* FanficFuel:
** What sort of mission was Flyer on when he nearly died? And who owned the chemical plant that his squadron was sent to bomb?
** Any given episode features at least half a dozen racers in the background who are never named. Each one is a potential OriginalCharacter.
* HarsherInHindsight: Mark "Charger" [=McCutchen=], who's not-so-subtly [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed based on]] Dale Earnhardt Jr., is said to have [[DisappearedDad lost his father]] Junior [=McCutchen=] (who was also a famous NASCAR driver) in a horrific airplane crash sometime before the events of the show. In RealLife, Earnhardt's father Dale Earnhardt Sr. was killed in an infamous crash at the Daytona 500 the year after the series began (and it was even seen on Fox, to boot!).
* HilariousInHindsight: A NASCAR-themed cartoon airing on Creator/{{FOX}} wound up ending its run just over a month after FOX began carrying NASCAR coverage[[note]]with the debut race on FOX being the aforementioned Daytona 500 marred by Dale Earnhardt's death[[/note]]
* NarmCharm: Yes, it's a sci-fi series about futuristic race car drivers, which doubles as a NASCAR advertisement. Yes, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds. But it's presented with enough heart and earnestness that it's actually pretty charming if you're in the right mindset.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Flyer is [[Series/TwentyFour Curtis Manning]] and [[Series/{{Continuum}} Travis Verta]].
