History

Billy Oilchanger was a stock race car that lived in the United States. Around early 2000s, he competed in Piston Cup Racing Series for Octane Gain team with number 58. During his racing career, he planed to become expert commentator after his retirement, watched commentators like Darrell Cartrip and Bob Cutlass, and practicing announcing by calling the races out loud to himself during the races. Other racers usually found that distracting and a little creepy.

It's great experience, though the other drivers find it distracting and a little creepy.
