That is a Toyota Tundra TRD Pro..needs a longer name.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Move the damn numbers back for the throwback race.

Don’t ever remember folks complaining when folks use to run throwbacks of cars with numbers not in the center and the throwback had it in the center. Guess then it was okay not to be “authentic”

He's wants back we'll give him back

One day in the future they will go back to re-center the numbers, then they will start doing throwback/throwbacks also known as TB2.0. that will copy today's most popular paint schemes and numbers

But the next big thing to happen with the race car numbers will be the conversion to barcodes to express the race car numbers.

 

[StandOnIt]

and then the clown car will show up, they will pile out, honking and squeaking and say put those numbers back in front where they belong.

That Suarez Quaker State car is really good

Thought the Quaker State car was a throwback to the King...Steve Kinser.

 

[Revman]

I can't stand the throwback thing. So forced. Who is NASCAR trying to attract with all of that?

It's about celebrating the history of the sport...but since for you that goes back to 2007...

Careful when you assume....ya know, the first three letters and everything. I get that, and this history should be celebrated, but some of the cars are such a stretch....and then the booth guys dress up like idiots. Something cool turns into a clown show.

 

[sdj]

Move the damn numbers back for the throwback race.

For goodness sake, does anything Nascar does, ever make you happy?

 

[HoneyBadger]

Let the teams put the numbers wherever they want to for this race. Front, middle, back, quarter panel, whatever looks more authentic.

If Rick Hendrick wants to throw back to Tim Richmond with Alex Bowman (or is it Josh Berry now), let him change to car number 25 for this race too.

Get off my lawn!

 

[sdj]

Get off my lawn!

Nope

 

[wi_racefan]

Move the damn numbers back for the throwback race.

It would go a long ways

 

[hmmm298]

Get off my lawn!

That cloud isn’t hurting anything.

that scheme is absolutely timeless.

I mean sure, why not. Doesn’t change that my original statement is true. No one complained back then.

I think the main thing is that owner points are tied to the car number. That’s why Harvick is doing it at the All Star race where there are no points.

Hey, we’re only a couple of years away from teams throwing it back to Red Bull Racing.

I mean Red Bull schemes were great in NASCAR

 

[aunty dive]

The whole thing was a scheme.

 

[Marcingak]

It's not a throwback when the sponsor is completely different.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Scheme, scam, whatever.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's not a throwback when the sponsor is completely different.

Very few sponsors from 15 or 20 years ago are still active.

The committee for correct number placement

Then maybe we should be present as they say.

For years, the old ASA series put on some of the best short track racing in the world.
Featuring legends like Trickle Senneker, Eddy, Martin, Shear, Miller, Kulwicki. Wallace and far too many others to mention.

Then they got greedy and disrespected all the decent conventions. So many working functions were disrupted simply by moving the positioning of the car numbers.

It forced Martin, Wallace and Kulwucki to prematurely move south and start running cup races. Trickle held on as long as he could, but he had to go the cup series in his twilight years. Others just retired.

The best racing has always happened with the numbers naturally centered on the doors.
The perverted number postion will kill Nascar before it is over.

 

[StandOnIt]

I'm frankly surprised that a deathbedder hasn't proven that moving the numbers forward has tanked the ratings and attendance and that Nascar needs to do something about it.

This kind of pain is deep and it is hard to talk about. Many counselors have advised the ones with eyes to see that it is to late anyway and to accept a Hospice type of approach and try to just die peacefully.

Centered Door Numbers passed away in February 2022 after a months-long struggle with bureaucracy. In lieu of flowers, NASCAR has asked those wishing to honor CDN by making donations to the 'Get a Life Foundation'. Your contributions will assist suffering race fans in removing their panties from their butt cracks.

I could not agree any more. I remember the life before they started messing with the numbers.
It was a good life back in the day and it helped all through the week. I remember when I would tell the misses that if she would dress up like Teresa during the races that I would dress up like Dale and so forth.....
....before they moved the numbers
