More “Pluto” in Photo Finish at NASCAR Atlanta 400
This is the first of a series of four (yes, four) posts on this race. The reason I’m paying so much attention to this is because it’s part of a gigantic riddle that traces back many decades, and some may argue, even more than a century.
- More “Pluto” in Photo Finish at NASCAR Atlanta 400
- Pixar’s “Cars” (2006) and the 2006 Demotion of Pluto

See my previous post on how this year’s Daytona 500 was all about Pluto and Dale Earnhardt.
This past weekend’s race was a continuation of the Plutonian riddle I uncovered in my work from last week. See Super Stream #69 if you missed out.
This year’s Ambetter Health 400 in Atlanta, the second race of the NASCAR season, ended with a photo finish that saw three cars finish within three thousandths of a second of one another:
If you read the YouTube comments underneath the highlight video, almost everyone points out how the finish was identical to the finish of the race shown at the opening of Pixar’s Cars, which came out in June of 2006, just two months before Pluto lost its designation as a planet. Indeed, the two cars on the outside appear to edge out the one in the middle by mere inches:
In 2006, Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet. This means instead of just a name, Pluto had to be assigned a number for its new minor planet designation. This number ended up being 134340, making its new name 134340 Pluto.
Pluto was discovered by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh.
The climax of Cars takes place in Los Angeles, California, home to protagonist Lightning McQueen.
The car in the middle at the finish for the animated film, Lightning, is voiced by actor Owen Cunningham Wilson.
The race was won by Daniel Suarez of Trackhouse Racing, who drives the # 99 car:
Clyde William Tombaugh is credited with discovering Pluto on February 18th. The Plutonian riddle is centered around Dale Earnhardt, who died in a wreck on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, which was held on February 18th.
Sunday’s victory was only the second of Suarez’s eight-year NASCAR Cup Series career.
Cars Co-director Joe Ranft died in a car crash less than a year before the film was released.
“Car Crash”
Suárez was born on the 7th of January, or 7/1:
This is the same 7/1 birthday as Lewis Hamilton, whose record-breaking career began right after the first Cars film came out:
Earnhardt died a span of 71 days before Pluto’s anniversary, and he later died in a Car crash exactly 71 years after the discovery of Pluto:
The Ambetter Health 400 had Primary date numerology of 71 and 35:
The race’s sponsor Ambetter Health has matching base gematria with Dale Earnhardt.
The race was run on the 56th day of the year, and multiplying all of the digits in the date even yields a product of 320:
For many years, the number Three in NASCAR was driven by Ralph Dale Earnhardt.
Suárez was born on a date with Primary numerology of 119, while Dale was born on the 119th day of the year:
Kyle Busch and Disney’s Pluto
The #8 car in the middle of this week’s NASCAR photo finish was Kyle Busch. The #95 car in the middle of the Disney film is Lightning McQueen, who was voiced by Owen Wilson.
Dwarf planet Pluto was discovered on a date with Primary numerology of 69:
Cars was released on June 9th, or 6/9
Dale Earnhardt is considered to be one of NASCAR’s greatests of all time, along with Richard Petty. Curiously, Richard Petty was born on same exact day Amelia Earhart died. Earnhardt…Earhart…
Disney’s Pluto made his first appearance under his new name on April 30th, or 4/30, a date with numerology of both 84 and 21:
Earnhardt, who died during the 43rd running of the Daytona 500, was born in the year ’51 on another date with 84 and 21 numerology:
