Throwback Weekend has run its course - between moving to the spring and the number placement.

I really like that Dale Sr. throwback, can't wait to see it @ the track.

It looks good, but half assed. They couldn't even get the number right (color).

IMO if you're going to do a proper throwback, do it right or don't do it at all. Although it's pretty much impossible to do it right, thanks to the stupid number placement we have now

Curious, did Nascar outlaw contingency deacals off the new IROC cars they drive today?

Do any of ya post anything but a bunch of whining complaints?

For once I actually agree with you somewhat. I’ll admit, I do wish the number color was right on the 3 car, but it still looks really good regardless. Even if the numbers aren’t exactly in the place they use to be, which I point out every year since, they were in fact throwbacks before where the number in the original paint scheme wasn’t centered, and I don’t remember folks complaining about that. It’s just another excuse for them to hate the number placement, which doesn’t hurt the on track product at all

They got rid of those as far back as the beginning of COVID, with the Gen 6, to allow teams to sell that space to sponsors. NASCAR, in turn, gave the contingency sponsors digital assets. Now that space is obviously mostly reserved for the number placement.

Well I for once am glad somebody else started the throwback thread. We need more posters and less whiners that take cheap shots at everything that is posted.

Complaining about complainers. Lolz

The throwback weekend is the best of all of the Nascar races.

I usually dislike Hendrick paint schemes, but that Terry Labonte throwback looks sweet.

Don't forget the hats.

I love how they styled the font, especially the 'H'.

Hey Revman, take a look at those louvers will ya. Those look like chain gang specials to me. I see Chadley in one of the pictures.

It's amazing how North Wilkesboro last year turned out to be a spontaneously occurring throwback weekend. It seemed like a large number of the competitors and fans took it back to another time without any hype. Everyone just knew what the moment meant and showed up to celebrate a bygone era.

Wilkesboro is a blast from the past in so many ways.

When I walked into that place, I was just overwhelmed with the feeling of nostalgia and history.

If the throwback gimmick continues, it should be at Wilkesboro.

It is still good to be on the right side of the grass.

I am waiting for confirmation, but the latest rumor is that Denny Hamlin will do a self-throwback to honor himself at an earlier time during his career.

Denny-Time all the Time.
