Last month, Reddit users were able to raise enough of the digital currency (about $55,000 worth) to sponsor Josh Wise's No. 98 Phil Parsons Racing Ford for this weekend's Aaron's 499 Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway.

Enthusiasts of parody crypto-currency Dogecoin are taking it to the next level, sponsoring up and coming unsigned NASCAR driver Josh Wise. The design isn't finalized, and you can send your own submissions to this Reddit thread here, if you truly believe in the dream of seeing a ridiculous Shiba Inu on a car on national television.
As of Sunday, it was announced that the Jamaican bobsled team has qualified for the 2014 olympics and Cool Runnings fans could not be happier.
The forces of the internet are coming together to raise money in Dogecoin form to support the team. According to the original Dogecoin enthusiast Reddit post, the Dogecoins raised have been converted to into Bitcoins which are then exchanged for dollars and then sent to the Jamaican team.
The last time the Jamaican bobsled team has qualified for the Winter Olympics was in 2002. So rhythm. Much ride. Very bobsled time.
