Nascar Paint Schemes thru the years

[crazed 9.6]

In 2001, one of the most exciting promotional experiences in NASCAR history was held for the first time at Richmond International Raceway in Virginia.

Monte Carlo 400
Looney Tunes & Chevrolet Shootout

'The association between Chevrolet and Warner Bros enables Team Monte Carlo to call on experienced team member (the Tasmanian Devil and his Looney Tunes friends) to help the seven Team Monte Carlo drivers find the attitude needed to win what is sure to be a wild race'.

Chevrolet and Warner Bros sponsored this promotion and was mostly a treat for die cast collectors, but what a weekend for the fans too.
Only the Monte Carlo cars had this scheme.

Dale Sr also has a LooneyTunes car, but it is from before and not part of the Monte Carlo 400 Looney-Tune/Chevy Shootout races.

Jeff Gordon mainly showed the DuPont scheme in different forms, on his Chevrolet thru out his racing career.

Jeff ran some other car schemes too.
The 'Drive to End Hunger' Foundation car and the Axalta car were a couple.

Jeff also was known as one of the few drivers to have only one number thru out his carrer .. the #24
But that is not quite true. Anyone know what other number Jeff drove under ? It was not a Chevy either.




His Rookie year, he drove the #1 Baby Ruth Ford Thunderbird.
Captain has this car as an authentic 1/24 scale nascar die-cast

The #1 car also had another sponsor scheme that same year, sponsored by Carolina Ford.

I think my favorite Jeff Gordon car scheme was the 2013 Monto SS Pepsi Max painted base Flat Black or Satin Black.
I could not find a pic of this one in the flat black color, found lots in shiny black, but they just are not the same.
It's a sweet car

[crazed 9.6]

Kevin Harvick joined up with Childress in his Rookie year.
Plan was to have Harvick drive the #30 car along side then to be team-mate, Dale Earnhardt Sr.
Upon Dale's death thou, plans were changed.
His first Cup race was just shortly after Dale's passing and in the #29 Goodwrench car
Previously the # 3 car of Dale's was Goodwrench's main sponsored car. It was always Black.. while Harvick stepped into a White Goodwrench car for his first time, perhaps as homage paid :)

Harvick also ran the #29 Penzoil car.
This car was the first to be won in one of our pools. It was HotDog (aka Koolkat) , our dear lost friend who won this car.

Maybe one of my favorites ..the #4 Freaky Fast Jimmy Johns car

Richard Petty in the #43 STP car... who does not know this car ?

It seemed that no one could beat the #43 STB Dodge.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/54/4d/36544d2e1f70e0c4c0c0331a66dae800.jpg
Petty did drive a Pontiac and a Ford under his #43 too, but mostly was the Dodge/Plymouth.

And also drove without STP painted on his car.

He formerly drove the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports in 23 full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series seasons between 1993 and 2015, and served as a substitute driver for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in select races during the 2016 season.

In 2007, Gordon competed in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona for the first time. He raced the No. 10 SunTrust Pontiac-Riley for Wayne Taylor Racing.

Here are a few diecasts that have been won in the past thru our pools held at the old site.
There are some diecasts that were won but not listed, example is that I don't think I have all the diecasts included that were given out at the end of the 2016 season.
Dara and Oak and Josh were our podium winners for that year.
Dara is our standing Champion from that same year and with Oak being our previous champion.

You can see that it's not just one or two members that win., most everyone was a winner one time or another :)
There are a few missing thou and was almost everybody in the pool that won at least one diecast in a 3 year period of our pools held.

Some not mentioned here are.... Cimarron, Postman and Zalliv but they did win as well.
Zalliv was also our version of the Grand Master when it came to race day tallies and stats.
I think it was Postman who took the last two or three diecasts in a row during one season :eek:
I believe Cimarron won two diecasts thru out, but opted to throw them back in the pool for another diecast race day :)

Kyle Busch made his debut in the Nextel Cup Series in 2004, driving the No. 84 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. He entered 9 events and qualified for six events in this car in 2004.
In 2005 Hendricks put him a seat as a full-time driver in the Cup series, replacing Terry Labonte in the No. 5 Chevrolet


This scheme may look familiar ...

In a race in 2009 Kyle and his brother Kurt were battling for the win. They wrecked and neither won the race. Kurt was later quoted at saying... 'I will never eat Kelloggs again'.

In 2008 Busch jumped into the #18 for Joe Gibbs.
The M&Ms car with driver Kyle, was born.
There are quite a few versions of this M&Ms car
