Someone HAS to do this one. Looking through the subsequent ownership transitions from the old Tim Beverley team, Trackhouse technically holds that legacy.
Though, I think Front Row Motorsports could do a nice job replicating that scheme with their 34 or 38...
Yeah, true. That could indeed be a Trackhouse move to do one day.
And damn, looking up that history, wack. ISM Racing had the Tabasco Fiasco. ISM backed out halfway through the season and sold to Tyler Jet Motorsports, who itself had started that year after buying Darrell Waltrip's old team, gear, and equipment. Tyler Jet Motorsports continued until it was sold early in the '00 season to MB2 Motorsports. MB2 became Ginn Racing, which then merged into DEI, then Earnhard-Ganassi, then Ganassi - and now Trackhouse.
Good god the waning days of the tiny privateers in the late 90s and early 00s is a wild lineage...
This right here would be top notch. This Bodine scheme always a “side favorite,” of mine. That era/timeframe produced so many good looking cars. Especially a lot of the Pontiacs
On a related note was Dale Earnhardt's Peter Max car. He did drive the car (which had a rainbow gradient number and a tie-dye pattern all over), but he reportedly refused to wear the corresponding firesuit, allegedly for a similar reason as you mentioned.
Doubtful. But depending on what the sponsor’s logo is, they could do something with it. When I did it as a throwback in my iRacing league a few years ago, I put a silhouette of my cat on it.
Similar but not exactly. Reddick’s throwback was to Old Milwaukee 27 Tim Richmond car that had the correct sponsor.
Bowman’s throwback was to the Tim Richmond Folgers car which was mainly just red, the Schrader car has a different font and some gold at the bottom. Bubba also did a Mark Martin Folgers throwback in Xfinity.
It's only three colors, he'll find a way of fucking it up then whining about fans response to his scheme sucking again. He sure does whine a lot when fans don't like his schemes or contests he does letting fans do free labor for him instead of spying an artist to make a scheme.
We can presume the throwback race next year will be in April or May which will be weeks before The Mandalorian & Grogu comes out. Take Jeff Gordon’s Yoda car and replace Pepsi and DuPont with Axalta and replace Yoda with Grogu. HMS you can have that idea for free 🫡
I thought that was a good scheme. However I now only associate it with that dildo Tony Raines ruining Jeff Gordon’s beautiful 2007 Coke 600 car that looked to be the class of the field. Lol
a few other drivers ran that beauty down in xfinity for gibbs, i wanna say logano and busch? then yeley ran it for Hall of Fame so any of those guys possibly could 👀 i’d love to see it, that scheme is the only diecast car i’ve considered to be a “holy grail” i NEEDED to get my hands on. after years of searching and an eventual delivery to the wrong house which was sorted out amongst ourselves thankfully, she’s miiiiiiiiiiiiine
Ive never seen this before and i love it, when I was a kid and dreamed of being a nascar driver my dream sponsor was Outback since it was my favorite restaurant!
Pretty sure all 3 of yours have been done, SHR did all of Stewart's championship schemes one year (last year maybe?), pretty sure the Waltrip one was done one year and pretty sure an Xfinity team did Harvick's
A little too recent? We just had a throwback from 2015, and this one is in that same year or one year earlier, I can’t remember. This would be a sick throwback, though. The lightning just gives me the chills, it works surprisingly well!
Also while at it, an Initial D throwback on any of the Toyotas. The manga will turn 30 this year, and I find the lack of Initial D throwback scheme a disappointment.
Joey should do a throwback to his 02 car from his part time starts in 2008. It even has a 2 in the number so they can easily adjust the font and it’ll look accurate
An added bonus is if Bell runs a throwback to Tony’s 2008 scheme in the same race, since they’re both the same scheme with inverted colors. It’d be cool to see both of those cars on track together
There's some that come to mind, including some that I even have an idea on the teams that could run them.
First, Ward Burton's 2001 #5 Pillsbury car, which I think RFK could pull off pretty easily as a Kroger B2B scheme. Plus, the number 6 would look pretty cool in that font.
Next is Elton Sawyer's 1998 Lysol #98, which I think could make a good Front Row scheme, whether they get Lysol to sponsor, or they get a sponsor willing to change their logo font to fit, I think this would make a really good FRM scheme.
And lastly, we have a 2000 Truck scheme that I feel could translate decently to a Cup car, especially with the team, driver, and sponsor I have in mind...David Starr's 2000 Unified Office #35, which, if the sponsor would allow it, could make a good throwback #33 for Austin Hill with United Rentals, even if the colors were changed, the layout could work, TBH.
I know everyone knows Alan Kulwicki's Army car, but the Marines and Air Force cars are really cool too, and I can't see why they wouldn't appreciate a one-off advertising deal. The Air Force one they could still do (Bubba still has them), the Marines, Coast Guard and Army might not allow it, but the Navy might allow it as a Build Submarines sponsor.
Yes but its note to the font of the 1 used in dei. She had this and abused the font ownership for a while to spite people she does not like. But schemes are free to use as shown by the 2010 Earnhardt Chip Ganassi jamie mcmurray throwback in xfinity.
Right now I feel like Bowman. We've seen a lot of the big schemes. What's next a buckshot jones or Jeremy Mayfield throwback. Give it a lil bit. Let the fans love the racing not the schemes and colors
