The front looks like they crossed a Camaro grill with Acura TL headlights. The rear is right off of a Hyundai, isn't it?

They threw the Camaro front end on a Malibu.

Wonderboy (24), The Dominator Five-Time/Superman (48), Smoke (14), Junior (88), Duck Cousin Carl (99), The Killer Bee Special K(17), The Biff(16), Rowdy/Wild Thing (18), and Bad Brad (2) are all a given.

EDIT: Idk about Kurt and Kasey though.

EDIT 2: I wonder if Hamlin and Kurt have nicknames.

Fix'd, were you making up nicknames there?

Don't forget Happy Harvick/The Closer.
 
I thought Brad was also special K, and Matt was "Matt the Brat"
 
That is one nice-looking livery on Dale Jr's car.
It's a bit more artistic than the plain patriotic paintjobs.


Also, TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY! :D

Ugh how can I forget about that! Damnit!! Also Matt and his team were known as the "Killer Bees" before Dewalt left. People used to call Gordon "Superman" before his paint scheme changed and they did call Johnson The Dominator up and till he won his 5th championship.

Happy Birthday scarslasher!

I hope he uses that scheme at Talladega. Hopefully I will be attending and it will be my first NASCAR race in person. :)

Talladega was great and my second ever Nascar Race last year in the Chase. We got Moss-Thornton Tower Tickets and its seriously worth investing in tower seats, such an excellent view for such a large racetrack. Also, you must get the in-car radio headsets, forgot the truck who did them but they were a blue and white truck and it was excellent value for money and exciting as with the two-car tandems and listening to driver conversations.

Get the Pit Pass too. $20 or so per person and its excellent. I even managed to buy one of Denny Hamlin's lugnuts for $1 and that is best piece of memorabilia I have of my favourite Nascar driver.

I'd also recommend Phoenix which was first ever Nascar Race back in the Spring 2010. Of course, its been repaved since for better or for worse but the atmosphere was incredible there and was a sell-out when I went. Bit of a trek to get there from the east-coast but yeah, it was excellent.

I went to Loudon(New Hampshire) and found the pit pass a rip-off there it was $100 a person and I found it almost pointless, I also didn't like the scanner headsets. With that said I still loved the race and whole experience.

Thanks for the advice. Yea I really hope we can go. It all depends on If I can get off o work and if we can find a babysitter. If I do go, I plan to splurge and go all out since it's my first race. Then I can see what I can do without. The in car headsets sound appealing and hope we can find them.

Are they going to use those smaller spoilers again at Talladega?

Why are you asking us? Do you think we're more "in the know" about NASCAR's decision making than you are?

Well I'm just asking, if their using smaller spoilers for Pack racing at Toner, wouldn't it make since for them to use them at Dega?

Jeez he was just asking an innocent question. Way to attack him.
 
I just can't stop having my mouth water over the new Ford Fusion stock car -

For those wondering, this scheme is a part of the Nascar Unites program, various drivers will be running patriotic schemes.

Links to avoid slowdowns.

16- Greg Biffle (Michigan in June)
47- Bobby Labonte (Charlotte in May)
48- Jimmie Johnson (Charlotte in May)
55- Mark Martin (Charlotte in May)
56- Martin Truex Jr. (Charlotte in May)
99- Carl Edwards (Charlotte in May)

Nationwide:
7- Danica Patrick (Daytona in July)
88- Cole Whitt (Kentucky in June)

Keselowski and Harvick are also participating but no images yet, those two along with Earnhardt are running their schemes in July at Daytona.

All this info is according to Jayski.com.

Edit: Apparently Stewart will have a special scheme as well.

Nothing will beat how patriotic Kyle Busch's paint scheme was last year at Richmond

Wonder why Jeff isn't running his own scheme, I can imagine a Red, White and Blue version, of his Dupont car.

Drive To End Hunger is a better cause but a worse design than the DuPont.
 
Jeff's sponsors seem to be very particular with how their shown on his car.

Pepsi should jump in and let him run a red, white and blue Pepsi car.

Labonte's run that 47 for a while in those colours...

They added some stars, other than that it's rather underwhelming, as is the 16's scheme.

Labonte's 500 car would have been a cooler scheme.
