Well, I got the Labonte part right. Kind of disappointed with what they chose though.

It amazes me how lines, colors and logos are blended.

My niece's husband works for Joe Gibbs in N. Carolina. He started out working for Kelly Moore in Scarborough, ME and when Kelly retired, he immediately got an offer from Joe.

I was always a Jeff Gordon fan.......had to switch to the Gibbs' rides.

Would have been nice to have this one on the 7 car. With the 16 it looks more like a tribute to Brett Bodine than Alan Kulwicki.

When did Brett ever drive a Hooters or 16 car?

His last several years, he drove the self owned number 11 Hooters car. It wasn't the 16, but double digits nonetheless.

For the 16, the old Family Channel sponsored car driven by Ted Musgrave was a sharp looking ride.

I remember Loy Allen Jr. driving that Hooters car too. I think it was the #1 though.

I don't remember him.

I remember back in the early 2000's, my grandpa would enter me in their race pool, and I swear it seemed like every week I would get some combination of Brett Bodine, Kyle Petty, John Andretti or Derrick Cope.

I remember one I actually drew the second place qualifier at Sonoma and thought I might stand a chance to finally make the top 3 that wins, and it just so happened that Kyle Petty had the best qualifying effort of my lifetime in the Hot Wheels 44.

I especially like this one from RPM. Brings back a host of memories for me especially at Darlington. Now if we could just get that Italian idiot running Fiat/Chrysler to bring back Dodge to NASCAR...

Race starts at 6:00pm EST today. Should be a little bit exciting. I hope.

All those paint schemes on the track sure does have a "retro" feel, no pun intended. Good start and everyone is going single file because of that Darlington single lane/groove.

Jeffy Gordon is in the 88 tonight. Junior's concussion protocol has him out until 2017.
