I like the look of the car, even though it wasn't what I was expecting.

Here is the car that Spencer Gallagher is going to run at Darlington.

It's painted to look like the #23 Hawaiian Punch Pontiac that Michael Waltrip drove in 1986.

Hell yeah! Very weird to be cheering Logano, but hey, nice representing Kenny Bräck!

According to the team, it's representing Vasser's 2002 car, not Kenny's '01 car.

Difference was in the tops of the sidepods - white on Bracks, yellow on Vassers.

And none of the stock car fans will get it. I can understand for super-iconic schemes that transcend series but other than that, yea, stick to stock cars for stock car throw back schemes..

Which the car does not feature.

And though the Shell-Pennzoil merger happened in 2002, there were no Pennzoil logos on Vasser's car in 2002 as far as I see. Welp, #murica, I s'pose. Ok, a pretty half-arsed attempt at a throwback scheme, but anything that harks back to Bräck's CART days is pretty nice to have.

Wasn't the original point of needing both Shell and Pennzoil on the car was the ability to advertise Shell gasoline without technically violating Sunoco's exclusivity as official fuel sponsor?

They also made the 29 team reduce the size of the Shell logo when they sponsored Harvick.

As far as the #48 car goes, I don't know what to think of it. The white wheels look good on that car but I'm not sure about that number font.

I'm not sure about that 48... I want to like it but I want to hate it all at once.
