This is a movie
Hello
Dawson
Icy is def a industry plant
Up and down story
Imagine if you made you own channel called icyvert lol
He got Rajah Caruth to make fun of U23D so he’s ok in my book!
love him!
Rajah Caruth kept his mouth shut about her for a whole year, so tbh it was only a matter of time.
Now that has my attention
Im suprised that ultimate dragon didnt run him off on his 2nd day
Because I didn't know who he is???
@@Ultimate23Dragon Suprise, suprise. Look who showed up.
PFFFFFFFFFT
I have mixed feelings about this all. Because it's all kind of come from nowhere. But if he's legitimately wanting to be a fan. He's family to me ❤
Walks, talks, and smells like a industry plant…if you have to question it then you already know…
Love you BFM…

Welcome Dawson to the NASCAR community.
Interesting fact. Some people who used to play NFL or who didn’t make it are pit crew members for NASCAR teams. So there’s a connection to NASCAR and the NFL in a way
Yep. Quite literally saw it with a few CFL and practice squad linemen being on William Byron's pit crew during the 500.
Former LB Bernard Pollard, (The one who tore Tom Brady’s ACL) does stuff with Ally Racing and Bowman.
For anyone on any platform coming into the NASCAR space the first thing you got to know is that half (or more) of the fans are haters and they definitely have the loudest,most annoying voices.
Ignore them (don’t feed the animals) Hopefully NASCAR snatch this young man up. Maybe make a “Getting to know NASCAR” type show or documentary for new fans to follow into the sport. Make it cool to be a fan 😎
Nascar is about to become Mainstream again bc of Icy Vert
I hope
Just seems like a cool guy. Glad to see a new person bringing eyes to the sport!
If he’s a fan. There he’s a newest fan to the nascar family
A new NASCAR fan who is also a sports content creator and can help the sport be more mainstream? Yes, please!
never heard of him before this all happened but it was cool watching everything unfold this past week on twitter, hopefully he’s actually fr about all this, but i’ll understand if the interest fizzles out eventually
Sorry, I don't support fans of enemy territory. 🤷♂️
In all seriousness, i'm glad to see NASCAR branching out into other sports communuties and bringing in new fans, however, my one gripe is that this is the NASCAR this current generation will only ever know, the one with the playoff system, restrictions on HP, etc. without appreciating what came beforehand to where we are today.
That’s like saying some NFL fans didn’t grow up with championships and instead only know about the Super Bowl.
Who cares.
@@MyDogFulton Most of us, since NASCAR has been going on for 76 years and this is the 11th year that a ton of fans and drivers still point out they hate this system because it isn't appropriate for racing... NFL has had the Super Bowl since 1967 as part of a merger and playoffs since 1933.
Any and all new fans are welcome in NASCAR. Even if he was a plant or not is irrelavent. It's NEW EYES on the sport. It's POSITIVE ATTENTION. Like it or not, NASCAR is a dying sport right now. This brings a much needed spotlight on NASCAR.
Ya, right not dieing buddy.
@@Lowlife-jc8us NASCAR is a dying sport. Accept it. Viewership is still extremely down from it's highs and streaming numbers are nowhere near the heights of other streaming shows. New eyes help to keep it from dying and guys like IcyVert help get more viewers.
Been hearing this crap 20 years. Lol
@@KellieLeigh48 lol Bumblebee
@@Shay_Mendez ok, theres a huge difference in a dieing sport and a rising sport bro.
I see nothing wrong with this NASCAR is trying to capitalize on the publicity and he has a decent following on twitter so might as well try and win him over. He seems like a chill dude, I’d let him tailgate with my crew if he ever wanted to lol
I mean hey maybe he can bring more people to the sport?? I mean good for nascar trying to bring in more avenues. Honestly a dream of mine and this dude is living it. Good for him! Welcome to the sport Icy. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have since 99’ 😎
Psssst... Hes going to Charlotte
It's interesting how just some guy goes completely viral for making an observation that a lot of people made. It's a really cool gesture by NASCAR. And it's drivers to invite him to try to get him more acclimated to the sport as well. I'm happy for the dude.
