Okay am I dumb, or did I miss something. I've seen the race car guys around a bunch but I don't get why they are here, please help

I would also like to know why Dale Earnhardt is in so many maymays lately.

Seems like a niche initiative to use right wing, working class idols to promote socialist ideals. My guess is the intent is the target market is more likely to read the meme and view it in a positive manner when paired with someone they respect instead of, say, Einstein or MLK Jr.

I assumed it was to sarcastically "twist" there idols. Kind of like the "Jesus being a dick" memes.
