    Dogecoin Is Officially Going To NASCAR In This Pimped-Out Dogemobile

    So fast. Much vroom. Wow.

    Yep, it's true. The internet's Dogecoin community raised 60 million Doge ($55,000 USD) to fund this fully-pimped, Doge-flavoured race car.

    The car is called the 'Moonrocket' and it will be competing at the Talladega Superspeedway on 4 May 2014.

    Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin and the famous “doge” meme featuring a placid yet baffled Shiba Inu.

    The community that formed around Dogecoin previously raised funds for a Jamaican Olympic bobsleigh team, as well as sustainability projects in Kenya.

    Professional NASCAR driver Josh Wise, who will be racing the Dogecar, started an Ask Me Anything thread on Reddit, where most of the Dogecoin contributions originated.

    Here are some very important questions he was asked.

    So what's next for Dogecoin? Well, the detailing on the back of the car includes a hint.

    Wow.
