You think his friends call him that? I doubt it...
Everybody called Lawrence Peter Berra "Yogi".... he & his teammates in the minors were watching a newsreel (back in the day!) at the movies & a Hindu Yogi came on & they all thought he looked like Berra. The name stuck
"Hey Nightmare, hand me that 3/8 socket"????? Can't see it....

You think Majority of the drivers refer anyone to their nicknames? That's just a stretch. Yo Big Cat, did you see how Double Down did in his qualifying run at "Get Your Ass To Kokomo." He timed in so close to QUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIICK TIIIIIIIIME. And how about Wild Child's Child blowing his tire after contact with Madman. No not winged Madman, nonwing Madman. Pretty sure everyone is on a first name basis on the tour.

To add a few that I didn't see-
Fast Freddie Rahmer
Dynamite Mark Dobmeier
Lady Lightning Paige Polyak
The Gas Man Jack Dover
The Flying Fossil Danny Wood
Donny Schatz used to be called The Kid when he first started racing sprint cars. Also wondering if any can explain how Gio got the nickname Hot Sauce.
