Dale Jr Already Has A Replacement?
When you are one of the best in your field people are always looking to take your place. This happens in NASCAR and Dale Jr. is seeing that right before his eyes. Who is taking his place? Well it is a guy named Dewey Ryder. He even penned a letter about what he is looking to do. We at MANjr got our hands on the letter and we want to share it you!
Dewey writes:
What’s up, racing fans. I’m Dewey Ryder, here to announce the biggest racing news since lug nuts. Me. The only person capable of filling Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s green firesuit when he retires at the end of the season. And as the handsome new face of Mountain Dew, I’m issuing this official press release while I chug that bold, citrus nectar.
I’ll be picking up right where Junior left off. Driving fast cars. Endorsementing. Basically, the same stuff that he does.
While I have never actually driven a stock car, I know enough to be dangerous. Now, you may be asking yourself, “Aren’t you Danny McBride, the world’s funniest actor? What are you doing racing cars?” To which I say, “Pfft. I’m Dewey Ryder, the rightful heir to this throne.”
This is surely a bittersweet announcement for some of you. Dale Jr. and Mountain Dew have been partners since 2008. Dale Jr. is super popular and everyone says he’s a swell guy. But every time a stock car door closes, another stock car door opens [editor’s correction: stock cars do not have doors] and I’m here to pick up the mantle.
For the future generations, I videotaped the passing of the torch moment and it’s on the interweb right now. It’s a real tear jerker. While this was completely 100 percent my idea, I am supposed to mention it was in collaboration with the ad nerds at BBDO. You can witness the momentous occasion on NBCSN Sunday, Oct. 29, during the Martinsville Speedway race. You’re welcome.
But don’t just take my word for it. When I spoke to my buddy, Dale Jr., he said, and I quote, “My partnership with DEW goes back almost a decade and it’s been an amazing ride. I knew the guy who’d come after me would be someone special, and Dewey’s definitely… well, he’s someone.”
DEW can back that up too. “Dewey has no racing experience. No training behind the wheel. And, we have no idea how this is going to work out,” said Chauncey Hamlett, Senior Director of Marketing, Mtn Dew. “We’ll definitely miss seeing Dale Jr. behind the wheel as he starts his retirement, as he is an incredible partner to the brand. Dewey Ryder brings something we’ve never seen before, from the way he holds a bottle of DEW to his bold, fun and boundary-pushing style.”
There you have it. To recap, Dale Jr. is retiring and I’m the new model – the upgrade – if you will.
Stay tuned. Down the road there will be more Dewey for many moons to come. To join the conversation, just follow @MountainDew on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat and use the hashtag #DeweyRyder.

Kris Bryant Still Making Magic In October
The Chicago Cubs are out of the playoffs, but Kris Bryant is still doing his part to spread some magic in October. During MLB’s “Players Weekend” in August, Kris Bryant wore three pairs of specially designed cleats to shine a light on spinal cord research. Now, fans can bid on those game-worn cleats at charitybuzz.com/KBcleats. In those cleats, Kris Bryant went 4 for 11 with a homerun and a sizzling .364 average against the Phillies.
As you may know, the cause is near to Bryant because he is friends with Cory Hahn, a former All-American high school baseball player who was paralyzed sliding into 2nd base in 2011 while a freshman at Arizona State University.
As background, three Chicago street artists designed the cleats with a theme of “Wings” in honor of the Wings for Life Foundation, which is dedicated to raising money for spinal cord research. Each pair also celebrated one of the three cities that have given Kris Bryant his wings in life – Las Vegas, San Diego and Chicago. An incredibly huge list of games for you. Check out henti games sites download and I think you will find a game to your liking.
Who are the artists?
The Las Vegas edition cleat was designed by artist Joseph Perez – aka “Sentrock” – using inspiration from Bryant’s hometown of Las Vegas.
The San Diego edition cleat was designed by street artist JC Rivera, in honor of Bryant’s University of San Diego days when he became a nationally known name in the world of baseball.
The Chicago edition cleat was designed by artist Max Sansing, who was born in Chicago and has a history with Kris Bryant dating back to Summer 2016 when he collaborated on a stunning mural of the player that is still up in the heart of Chicago’s Wrigleyville.

MTN Dew Celebrates Russell Westbrook With New Suit
Not only are NBA fans getting ready for the NBA season kick off today, but so is Mountain Dew. They just announced over the summer that the brand would honor brand athlete and NBA MVP Russell Westbrook with a truly unique fashion outfit for his wardrobe: the first ever Triple-Double Breasted Suit. And just in time for tipoff of the 2016-2017 NBA season, the suit has arrived.
Created by American menswear designer Mark McNairy, the Triple-Double Breasted Suit pays homage to Russ’ record breaking season and “Don’t Do They” mentality – whether on the court dropping 50 point triple doubles, or off the court sporting flashy post-game outfits.
The suit includes several unique style elements that pay tribute to his historic campaign, including:
Don’t Do They: Russ’ iconic rallying cry from his ASW commercial is featured on the underside of the jacket collar as a bold “THEY” crossed out in green
42: Russ’ season-defining tripe double record is emblazoned on the jacket breast pocket
Camo Pattern: DEW has a history with camo as does McNairy which made camo an obvious color choice.

Propel Your Star Wars Love With These Drones
When Force Friday II happened last month a lot of my fellow geeks were feeling the same way I was, which was pure joy. One of the reason was because Propel had their Star Wars drones for sale. These are not your average drones. These are legit drones. From the packaging to the design to the presentation to the actual flying of these drones you will feel one with the Force as you steer each drone.
Propel did a fantastic job with these drones. The detail is incredible. Once you open up the box you will hear music or audio from the movies and the box lights up to display each drone. There is some assembly required, but it is not that extensive. You are able to fly your drones in a matter of minutes.
Some of the features are that the drones can go faster than 35 MPH. you can battle with other drones and people if they have the other Star Wars drones. There are push button aerial stunts and multiple speed settings which helps if you are a beginner pilot with drones. For you collectors you will be happy to know that each drop is hand painted and numbered, You get a 2.4 GHZ controller. There is a charge time for about a half an hour and a run time of 8 minutes. Here are the three drone types.
T-65 X-WING STARFIGHTER
The X-wing played a major role in the Galactic Civil War following its capture on Fresia and the defection of its designers to the Alliance. It was heralded as the fighter that, in the hands of Luke Skywalker, destroyed the Death Star.
Later in the war it formed the backbone of the Alliance Starfighter Corps, defending Alliance ships and leading attacks on Imperial vessels and installations. Most importantly, when handled by an experienced pilot, it could perform on near equal terms with the Empire’s high-performance TIE fighters.
74-Z SPEEDER BIKE
Speeder bikes, also known as jumpspeeders, were open-air repulsor lift vehicles that maximised speed and maneuverability over stability.
The model that saw service during the Clone Wars was the 74-Z speeder bike. These bikes were usually piloted by scout troopers and were able to jam comlinks. They were considered by some to be “death traps”, but the speeder bikes were equipped with a head up display (HUD) showing information about the terrain ahead from sensors.
TIE ADVANCED X1
Darth Vader’s fighter boasted greater speed and heavier firepower than standard Imperial TIE Fighters. It featured fixed-mounted twin blaster cannons and a cluster missile launcher.
High-performance solar cells were fitted into the fighter’s curved wings. Vader specified a custom cockpit to accommodate his armored suit.
