conditions in New Jersey

New Jersey roads present a variety of challenges to drivers. One common issue is potholes. These are holes in the road’s surface, often caused by wear and tear, that can damage vehicles. Additionally, the state experiences various weather conditions that can make driving tricky. Icy roads, especially during the winter months, can become slippery and lead to skidding if drivers are not careful. Rain can create wet road surfaces, making it harder for vehicles to grip the road.

Furthermore, there are certain roads and intersections in New Jersey that have gained a reputation for being particularly hazardous. Drivers must be extra cautious when navigating these areas. Staying alert, understanding the unique challenges of New Jersey’s roadways, and adhering to the safety measures discussed in this article can significantly decrease the risks and ensure safer travel for everyone.

Essential Driving Safety Tips for New Jersey Roadways

Driving safely in New Jersey requires a combination of preparedness and adherence to vital safety practices. Here are some crucial guidelines every driver should follow:

Maintain Your Vehicle

The condition of your car plays a central role in ensuring safety on the roads. Regularly schedule check-ups to inspect essential components. It’s imperative to ensure that the tires are in good shape, providing the necessary grip. Additionally, brakes must be examined frequently to ascertain they function optimally, allowing drivers to stop when needed without complications.

Stay Updated with Weather Forecasts

Weather conditions significantly influence road safety. Before heading out, especially during the winter months, always check the weather forecast. This will provide insight into potential road conditions, preparing drivers for what lies ahead and allowing them to take necessary precautions.

Avoid Distracted Driving

Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or engaging in other distractions while driving can have serious consequences. Distractions reduce a driver’s reaction time and awareness, increasing the likelihood of accidents. It’s essential to remain focused on the road at all times.

Observe Speed Limits

Speed limits are set for a reason. They are determined based on road conditions, traffic volume, and other factors to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. Drivers must respect these limits, especially in areas notorious for accidents. Faster speeds may reduce the driver’s ability to steer safely around curves or objects in the roadway.

Use Turn Signals

Indicating your intentions on the road is not just courteous but also a safety necessity. Turn signals inform other drivers of your plans, allowing them to react appropriately. Always ensure you signal well in advance before making a turn or changing lanes.

Adapting to New Jersey’s Diverse Road Conditions

In New Jersey, drivers encounter a variety of road conditions. It’s essential to adjust driving habits accordingly for safety.

Rain and Wet Roads

Wet roads can be slippery. It’s vital to increase the distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This provides more time to react if the car ahead stops suddenly. Always turn on your headlights in the rain, ensuring you’re visible to others. Moreover, drive at a moderate speed to prevent hydroplaning, where the car slides uncontrollably on a wet surface.

Snow and Ice

Winter roads in New Jersey can be treacherous. Snow tires enhance grip on snowy and icy surfaces, making them a wise choice. Slowing down is also crucial, as higher speeds can lead to skidding. When braking on icy roads, do so gently to avoid losing control of the vehicle.

Night Driving

Driving after dark presents its own challenges. Ensure all headlights and tail lights are working correctly for clear vision and to signal your presence to other drivers. Always be on the lookout for animals, especially in less urban areas, as they can suddenly appear on roads. Moreover, even if the road seems clear, reduce your speed. Visibility decreases at night, so slower speeds provide more reaction time for unexpected obstacles.

Adapting to these conditions is essential for every driver’s safety on New Jersey’s roads. By recognizing and understanding these challenges, one can make informed decisions and navigate safely.

The Crucial Role of Defensive Driving in New Jersey

Defensive driving refers to a set of skills that allow individuals to drive safely by anticipating potential dangers and responding effectively. It’s not just about how you drive, but also about predicting and preparing for how others might drive. The importance of this driving approach cannot be overstated, as it plays a vital role in preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of all road users.

Key defensive driving strategies include:

Anticipating Other Drivers

This means always being prepared for the unexpected moves of other drivers. By predicting what others might do, you can make safer decisions.

Staying Alert

It’s essential to remain attentive and avoid distractions. This ensures quick reaction times to any sudden changes on the road.

Maintaining Safe Distances

Keeping a reasonable gap between your vehicle and the one ahead allows more time to stop if necessary.

New Jersey’s Traffic Laws and Regulations

To further ensure safety, New Jersey has specific traffic laws in place. These laws aim to guide drivers toward safer habits. For instance:

Cell Phone Use

New Jersey prohibits the use of handheld devices while driving, reducing distractions.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

It’s illegal to operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This law aims to keep impaired drivers off the roads.