More new fans is always a good thing.
Without this video, I would’ve never known who Icyvert was and why he was trending in the NASCAR community… Thanks Darian! And welcome to the sport Icyvert!
It's always great to see new people come into the sport and the fanbase, so, come on in IcyVert, don't let the weird ones like UltimateDragon23 scare you away (as we just ignore her anyways)
Ahem... \:|
@@Ultimate23Dragon I said what a said (even if I got your name wrong)
this video explains a lot lol
I love this, it’s awesome to see there being a new fan who genuinely wants to learn!! This is AWESOME
Great video BFM! This IcyVert fella seems cool
Yeah its jealousy cause "wHy dOEs a NoBodY GeT fRee TiCKets and NoT uS?" Of course haters gonna hate.
Weird how this guy gets so much attention from NASCAR and the teams while NASCAR doesnt even give af about their own content creators that have nearly just as big of an audience
The more voices the more people are exposed.
Well I appreciate you introducing him because I'm not going to lie I'm one of the ones that he was pissing off because it felt like his little bit of Fame was going to his head on Twitter but he does appear to be a pretty nice guy🤷♂️
Def industry plant frfr lol haha
NASCAR Reddit is toxic as hell, so it doesn't surprise me to see the comments about "the blacks." I'm a NASCAR fan since I was a kid in the 90s, but I'm also queer AF and a furry, so I quickly learned to avoid the Reddit. I just stick to furry-only motorsports groups now.
Well... Turns out I was wrong.
He *is* an "industry plant." Specifically a propagandist for Spire.
How long before everyone claims they've always loved Carson Hocevar after trashing him at Phoenix in 2023?
I thought it was odd seeing him pop into my feed because hes never been on nascar twitter before, but when he came up in the video and talked to us, i can dig it.
Welcome to NASCAR but ah, fuck the eagle 😂
I'm always glad to have more nascar fans... even if they are eagles fans too
Shit like this is exactly what the sport needs to bring it anywhere near the peak levels of the 2000's
This makes me want to say Is IcyVert The Real Deal.
I speak for a lot of people when I ask is it possible to learn this power?
My problem with this is it shows desperation out of NASCAR. I mean seriously if someone is going to get offered a free race then keep that stuff private. Having a bunch of celebrities and influencers suddenly take interest in your sport like it was with F1 looks fake. NASCAR just needs to be NASCAR to get fans and quit constantly trying to change the product. I get NASCAR is a business but it’s bad business to look desperate.
I guess the biggest problem is that NASCAR went bit too much on luring Icyvert, which I don't see a issue with. Bussiness is bussiness afterall.
Of all the 20-somethings that get free shit for making memes, why can't it be me?
I'm super excited that NASCAR gained him as a fan, and I love how genuine he is at wanting to learn more about the sport!
However, and this isn't his problem at all, the problem that I have that's related to the increased amount of eyes on the sport thanks to the Atlanta finish is that I fully expect it to be a flash in the pan. We got nothing long-term from Ross Chastain's wall ride, and I fear that the status quo of stagnant at best, dropping at worst ratings output will return within the next few races.
A young man with a following that is into the sport. Don’t see anything wrong
yeah this isn't organic lol
Cool to see that this guy seems interested in the series, but ya gotta admit all of the attention coming from industry members out of nowhere seemed so strange, mainly because I cannot recall this EVER happening before. Heck what about all those influencers that lost it when the Hail Melon went viral? I'll admit I was one of the guys that thought this was nothing more than a manufactured stunt but never felt any resentment towards him like most of the Twitter mob did. Comes with the territory I guess.
Talks like a industry plant.
Looks like a industry plant.
Smells like a industry plant.
So what could it possibly be?obviously a plant…come on man..think a little..
NASCAR struggled sooooo bad with connecting with the youth- 1 race does NOT change that.and it never will.nascar is soo out of touch with their fans it’s truly amazing.i mean come on we all saw who they wanted to have do a performance at LA clash- and then last year they had cypress hill?No other sport industry on this entire planet is soo out of touch than nascar.
