Whether driving stock cars, rally cars, or even virtual vehicles, all race teams have one thing in common. They all need a marketable team name.

Racing team names can be calling cards, advertisements, warnings, or inspirations. They’re also the only thing your opponents will remember about you unless you come in first (or maybe if you crash into them).

People tend to remember that, for some reason.
