Here's a question- who will finish higher in 2016 final points, Brian Scott (the driver of said 44 car) or Danica Patrick?

Brian Scott. No contest. If Matt Crafton can finish his first Daytona 500 higher then Danica, then this is a walk in the park.
 
Brian Scott is in the 44? Wouldn't have known without the Shore Lodge sponsorship, which I now assume will be on the car at some point.
 
Here's Kyle Busch's 2016 M&M's car, which celebrates M&M's 75 year aniversary

I dig it

Daytona is possibly the worst track to use for an example though. Hell, Trevor Bayne won his first 500 and he's not much better than Danica.

Point I was making though IS how terrible Danica is, regardless of what track she is on. I wasn't saying anything about taking talent at Daytona.

So why use that as your example than?

Here are her average finished at every track, Daytona is actually one of her "better" tracks.

Because I was making fun of her. Exactly because this is one of her "Better" tracks is why I bought up Crafton. Again, I didn't say anything about the talent of winning at Daytona.

You gotta wonder if Chase Elliott even knows he is the male version of Danica. NASCAR is gonna do everything they can to shove this punk down our throat. Based on talent he is nowhere near Ryan Blaney. We've seen this before with Dillon bringing back the #3 only to be swept under the rug by Kyle Larson. Let me be the one to say Blaney wins rookie of the year. But at least the #24 wont be disgraced, looks like RPM gave up the #9

Although I don't think he's anything like Danica, I agree with you in the sense that I believe Ryan Blaney's gonna demolish Chase Elliott for the Rookie of the Year.

Eehh. I liked the other one better.

Yeah, same here. Almost looks as if they're going back to the shape of the CoT, with how round it is. I actually liked the look of the Fords beforehand, maybe they looked a bit more agressive.

Also, please tell me those red wheels are staying on the #21. I kind of like them for some reason.

Black wheels wouldn't fit the car, and white wheels are supposed to be burned :lol: Keep'em red!
 
Looks ok to me. I'd figure aerodynamics plays a huge part in a manufacturerwide switch. Looks sleek like Toyota did. The new Toyota front grew on me especially over the garbage they ran about 2010. Bet it works better than it looks.

Main problem I have with it is that it ditches the very distinguishable front end. Without the stickers, you could still tell it was a fusion (which is what I love about the Gen 6 over the COT) but with this, it's only a fusion in stickers and that's it.

Yeah I wish the would have kept the extra grill insert but sadly speed goes over looks in Racing.