Seat Belt Requirements

All passengers in a vehicle, both front and back, are required to wear seat belts. This simple action can greatly reduce injury in case of a collision

Emerging Technologies Enhancing Road Safety

With advancements in technology, many modern vehicles are now equipped with tools designed to assist drivers and bolster safety. Some of these innovations include:

Backup Cameras

These cameras provide drivers with a clear view of the area behind their vehicle, reducing the risk of collisions while reversing.

Lane Departure Warnings

This system alerts drivers if they unintentionally drift out of their lane, helping to prevent potential accidents.

Adaptive Cruise Control

This feature automatically adjusts a vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead, offering added comfort and protection on highways.

While these technologies offer valuable support, it’s essential for drivers to understand and use them correctly. Relying solely on them without proper knowledge can lead to misjudgments.

Seeking Legal Guidance After a Road Incident in Jersey City

In the unfortunate event of a car accident in New Jersey, understanding your rights and legal options is crucial. A specialized car accident or jersey city personal injury lawyer in the area can offer valuable assistance. Such professionals are well-versed in local regulations and can guide victims through the complexities of seeking rightful compensation. 

Whether it’s navigating insurance claims or pursuing legal action, having a trusted Jersey City car accident lawyer by your side can make a significant difference. Their expertise ensures that those affected by road accidents receive the support and justice they deserve.

Promoting Road Safety Through Public Awareness and Education

In addition to technological advancements, community efforts play a crucial role in enhancing road safety. New Jersey has initiated several campaigns and programs focused on educating the public about safe driving habits. These initiatives emphasize the collective responsibility of the community to ensure safer roads.

Public participation in these programs, whether it’s attending seminars or following road safety campaigns, is vital. An informed community can make better decisions on the road, leading to fewer accidents and a safer driving environment for everyone. It’s not just about individual drivers; it’s about the entire community coming together for the shared goal of road safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is defensive driving?

Defensive driving is a set of skills that allow drivers to anticipate potential dangers and respond effectively to ensure safety on the road.

Are there specific New Jersey laws about cell phone use while driving?

Yes, New Jersey prohibits the use of handheld devices while driving to reduce distractions.

How can I stay updated on New Jersey’s road safety campaigns?

You can stay informed by following local news outlets, the New Jersey Department of Transportation website, or community boards for updates on road safety initiatives.

Are technologies like backup cameras and lane departure warnings standard in all new cars?

While many new vehicles come equipped with these safety features, they may not be standard in all models. It’s essential to check specific car features before purchasing.

Why is community involvement important for road safety?

Community involvement promotes collective responsibility, ensuring everyone is informed and works together to create safer road environments.

Conclusion

In New Jersey, safe driving is more than simply a personal obligation; it’s a commitment to the health of our neighborhood. Every driver contributes to keeping our roadways safe for everyone. We can all make a difference by remaining informed about best practices, using available technologies appropriately, and taking part in regional safety initiatives. 

Let’s promise to drive safely at all times, putting other people’s lives first. We can work together to make New Jersey safer for all residents and visitors.

Michael McDowell and the No. 34 Love’s Travel Stops / Chevron Delo Ford Mustang Team Texas Motor Speedway Competition Notes

TEAM AND RACE NOTES:

Although Michael McDowell and the No. 34 team will not be racing for the NASCAR Cup Series championship, this team is still on a mission to make history for Front Row Motorsports (FRM).

As teams get eliminated from the playoffs, points are reset to 2,000 plus points earned in the playoffs. This means, theoretically, McDowell can finish as high as fifth in the championship.

For McDowell and the No. 34 team, the goal is setting a new high mark in the history of FRM at the end of the season. McDowell and Chris Buescher currently own the best season-end mark for FRM at 16th.

Sunday’s race is live on the USA Network at 3:30 p.m. ET.

COMPETITION NOTES:

In 2021, McDowell and the No. 34 team finished 16th in the NASCAR Cup Series championship. Heading into the Texas Motor Speedway (TMS), McDowell is 16th in points, but only 12 points out of 13th as the team attempts to gain more spots by the end of the season.

McDowell will be making his 25th start at TMS. His best start is fifth and finish is 11th last season.

CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:

“We’re disappointed to be eliminated from the playoffs, but there is still a lot to race for. It’s cool to chase history for FRM and we want to be able to do that for our organization and for Michael.”

DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:

“This is part of the process for us. We didn’t have what we needed to advance, but we’re still a playoff team in two of the past three seasons with wins. And having points to do it this year without the win. So, we see consistency and that’s how you build.

“The rest of this year is getting as high as possible in points, making more history and racing for another win.”

