hello pls nascar steve/soda headcanons (busy mostly steve) like what car would he drive and wait idk if they get to choose but also what do u headcanon that steve would drive (in like the outsiders canon not the nascar au)
ily and ur ideas pls yap to me abt them /nf
HIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYAYYAYAYAYAY OKOKOK SO FIRST THE NASCAR AU!!
Nascar drivers aren't 'assigned' a number or even a sponsor on their cars; the cars are made by the sponsors and different car producers, and the number and sponsor represent the team as a whole. Personally, I'm gonna say he drives with M&M made by toyota (just because I think it's funny and he's a chocolate fiend), though that would only be if it were modern. If it were to be in the 60s, yes, he may have a sponsor, but it would only be from small local auto shops which wouldn't even put the names of their businesses on cars. We're gonna go with a modern au because it's cooler. So we have the little M&M guys on his front hood, maybe with a light blue color scheme. As for his number, we can pretty much choose anything from 0-99, How about we go with 17? It's his age in the book, and he'd have to be aged up to be in NASCAR.
As for what actual Steve would drive? Probably a ford. From reaserch, the cheapest ford car in the 60s were the Ford Falcons, so maybe one of those? Afterall, i headcanon he collected the moeny his dad gave him as an apology and from work so he'd try and get one as soon as he could and fix it up so it'd be better than what he could get. BUT, that being said, he could have just as easily bought a broken or second-hand more expensive car and done-it-up just to say he has it.

Totally normal things soda and Steve did before dating
- long lasting stares into the others eyes while he wasn’t looking
- thinking ā€œfucking god he’s hot as hellā€ and staring every time the other took off his shirt or got out of the shower
- practice kissing for girls
- one day soda came home from working all day but Steve had only been there for part of the day bc he’s a part time employee so when they got home Steve sat down and soda completely collapsed onto him and his lap and fell asleep. Steve was too embarrassed to move
- it became a secret weekly thing.
- joking about being gay with each other
- wipe oil and grease off the others face after work
- Steve would only let Soda patch up places like his chest and lower abdomen because he was most comfortable with Soda doing it
- unfortunately the same didn’t go for soda because Darry would always shove everyone out of the way and do it for him so Steve never got the chance to touch that man— I mean what

Ive been doing some research to write a Stevepop Drag Racing fic. Here’s what I’ve gathered, and what I want to put in my fic that I think people will enjoy.
Soda did rodeos but is never mentioned to have done Drag Racing, but he mentions that fighting is almost like a drag race, which means he likes watching them or has been in them. Steve on the other hand is free rein bc we know nothing about his free time— we know he likes cars so he most definitely likes watching Drag races at the very least. So, for the sake of my fic I’m going to say Steve drag races whether it’s illegally or legally. He likes to take Soda with him in Shotgun so he can show off his skills first hand and let the boy have some fun after he wasn’t allowed to participate in any rodeos anymore.
Steve took his money he made from the DX and uses it all into paying for his car. He could be using it to pay for his bills, but his thought process is that if he can get his car to be good enough to win enough drag races, he won’t need to worry about that. He’s too cocky for his own good.
Soda definitely prefers his rodeos, but he likes watching Steve have his fun. And he’s definitely not going to stop that proud smile every time Steve looks at him after finishing a race, no matter how bad or good he did. He liked sitting back in the passenger seat and feeling the rush as well. It reminded him of every time he started riding around on a horse, the speed and the excitement.

Jimmy Gray (L) & Ray Baker (R)
Tumblr media
Ahem… @broareweabouttoviberightnow …

Backstory:
James’s parents are out of the picture. Yes, they’re there but they aren’t there. His older brother was though. His older brother was his hero, and also a drag racer. He was a reckless driver when James wasn’t in the car though, and that’s how he lost his life. That’s when James lost everything, and gained such a controlling nature. that didn’t stop him from racing every day either, he raced as soon as he could get his hands on a car so he could try to live up to his brother.
Ray Baker:
basic info

