Happy Labor Day weekend everyone, lets go throwback racing

 

[Michfan]

Lady in black, best race of the year!!

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Which car does the Lady get first?

 

[DewChaser988]

RWR with the Days of Thunder throwback

 

[harkin]

Woo hoo!! Darlington!!

 

[hendrickfreak]

Loving these paint jobs

 

[Pat]

The stands are full !!!

 

[DewChaser988]

Never thought I'd ever get to see the Rainbow #24 again, after Bristol 2015

 

[Kiante]

Those 24 and 18 cars, pure feels.

The way they're yakking we may never know.

 

[ReturnTrip]

You can pick that 24 scheme out a mile away with a blindfold on.

 

[hendrickfreak]

I really like the 32 paint job

 

[ChexOrWrex]

As a Gordon fan, I seem to be instinctively drawn to that car on track only. Nostalgia for days.

 

[DewChaser988]

I love this freaking place, so glad the Southern 500 is now staying where it always was supposed to be, permanently

 

[DSquad48]

That 48 is sexy. That was a dope scheme.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

@TexasRaceLady regret to report they painted the walls

 

[Kiante]

Its simple, but very clean.

 

[hendrickfreak]

Probably going to have a pass for the lead during commercial

that is the way it used to be.........nowdays they change paint each race..you have to look at the ribbon to see how a driver is doing

The NBC special

 

[hendrickfreak]

The should have some throwback commercials too

 

[hendrickfreak]

Called it

 

[Michfan]

So who will ultimately cash in on the inevitable Larson collapse

 

[DewChaser988]

It's a pity one of these cars will crash, that's just how Darlington is

 

[hendrickfreak]

There should be some throwback commercials too

Love this race and track - bringing back the traditional Labor Day date, the throwback paint schemes and the whole throwback weekend, an old small-town track, the odd shape and rough surface....

 

[ChexOrWrex]

There should be some throwback commercials too

You mean like less of them? Yes.

 

[DewChaser988]

I am hoping next year's throwback theke is either late 90s or early 2000s, I mean just imagine, Byron running a Jeff Gordon 2001 throwback, Bowman running a Dale Jr throwback (Hopefully the Budweiser car from 2004), Jones running a Tony Stewart Home Depot throwback (hopefully 2002, 2005, or 2008), etc.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

@TexasRaceLady regret to report they painted the walls

Yeah, saw that during the pace laps.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Love that 22 paint.

 

[DewChaser988]

Love that 22 paint.

Throwin' it back to Steve Park, sucks Park's career was derailed due to horrible luck

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Derrick Cope has new tires. I mention that because otherwise you can’t tell.

Gotta love Starcom's backmarker crapboxes

 

[ReturnTrip]

12 more pitstops

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Hope Dillion can pick it up cuz I need that #3 to run with the #2 and #24.

 

[Gangrene Hockey #43]

You basically can listen to clint bowyers race scan and know what's going on throughout the field with "colorful" language. Awesome.

This scan is my new go to.

Thinking of these as throwbacks is making me feel old as hell.
