ACTIVE NATIONWIDE & TRUCK SERIES DRIVERS

(drivers not listed with Cup)

The M&Ms car

Elliott Sadler:  Candyman (old)--Elliott's most-successful Cup run was in the M&M's Ford.

Sam Hornish Jr:  Sideways Sam--derogatory nickname referring to Sam's tendency to spin-out and crash, especially at the Cup level.  His name is also occasionally used as a synonym for "crash", most-famously by Tony Stewart: "Did we get Hornished there?".

Justin Allgaier:  The Little Gator--refers both to his short stature and his last name's pronunciation ("gaier" sounding similar to "gator").  Justin's teams frequently have an inflatable or stuffed alligator in their transporters.

Chad Hackenbrach:  Hacken-something--self-ascribed nickname (occasionally seen over the driver-side window) in reference to his difficult-to-spell last name.

Kenny & Kim Wallace

Darrell Wallace Jr:  Bubba--UNKNOWN, though Bubba is a common nickname for southern men.

Kenny Wallace:  Herman--given by a local track promoter, alluding to Kenny's resemblance and similarities (especially in mischievous behavior) to comic-strip character Herman The German.  Also goes by "The Herminator", a portmanteau of "Herman" and "The Terminator".

Ron Hornaday Jr:  The Restart King--earned for his mastery of green-flag restarts in the Truck Series.

Todd Bodine:  The Onion--possibly self-ascribed, refers to his bald head, which loosely resembles an onion.  Was also called a "Cueball-Headed Fool" by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
