stumpygremlin Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I wish the flames would go away. They're so tacky. The only one that I can understand it with is the Liberty scheme, since they are the Liberty Flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, flames (and before that, the rainbow) are Jeff Gordon's thing, let Byron have his own identity Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart.

Like, I'd like to see Austin Dillon's "3" look different from Earnhardt's "3", or Byron's "24" different from Gordon's "24", or Bowman's "48" look different from Johnson's "48", Bell's "20" look different from Stewart's "20", Jones's "43" look different from Petty's "43", etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you change a successful brand? That's like the Yankees going away from pinstripes because Babe Ruth isn't on the team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just stating that I wish teams would change number fonts if a driver becomes legendary in a particular one. It's a wish. Nothing I know will ever happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky1324 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Couple new schemes were revealed over the past few days: Kaulig's 16 car returns to an "all-star" car after a disappointing year for AJ Allmendinger, who will drive the 16 full-time in Xfinity. Celsius has a new scheme which will debut at Daytona. Meanwhile, DeWalt will sport a slightly new look on Christopher Bell's 20 car. Stewart-Haas has unveiled a couple new schemes as well. "Cold Custard" will become real as Andy's Frozen Custard will sponsor the 00 Xfinity car for three races. We got our first Cup scheme from SHR as well. SunnyD will stick around on the 4 to sponsor the new driver, Josh Berry. Life isn't all sunny for SHR as they lost 8(!) sponsors in the offseason: Busch Light (to Ross Chastain), Gearwrench, Go Bowling, Hunt Brothers Pizza (to Joey Logano), Magical Vacational Planner, Pristine Auction, Rheem (continuing to sponsor Christopher Bell), and Smithfield. We also got Austin Dillon's new Bass Pro Shops No. 3, continuing the olive green, orange, and camo look first seen last year. 2 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabig93 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 NASCAR really needs to bring the door numbers on the Cup Cars back to their right location again. It looks so dumb to have the numbers almost at the front wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so dumb to have the numbers almost at the front wheels. I’m ok with the new number placement especially since sponsors stated learning how to fill that space better. There really is no reason for the numbers to be in the middle other than tradition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to bring it back. The liverys just don't look like NASCAR anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