Harvick’s streak started in 2017 when he passed Martin Truex Jr. with 10 laps remaining to register his first Cup victory at the speedway in 30 starts. Domination was the word used to describe his next two victories as he led 177-of-334 laps to win in 2018 and then 119 more in his 2019 triumph. On each occasion, the win propelled Harvick to a spot in the Championship 4.

LAST LAP PASS LEADS TO LOGANO VICTORY

Joey Logano’s first Cup win at TMS came in 2014 in a race that was delayed until Monday because of rain. Logano dominated much of the second half, but a caution with two laps to go forced a green-white-checker finish. He started third on the restart after the leaders stopped on pit road and was able to get past Jeff Gordon on the final lap to claim victory. Logano led 108 of the final 116 laps to claim the first of five wins that season.

A TEXAS TWO-FIRST

A couple of firsts happened on April 6, 1997 as Texas Motor Speedway hosted its inaugural NASCAR Cup Series event and Jeff Burton took his first checkered flag. Burton, led by crew chief Buddy Parrott, passed Todd Bodine with 58 laps remaining and beat fellow Ford driver Dale Jarrett to the finish line by four seconds. The race was slowed by 10 cautions, which included a multi-car accident in first turn of the first lap. Burton went on to win 21 career series races with 17 of those coming in a Thunderbird or Taurus.

CUSTER IN CONTENTION

Cole Custer had a solid playoff opener as he won the pole and led 102 laps in finishing fourth last week at Bristol Motor Speedway. He comes into the Texas race ranked third in the standings, 39 points ahead of the cut line with two races remaining in the Round of 12. Custer, who won at Texas in 2018, currently ranks in a three-way tie for seventh on the all-time NXS Ford win list with 12 career victories, including two this season in Portland and Chicago.

NASCAR Arcade Rush delivers a reimagined twist on the most legendary tracks

By
SM Staff
-

Get ready for the new NASCAR Arcade Rush, with a new twist to the popular racing game.  NASCAR Arcade Rush is an arcade-style racing game that still delivers petal to the metal heart-pumping action but with a reimagined twist on NASCAR’s most legendary tracks and iconic cars.

NASCAR Arcade Rush from GameMill Entertainment was released on September 15 for the PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox X|S, and Xbox One.

You can customize your car and your driver’s suit with thousands of combinations, making yourself and your race car a reflection of your NASCAR racing spirit.  Once you are all suited up and detailed, you can get ready to race NASCAR’s well-known tracks like Talladega, Daytona, Darlington, Martinsville, and Homestead-Miami Speedway, but in reimagined arcade style.  Twelve tracks in total are based on the real NASCAR tracks.  For NASCAR lovers and players of previous versions, such as NASCAR Heat, this game may or may not be for you.  Don’t expect to recognize the reimaged tracks; enjoy playing NASCAR, arcade-style.

NASCAR Arcade Rush features unheard-of things such as twists, jumps, nitro boost pads, hair-raising turns, and other surprises at the finish line.  The game also has several game modes to choose from, such as NACAR career, online, and local multiplayer.

After a pretty cool and loud game introduction, which gets annoying after restarting the game a few times since you cannot skip it, you will have the choice of playing solo or head-to-head multiplayer, two-player split screen, or online with up to 12 players and multiple difficulty options.  Note that local multiplayer is not available on Nintendo Switch.

Solo players can play a quick race, Cup Series, or test their skills in a time attack.  You need to play the 4-race series and gain enough XP, depending on what position you finish in, to unlock the next 12 series and other awards.  The game features a lot of unlockable content.  You begin at level one and will max out at level 100.

The gameplay, however, seems to be a little unbalanced.  You can hit nearly every blue or yellow boost, using the boost (A) sparingly, and make the perfect lap, yet your rivals always seem right on your bumper.  While it’s fun keeping your “rival” close, it’s not as gratifying as the feeling you get when you run away from the rest of the field.

NASCAR Arcade Rush offers a stable framerate, detail, quality effects, smooth controls, and decent audio effects in the game.  If you plan to use the keyboard, you will be limited, and the game works best with a gamepad.

Besides the limited control options, we believe that the price on Steam at $49.99 for the base game and $64.58 for Projext-X is a bit pricey for this game.  It was released on Steam on sale (until Sept 22) for $39.99 or $50.58 for the NASCAR Arcade Rush Project-X Edition.

At that price point, you must compare it to the higher-quality racing games, which may fall short for many racers.  But don’t let the price point deter you from the game.  The game is surprisingly an excellent, well-crafted arcade-style twist on a NASCAR racing game.

