The Carpy’s crew has a busy July lined up!
First up, we’re heading to the Firecracker Classic at NORCAR, July 11–12.
This place is basically our second home. Wayne and the whole crew always throw down a killer event… fast carpet, stacked classes, and a day so long it will make you question your life choices. It’s the biggest carpet oval event of the summer, and if you’ve ever pitted next to us… you already know it’s about to be a time.
Then, we’re switching things up—big time.
On July 19, we’re loading up and heading to Bubs Backyard Speedway.
Now listen… we’ve never been to Bubs. We’ve never run rubber tire dirt oval. And yet, here we are. We’ll be behind the wheel of one of Drew Christopher’s 13.5 sprints, just hoping he packed a few spare A-arms and maybe a prayer or two.
Word is, Bubs is one of New York’s premiere outdoor dirt ovals. Minimal practice , solid competition, and a legit backyard vibe that tht is sure to be a blast. We’re all in…. even if we have no idea what we’re doing.
So yeah… from carpet chaos to dirt drama, we’re giving July everything we’ve got (and probably more than we should).
If you see us in the pits… stop by. We might even let you weigh in on the lunch debate.

Our guy Troy Turner from TnT Racing RC Performance Parts rolled in with his fleet looking absolutely killer … each one decked out in full Carpy’s custom wrap glory. The color fade, the metallic detail, the sharp lines — it was a head-turner before the cars even hit the track. Under the lights at Brickhouse, those wraps popped like fireworks. Troy wasn’t just there to look good though he backed it up on the track. Running the new Pitbull compound tires, he had every car dialed and hooked up. Seeing racers walk over to check out his rides and ask,Continue reading “Troy Turner @ Brickhouse RC” - Kraken Up! Ep: 21 Greg Cummings
Watch Now: This week on the Kraken Up! Podcast, we hung out with our buddy Greg Cummings… the mastermind behind Guru’s World on YouTube… and man, we covered it all. From Losi NASCARs and late-night paint sessions to King Superspeedway tales and the wild world of being a YouTuber… Greg brought the real talk. We even took a little trip down memory lane… swapping stories from the early days of Carpy’s… back when we were just trying to make things stick (literally and figuratively). Greg’s one of those dudes who just gets it… he’s been around the hobby long enoughContinue reading “Kraken Up! Ep: 21 Greg Cummings” - Season Opener @ Brickhouse RC
The Wildthing Racing Shootout at Brickhouse RC Raceway was pure chaos… in the best way possible. With 103 entries filling the pits, the season opener had the energy of a full-blown dirt track night… just on a smaller (but equally rowdy) scale. And let’s talk about that track. The new surface is dialing in fast… and we mean fast. We’re talking lightning-quick 3.7s from SC Mods, Outlaw Late Models, and Mod 410 Sprints. Once the timing system fix gets dropped in, this place is going to be even nastier (in a good way). Huge props to Bobby Boone and theContinue reading “Season Opener @ Brickhouse RC” - SURPRISE MERCH DROP: Aiden Miller Breast Cancer Awareness Merch

Well folks… that’s a wrap on the season at Action Park East Kart Speedway, and what a way to end it. Championship Night gave us everything we love about racing fast laps, nail-biters at the line, and a whole lot of heart from every driver who hit the track. The Collins crew showed up and showed out, and we couldn’t be prouder to work with them all season long. Jr1 Rookie – Amelia Keeps It Rolling Amelia started her night on the pole and looked locked in from the start. She wheeled her way to 3rd in the heat andContinue reading “Action Park East Champions!” - THE BEST MARKETING MONEY YOU CAN SPEND |VEHICLE GRAPHICS

