2021 Darlington Throwbacks

[Mike Crayne]

As a big fan of Marty Robbins I love this!

They tried doing a certain era the first couple years now they just say anything goes.

The problem with some many throwbacks now is if you have to tell me the story for me to understand it, it doesnt do much for the casual fan.

I mean at least keep throwbacks to nascar. Now we have throwbacks to someone's offroad truck, go-cart, sports car, mom's stationwagon......

I will say some of the true throwbacks this year are very well done

Just saw where the 2 is not running a throwback. Freightliners can suck the big one! I won’t be supporting them with any business....Kenworth and Peterbilt all the way.....

Yeah, I’m sure they give a crap....

I actually kind of agree here. Why does it always have to be something different as well? This throwback Austin Dillon drove is one of the best I've ever seen, run it yearly

THATS a low budget team. That truck is what ... a 1990?

Early/mid 2000s

Early/mid 2000s

those things never die esp if diesel - and Im not suprised you knew @2 Sweet ! Given your knowledge of those years of trucks

 

[jws926]

Fun fact, they used an image of the Monogram NASCAR model kit for the T-Bird

 

[Magicmiler]

It would be nice to see throwback contingency stickers appropriate to the paint scheme of the car....

The old tires are a nice touch, I wonder how old those dang things are?

Older than the oldest tire lease invoice.

Yeah they def are before they started chipping them.

Seems SHR is still holding out on the throwback for the #4 car. Everything on social shows the other 3 cars but not the #4

I'll have to find out tomorrow. I wasn't interested enough to sit through it.

I think it looks nice, but it's a poor representation of what its supposed to be

I think I read somewhere the scheme Richard had on the 29 for Kevin’s first race was supposed to be Dale’s scheme in that year’s Winston

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Maybe next year Larson can show off this underrated scheme.

Yeah he ran that before thats not what he's running

 

[Blaze]

Didn’t he win in that one also

 

[pjmolo]

YES

Game over. This wins Throwback weekend, they got the actual sponsor too.

imo. a true throwback needs to have the original sponsor in addition to the paint scheme.

Good to see Zerex got on board to give us a classic.

 

[Mike Crayne]

Best paint scheme of the weekend was the 8 car. That Marty Robbins car was beautiful.

Close but no cigar. That 43 car was perfect on the track, stuck out so well. I will say watching it in person, kept forgetting who was who haha

 

[HoneyBadger]

Guess some teams are saying "**** it" and making the Southern 500 a throwback race now.

 

[Blaze]

Good.

Hope more teams join in