Pros:

  • Very responsive and intuitive controls
  • Fun suit and car customizations
  • Unique track twists
  • Lots to unlock
  • Multiplayer

Cons:

  • Lack of players
  • Lack of control options
  • Price
  • Camera angle restrictions

You can get more details on the game at NASCARArcadeRush.com

If you want more content, you can purchase the NASCAR Arcade Rush Project-X Bundle, which includes the base game and bonus content.  You get a hovercraft car model, Project-X paint scheme for the rims, wheels, and spoiler, themed driver suit and helmet, team sponsorship option, vehicle FX package, and four additional in-game emojis to showcase your style.

STATESVILLE, N.C. (September 18, 2023) – Although Byron, Michigan native Erik Jones would probably prefer Detroit Vs. Everybody® on his racecar – for this weekend he is going to be a fan of Dallas. LEGACY MOTOR CLUB today announced a partnership with the Vs. Everybody ® fashion brand, a leading apparel company which will be featured on Erik Jones’ No. 43 Chevrolet for the 500-mile event at Texas Motor Speedway on September 24.

Through the collaboration with LEGACY M.C., Vs. Everybody will launch their brand in Dallas this weekend a d a silver, white and blue Dallas Vs. Everybody® will adorn the hood of Jones’s No. 43 Chevrolet.

“We are excited to welcome Vs. Everybody® on board as our primary partner this weekend,” said Jones. “The brand was created out of pride for the city of Detroit, which means a lot to me personally. Being from Michigan, and being a fan of the Lions, I have a Detroit Vs. Everybody® shirt, and it’s cool to introduce this brand into the Dallas market. Tying it to my foundation makes it even more special.”

“It’s nice to see this partnership finally come to fruition,” said Jimmie Johnson, co-owner of LEGACY MOTOR CLUB. “We’ve been working on this since the spring to find the right opportunity to go to market and promote the brand. It’s really a unique partnership and opportunity for the team to have some visibility in the lifestyle space and provide fans of all sports in each town with some attention-grabbing apparel to show their pride.”

In 2012, founder Tommey Walker’s inaugural Vs. Everybody® collection was launched and was instantly embraced by the city of Detroit. The brand has since burgeoned into a formidable movement that’s resonated locally, nationally, and internationally. Detroit Vs. Everybody has enjoyed wide-ranging media exposure on shows like The Colbert Report and American Idol. The brand’s influence spans the realms of sports, news, and entertainment, engaging celebrities Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, Big Sean, Drake, and Nas. Eminem’s Shady Records and Gucci have licensed the mantra for their respective “Shady Vs. Everybody” and “Gucci Vs Everybody” collaborations. The Detroit Pistons have also worked with Vs. Everybody giving out over 22,000 t-shirts to fans.

This weekend marks the initial foray into NASCAR competition for the brand.

“This collaboration with LEGACY MOTOR CLUB to bring Dallas Vs. Everybody® to life at Texas Motor Speedway is more than just introducing a new brand to a city; it’s about championing the spirit of a city and its people,” Walker said. “We’re here to remind everyone that Dallas, just like Detroit, is a force to be reckoned with.”

In the spirit of the partnership with Vs. Everybody® fans can purchase Dallas Vs. Everybody® branded t-shirts at the trackside merchandise hauler or online at www.dallasvseverybody.com. A portion of the proceeds from t-shirt sales will benefit the Erik Jones Foundation. The goal is to spread the message throughout the city of Dallas and allow Vs. Everybody® to make a positive impact both on and off the racetrack.

The NASCAR Cup Series 500-mile race at Texas Motor Speedway will take place on Sunday, Sept. 24 at 3:30 p.m. ET, and is scheduled to broadcast on USA Network, PRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90.

About Vs. Everybody®:

Founded on the principles of resilience and pride, Detroit Vs Everybody is a locally-originated fashion label encapsulating the essence of Detroit. Each of our collection pieces is the creative product of Tommey Walker, a dynamic artist, brand steward, and problem-solver. Consider our brand as Detroit’s emissary, a token of the city to be carried along with you. Born out of Walker’s discontent with the continuous negative media portrayal and undervaluation of Detroit’s cultural richness, he aimed to rejuvenate the city’s image and instill universal pride among Detroiters. Thus, our brand was established with the simple yet powerful “Vs Everybody” mantra. Detroit Vs. Everybody not only aimed to rally Detroiters but also to challenge the world with the city’s defiant spirit. It’s more than just a statement, it’s an anthem and a movement.