Hey everyone, just a little shout-out for our friends at Close Racing Supply who are hitting the big three-zero this year. We’ve been rolling out their shirts for the last three years, and every time they do a restock, those tees basically vanish faster than a race car off the starting line. So we’re just here to say happy 30th to CRS—proud to be part of the journey and keep those fans geared up! And by the way, that’s just one piece of what we do here. We’ve got a full in-house screen printing department, an embroidery department, and aContinue reading “Printing Shirts | CRS 30 Year Celebration” - HOW TO INSTALL Pro-Line F-150 1/12 WRAP
Hey friends, We just dropped a fresh video tutorial showing you how we decked out the Pro-Line F-150 NASCAR truck body with one of our custom wraps. It’s basically like giving your RC truck a brand-new suit, and let’s be real, it looks pretty slick. If the F-150 isn’t quite your style, we’ve got wraps ready for the Silverado and the Tundra too. And the best part? Every single wrap is custom-designed to order, so your RC ride is going to stand out in the crowd. We’ve been doing this for a while over 200,000 wrap orders and counting soContinue reading “HOW TO INSTALL Pro-Line F-150 1/12 WRAP” - New Race Merch Drop: Nicholas Sturdivant

It’s not even 9:30 and we’ve already been out making vehicles look way better than they did when they woke up. First up, we decked out a truck for Pow-Haul. Then we slid right over to an SUV and gave it a special one-way memorial graphic of our buddy Justin Myers—aka O2 Cool. Little touches like that mean a lot, and this one hit home. Custom graphics aren’t just about looking sharp they’re about telling a story, grabbing attention, and making sure your ride says something before you even open the door. And yeah, that’s exactly what we do hereContinue reading “New Graphics For Pow-Haul” - New Race Merch Drop: Dylan Strade
Hey there, friends! We’ve got some fun news coming straight out of the garage… Dylan Strade just dropped a whole new batch of merch! We’re talking fresh tees, some slick hats, and hoodies that you’ll probably live in once you get your hands on them. Now, we know you’re already hanging out here on the blog, so you’re obviously a bit curious. Picture this… you roll up to the next race rocking one of Dylan’s new tees, maybe with that comfy hoodie on top if the evening gets a little chilly. It’s not just gear… it’s like wearing a littleContinue reading “New Race Merch Drop: Dylan Strade” - Embroidery For NASCAR
When Southern Tier Security called us up with a rush order, we knew this wasn’t just any embroidery job… they were gearing up to sponsor a NASCAR Cup Car this weekend at Watkins Glen, and their team needed to look just as sharp as the car on the track. We fired up the embroidery machines and went to work on a batch of sleek, professional polos—stitched right here at Carpy’s in Olean, NY. Every detail mattered… from thread choice to stitch precision… because when your logo is standing next to some of the biggest names in motorsports, it needs toContinue reading “Embroidery For NASCAR” - Stitched & Printed: Inside the Dirt Oval Summer Nationals Gear
Okay.. so you know how every big race has that one piece of merch everyone wants but can’t just walk up and buy? Yeah.. we made those for the Dirt Oval Summer Nationals. First up.. the hats. All black Flexfit.. stitched clean with the Summer Nationals logo on the front and our Carpy’s squid on the side. Here’s the kicker.. you can’t buy one. The only way to get it is to win. Which means if you see someone wearing one.. they earned it. Then there’s Kevin Smith’s polos. Not just any polos.. Ogio branded. Grey performance fabric.. sponsor logosContinue reading “Stitched & Printed: Inside the Dirt Oval Summer Nationals Gear” - Don’t Be Caught on Your Knees Looking for Nuts
Let’s be honest… the pit area at most R/C tracks looks like someone tipped over a toolbox during an earthquake. Tools everywhere… screws bouncing around… and your brand-new wrap sitting on a scratched-up table like it deserves that kind of disrespect. That ends now. We dropped custom R/C pit mats for the people who actually give a damn about their setup. These aren’t some flimsy cheap foam things that roll up like a sad burrito. These are thick, durable, grippy-bottomed, race day ready pit mats custom printed to match your wrap, your sponsors, your number, your vibe. No more losingContinue reading “Don’t Be Caught on Your Knees Looking for Nuts”