Backstory:
Always one upped by his younger sister, Ray has never lived in a world where he’s good enough. Not for his parents, his friends, his teachers, anyone. You know how they say it’s better to be third place than second? Well, Ray is proof of that. Always runner up, never winning, someone’s always better than him at something. That’s why when he met Jimmy and he started to win, he stayed. Despite how mean Jimmy may be, Ray knows he’s a good person. Why else would he let such dead weight race with him?
I made these ocs for fun bc every good story needs antagonists amiright 😼, they probably won’t show up in the fic im writing, maybe mentioned, but they’re supposed to be rival racers who always are the ones to either beat Soda & Steve or come right behind them in the race. You can see what kinda dynamic I was going for with them.
Drawings I made of them:

A snippet from the drag race au fic im writing that i may or may not use:
@broareweabouttoviberightnow
As their car pulled up to the party, Steve and Soda could hear it steadily getting louder and louder, not used to the noise.
The party looked like any other high school rager. It was chilly and the stars were above them, shining as brightly as ever. The once barren field of long grass and wild-flowers now brought to life by a handful of teens and twenty-something-year-olds whooping and cheering, with a bonfire in the heart of it all, brightly lighting the trio's surroundings.
Once finding a nice spot next to the other cars, Soda rushed to get out, with Sasha following behind. They barely waited for Steve to get his shit together and get out. Walking closer to the party with Sasha leading, they were greeted with the unpleasant smell of liquor and sweat. the two not making the greatest combo. Steve visibly cringed, but Soda didn't seem to mind it.
Soda was always the one for social gatherings, people always seemed to gravitate towards him. Steve not so much, his scowl seemingly scared people off, and anyone who did stick by him came to talk with Soda. They were always visibly put off by him. Just yet another reason why he shouldn't be here. Though, the alcohol was certainly a good reason to stay.
He reminded himself he didn't need to hold back on drinks, Sasha offering to get them back to Steve's house since it was their first after party. Then Sasha would just walk a block or two home.

Posting this as I am on the train to school, but an excerpt from the Stevepop Drag Racing Au I’m writing:
Steve had a car, and when he got the car it was as normal as any other car in the market. He got it for a nice price and was able to persuade the guy and make him bump it down a bit. When he first got the car it was his pride and joy, that was his prized possession.
He got his job at the DX just to pay for that car, just to say he had a car to drive around and pick up girls in. As soon as he earned enough money he bought it, emptying his bank account right back down to zero. He looked damn cool in that car and no one could have convinced him otherwise when he first got it.
One day he drove Soda out to the country with him, a place where the speed limit didn’t really exist. The road went on for miles and they were out for hours. Steve spent all day driving Soda around, bringing him to random rest stops and diners they found alongside the side of the road.
The sun was beaming down on them as they walked back out to the car, ready to go home after getting enough food to satisfy them for lunch and dinner, even some leftovers for when evening time came. That was when Soda had the bright idea, to go as fast as they could. They had only noticeably passed one or two cars on their way here, and they hadn’t been behind anyone the entire way to the country.
Steve took it as a personal challenge, going as fast as he could on the empty country roads. They had the windows rolled down, Soda had his head hanging out of the window almost as if he were a dog just enjoying the wind in his face. They had the time of their lives out in the country, and as soon as they saw a car in front of them they stopped.
The sun was setting behind them and they were still on the road when Soda said, ā€œGod, wouldn’t it be fun doing that the rest of our lives, huh?ā€ The blonde boy adjusted his cap, tightening it on his head. Steve nodded, his mouth sore from smiling.
ā€œHell yeah, it would be.ā€
Since they’d gotten home that day, a year ago, he’d been fixing up his car to make it go as fast as he could. He hadn’t gotten the chance to take Soda back out to the country despite how much he wanted to. The Curtis’s parents died a couple of months after they went out to the country, and Darry’s been too nervous to let either of his brothers in longer car rides like that ever since.
If he ever got the chance to take Soda out again he would make sure to impress Soda with his car’s speed, even though he knew he’d been fixing it up. But he’d make sure Soda knew how fast he could go, he’d do anything to see that smile back on his face. The smile that's been gone ever since his best friend’s parents died.
Ahem…. @broareweabouttoviberightnow
