🎨 DRIVEN TO CREATE: The Newnan Square Art Project 🚗

We are giving one of our main patio tables in front of Ace Beer Growlers a complete makeover, and we want the community to build it with us!

Instead of just one winner, we are creating a custom vinyl collage featuring the best local car artwork from kids of all ages. If your art is selected, it will be on display in one of the most highly visible spots right here on the downtown Newnan square!

✨ Slide 1 is our inspiration! Check out the incredible green BMW watercolor. This awesome piece was painted by Brandon’s daughter, Presleigh, and it’s the exact kind of creativity and local talent we want to showcase.

✨ Slide 2 is the canvas! We are redoing one of these exact tables (shown in the video) with a custom collage of your art.

Here are the ground rules:
🖌️ Authentic Art Only: Sketches, watercolors, paintings, or digital designs are all welcome. (Strictly no AI-generated artwork).
🏎️ The Theme: Cool cars!
🗳️ The Vote: Once submissions close, the community will vote on the finalists to determine which piece earns the ultimate center-stage spot on the table layout.

How to submit before July 31st:

DM your artwork directly to our page!

Email a clear photo or digital file to [email protected].

Bring physical artwork by the Driven office.

Get those pencils, paints, and iPads ready. Let’s see what you’ve got, Newnan! 💥

Who's heading to the track next weekend? 🏎️💨

Next Saturday, June 13th, the crew is heading down to Hampton for Clean Culture’s ATL Autofest at EchoPark Speedway, and we want you guys to come out and hang!

We’re loading up to go drive, support the scene, and have a good time. We'll be bringing out the LS-swapped shop 350Z to burn some rubber, and there will be opportunities for ride-alongs if you want to get in on the action.

Besides the track drifting and the massive car show, they've got a ton of other stuff lined up all day—including the burnout pit, low car limbo, exhaust battles, and 2-step competitions.

When: Saturday, June 13th | 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Where: EchoPark Speedway (Hampton, GA)

Spectator gates open at 2:00 PM. Grab your tickets at cleancultureevents.com and come kick it with us by the track.

Spotted Downtown 📍

​It never gets old walking into a spot like Ace Beer Growlers Newnan and seeing the shop gear out in the wild. We’ve put a lot of heart into this over the years, and seeing familiar faces representing Driven really hits home.

​In our 12 years of business, the best part has been the people we've met and the real friendships we've built along the way. We’re just glad to be a part of this community.

​Catch us this Saturday:

We’ll be at the Cars for a Cause show hosted by our friend Joe over at Cellular Health Newnan . It’s going to be a great morning supporting Promise Place.

​Where: Cellular Health (1605 Hwy 34 E, Newnan)
​When: Saturday, May 9th | 9 AM – 12 PM

​We might have a few extra shirts and hats stashed in the truck for friends and supporters who stop by to say hello. See you out there!

The shop is smelling a little less like gear oil and a lot more like birthday cake today! 🎂

We took a break from the lifts to celebrate two huge milestone birthdays for the crew. We’ve got Trent, who hits the big 21 in just a few days, and our very own Sean, who is officially hitting the Level 40 mark today!

We headed over to our favorite spot, Los Abuelos, to fuel up on some of the best food in town. It’s not every day you get to celebrate a 21st and a 40th at the same time. Whether they’re mastering new tech or keeping the classics on the road, these two are a massive part of what makes this shop run.

Help us wish them a huge Happy Birthday in the comments! 🥳🌮🔧

If you grew up in Atlanta, you know that 96 Rock wasn't just a radio station—it was the soundtrack of the city. 🎸🤘
From the iconic "Never Say Die" attitude to the legendary morning shows, it was the voice of generations. Whether you were cruising down Peachtree in the 70s, hitting the high school parking lot in the 90s, or stuck in that infamous Atlanta traffic, the classic "96 Rock" decal was a badge of honor on every bumper.
It didn't matter if you were into Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, or the local Georgia bands they championed—tuning into 96.1 FM made you feel like part of a massive, rock-and-roll family. It’s been years since the signal changed, but the memories of those riffs and the "96 Rock" roar are still loud and clear.
Who else still has an old 96 Rock tag or tee?

We’ve all seen it, the iconic black and orange 96 Rock license tag proudly displayed upside down on the front of a car or truck.

And chances are, you’ve probably wondered at least once, “Why is that upside down?”

As it turns out, the story behind that flipped tag, one of the most enduring symbols of Atlanta’s rock radio scene, started as a simple prank that became a badge of rebellion.

Newnan’s own Steve Mapel, who worked at 96 Rock in the early 1990s, recently helped shed light on the origin of the upside-down logo.

The story, he says, comes straight from John “Boy” Bryant, one of 96 Rock’s original DJs who helped shape the station’s voice during its early rise.

“It got started when Dick Meeder, our general manager, and Alan Sneed, our program director, decided to pay for five 96 Rock billboards to be placed around the Perimeter,” Bryant said. “To see if anyone noticed, they decided to make two of them upside down.”
