I like that 32 car. Looks pretty sharp. He actually had a top 10 finish at Indy last weekend didn't he?

Yeah, he survived the demolition derby at Indy. I wish they would have stayed true to the theme and used the correct number font as well.

Yeah that would of been nice. I think Penske owns the #12 so they would of had to work something out with them in order to use it. But I'm sure it would of been okay for a single race use.

I mean using the same font as Allison's #12, not the actual number.

That 21 and 43 are so badass...

Most of the other ones just seem weird because either the sponsors or the numbers are different

Allmendinger's would look good if you got rid of the black Breyer's logo. It's extremely out of place.

I totally agree Use 2 B. I especially like the 43 colors and the rich history it represents at Darlington!

When I was a pre-teen, we went to a local half-mile dirt track on Saturdays. There was a guy who raced in the semi-modified division who had a paint scheme very similar to Harry Gant's Skoal Bandit. I know we'll never see tobacco advertised again, but I always loved that scheme.

Would be even better on a Dodge, but...

I've always loved the Darlington Southern 500 races, mostly because of the throwback paint schemes.

The throwbacks I like this year is Keselowski's paying homage to Rusty Wallace, Dillon's paying homage to Earnhardt Sr., and Almirola's paint scheme.

I'm kinda disappointed with Elliott's paint scheme. The "Rainbow Warriors," or even the Pepsi paint scheme from 2001, wasn't used. Oh well.

What would be awesome if Havoline allows Larson to use their paint scheme for the race like they did when Pablo Montoya drove the #42 car?

 

[Retroram52]

Damn straight Used 2 B!!

NASCAR wishes the schemes came with throwback crowd attendance and TV ratings

I wish the #3 was goodwrench so the #2 and #3 could be the same as back when they were the 2 cars to beat for the championship.

Seeing the #2 done so well just really begs for it IMO.

The Southern 500 will be a sell out. Book it.

I went 2 years ago and not an empty seat in the house.

Watching live streaming on my computer of the race. Denny Hamlin leads Kyle Busch. The streaming is pretty cool because the audio is just the race cars without any motor-mouth commentators. A different take on a boring product.
