Former NASCAR driver John Wes Townley was shot and killed on October 2, 2021. Reportedly, he attacked his ex-wife Laura Townley and Zachary Anderson with a hatchet at her home in the Five Points area of Athens, Georgia. Zachary Anderson shot and killed John Wes, and accidentally shot Laura, who sustained serious injuries. The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed.
John Wes Townley is the son of Tony Townley, who co-founded the Zaxby’s chain of chicken restaurants, and was the main sponsor of John Wes’ racing career. The other co-founder and CEO of Zaxby’s is Zach McLeroy and John Wes Townley was killed by a guy named Zach.
Chicken sponsors and NASCAR leads us to the film Stroker Ace. Stroker Ace is a 1983 American action comedy sport film directed by Hal Needham and starring Burt Reynolds as the eponymous Stroker Ace, a NASCAR driver. When Stroker runs afoul of his current sponsor he has to find a new one. Fried-chicken mogul Clyde Torkle convinces Stroker and his chief mechanic, Lugs Harvey, to sign up with him. Overlooking his contract by not reading its specifics, Stroker begins a new life as the commercial face for the Chicken Pit fast-food restaurants. (The slogan on Stroker’s car reads: “The Fastest Chicken in the South.”) His contract proves to stipulate that he must do personal appearances, which include dressing up in a chicken suit – feet included.
We can start by pointing out a few similarities and piling the numerical synchronicities on top. Stroker Ace is a popular race car driver from Waycross, Georgia, and a three-time champion in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series driving a #7 Ford Thunderbird. Townley is a native of Watkinsville, Georgia and after the 2012 season, Townley signed with Red Horse Racing to drive the team’s #7 Toyota in the Camping World Truck Series for 2013. Both had chicken sponsors.
