2020 Darlington Throwback Schemes

[ChexOrWrex]

Back when they raced cars straight off of the showroom floor and nobody knew anything about Aero.

Is this a joke? That fastback roofline is a design on a direct result of aerodynamic testing.

Personally I think this Rheem car looks great like this for Darlington!

Surely on the 38 of Ragan they could put the Correct Citgo logo on that hood... since it’s atleast the same brand which will be on there...

I mean at the very, very least... could they use the 2000 citgo logo and then if they MUST... put ‘CITGARD’ under it. Too good of a opportunity with the car to not do it

So many classic paint schemes to throwback to in these shots lol

Couple more angles of Kyle Busch’s ‘Sadler’ throwback...

Nah man serious as I can be. the Yellow banana was a factory Ford defect, bent down in the front and up in the rear by happenstance and Juntior Jonson was in the right place at the right time to buy it. We all know that there wasn't aero back then.

Really liking Custer’s Curtis Turner scheme.

When they just try to follow the old design and not over-clutter it, it really seems to work.

Wow... thats just bad. Just make it orange, invert the roof number colors and they’re in business. Simple stuff. But some of these sponsors are so dedicated to being “on brand” it ruins the aesthetic of this race.

I agree totally. Chex your reply is exactly what I wanted to mention but I didn’t think I should in that particular post of showing the scheme to everyone.

Tony’s Lithium car is one of my favorites from his era of driving the 20. That silver with the orange, and orange roof number worked so well.

At the very least Sport Clips should have had the roof number red, it would have given the car a much better look, I think I could live with it being red and silver as long as it was still trying to be true towards the original car it’s based on.

Every year I feel like that though. Some of these cars are just not much to hype up because the current brands don’t want to step off their own stuff even for one race.

Hell the merchandise some of the collectors swoop up and preorder would be even better if these sponsors would make the cars as true of a throwback as possible.

I guess it’s their dollar, they won’t listen to us... but yea a lot of these cars come off about as well as a wet fart

I just noticed the last shot includes cars stacked 5-wide.

You're killing me, man.

All it borrowed was the arrangement of the paint colors. If you have to tell people what paint scheme you're supposedly replicating, you missed the mark.

No, that #8 from the opening post still stinks like a dead skunk in a septic tank.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This is how its done

MBM has two of the most well-executed. Solid work.

It's crazy how smaller teams are more detail oriented.

I guess sponsors at that level are a bit more relaxed about what they want.

They put more effort in to get more attention where some of the larger sponsors seem to not see this race as any type of awareness campaign.

Love the powered blue.


I'm not really digging this one too much, but to honor his Dad has to be pretty cool. I bet it will look much better on track than these renders.

I always hate when they don't show it side by side to the original what that the 9 Gain car?

This is pathetic. Let’s throw back to a Stewart Home Depot scheme. But not incorporate orange anywhere in the scheme whatsoever.

Why even bother?

 

[JGR_20]

Well the Burton car with DEX is only one of a few where the sponsors changed up their branding and colors to make the throwback a legit throwback.
