NASCAR’s Undead No. 98 – Courtesy of Provident Metals

Zombies have a lot more horsepower thanks to NASCAR’s Josh Wise and Provident Metals.

That’s because the No. 98 car will feature an undead design at the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol on Aug. 23 – a Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse themed ride.

Rusted diamond plate armor stretches across the top of the vehicle to give it a heavy duty apocalyptic feel. Diamond plate also runs along the base of the car in green to complete the ominous look.

Murk Diem — the latest release from Provident Metals in the Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse series — demands attention on the hood, alongside the name of the series and the now customary biohazard symbol.

The proof silver Zombucks Walker and Zombuff also make appearances toward the rear panel, with Provident’s motto “The People’s Bullion Dealer” and a biohazard symbol covering the back of the car. A Provident Metals logo is stamped on the deck lid.

Provident Metals decided to add the Dogecoin logo to the design to show our appreciation.  The popular cryptocurrency is a former sponsor of Phil Parsons Racing and Wise, and paved the way for Provident’s sponsorship with the young team.

Provident Metals will begin accepting Dogecoin, Bitcoin and Litecoin as payment for all products as soon as Aug. 25.

Wise will race with Provident Metals as the primary sponsor for four races through November.