That’s WHY they have things like the diversity program.
Anyways, look at the bigger picture here- nascar is moving to streaming platforms, they have already announced a few races on peacock..what’s going to happen when that race comes along?views are going to drop out the sky like a meteor.
You really think some old head that has been watching nascar is going to pay or download peacock for a race or two?you really think some kid who is interested in the sport is going to download yet ANOTHER app to their phone to watch the race?it’s a joke.nascar is trying very veryyyy hard to gain all they can before things go rock bottom.which as we can tell by the stands at most tracks- we are already skipping across rock bottom now.
I hope this is a joke, my grandfather was one of the first NASCAR drivers and died in a race and some idiot on Twitter is getting free stuff while NASCAR acts like the family doesn't exist.
Love that new people are getting into NASCAR... let's gooo!
This is great!
What’s meant to be an established brand in nascar effectively simping for a guy with 25k followers is nothing short of cringe and a bad look
Huh he’s white
So, what do I need to do to get the same amount of attention?
6:18 - oh dear, why? what have you done? 😂😭
all seriousness, glad to welcome a fellow bird team to the nest. we gotta flock together.
saying you despise the nascar reddit because they called you out for not listing sources is pretty crazy lmfao. Im sure this will be deleted like all the other comments tho. Not trying to hate, i actually fuck with you. just stop handing them reason to shit on you. Cant defend you on there forever.
What’s crazier is thinking that’s what I was talking about. Let it go.
This is wild.
nascar should reach out to twistedtoe next
Cadillac should hire Eye See Vert along with Junior MotorSpurts?❤
An interesting situation to be in to my personal opinion i am more open than most doesn't matter who they are or where they from but gatekeeping is the worst thing to happen XD but alas the nascar community is divided and will never be unified
My girlfriend got way more followers and is trending in uk when do I get a an invite or do yanks not acknowledge a global audience, I think that’s the case hence why the sport is dying
The thing is even if this guy is only a fleeting visitor so be it. If these social media influencers that get excited by 1 video and make it go viral and only .1% of their followers stick around as long term fans then that equals hundreds of thousands of new fans overall, even if the initial influencers go away after a few weeks
Hell, if he’s genuinely wanting to be a fan, then welcome tf aboard. Glad to have him.
Industry Plant. How is bro having success as an Eagles fan? Fake timeline.
Who cares my dog just became a NASCAR fan should we post it to
Its true. I got a dm from the Xfinity Series
2:43 what NWP ep is steve phelps featured in
Funny social phenomenon fs
"Dream scenario" is a bit of a stretch
Imagine getting furious because a stranger has a genuine interest in something you're passionate about.
Pathetic.
People aren’t getting furious they’re just cautious to accept him into the community without knowing his intentions.
W video
Steve Phelps is also really good for nascar in general
Definitely some industry plant who will gain a huge following and push subliminal propaganda
lol exactly. I can see this guy soon tweeting about how great the low horsepower and stage cautions are 😂
🙄
The gatekeeping from some people is insane. What happened to good morals?
as fake as xfinity 10g
Ok I would *NOT* have leaked that message from Hocevar.
Now I see why some think this guy is a "plant". Unfortunately the Hocevar DM gives that assumption some legitimacy. Hope IcyVert can prove the assumption wrong.
Also thanks for the shout out. ✌
Bro just wanna be a fan of the sport
@@Govakia99 And that's cool. My point is I hope his interest become genuine. And it appears he wants it to be. That's good.
I asked Carson for permission before I posted and he said I could!
@@IcyVerts I see. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
*Edit:* And sorry for mistakening you for Jalen Hurts. I genuinely did not know who you were, & Darian's community post preview kinda gave me the wrong idea. 😆
@@Ultimate23Dragon Why do you get so much hate fam?
That’s Sheldon Creed’s lil bro
HE'S A NERD!!!!!
