NASCAR teams come up with hashtags for championship

Once again, NASCAR is using social media like Twitter to get fans hyped for the Sprint Cup season finale in Homestead, Florida on Sunday. Richard Childress Racing is supporting the #31 team of Ryan Newman and his fans with the Twitter hashtag #b31ieve, which has carried over to other sites like Facebook. At Joe Gibbs Racing, the #11 team of Denny Hamlin posted a picture with the text "We Can, We Wi11," with the #11 logo placed within the text. Of course, NASCAR is still referring to the fanbases of the final four drivers as "Nations," as in "Hamlin Nation", "Logano Nation", "Newman Nation" and "Harvick Nation", all of which are obviously properly formatted as hashtags on Twitter. Maybe after Sunday NASCAR will take a break from hashtags until Speedweeks at Daytona in February, when they will definitely fire up again on Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites.
