Talladega throwbacks

Darlington throwbacks

Chase Elliott (Alan Kulwicki throwback)


Joey Logano (Mario Andretti's first F1 win at the 1971 South African GP)


Alex Bowman (Crew chief Greg Ives' late model)

Josh Billicki (Lennie Pond's 1979 Daytona 500 scheme)



Justin Allgaier (Dale Earnhardt's 2000 Daytona 500 scheme)


Josh Berry (Dale Jr's 2001 Pepsi 400 scheme)


Brandon Gdovic (Kyle Petty's 1997 Cup scheme)


Tommy Joe Martins (Rich Bickle's 1999 Cup scheme)


Jade Buford (Dan Gurney's 1970 Trans-Am scheme)

Josh Billicki easily wins best retro, for actually having the right sponsor, number and even some other throwback decals. The 48 being sponsored by Hot Wheels but the 26 running the Hot Wheels throwback scheme with some mobile reseller sponsor is just a little confusing.

I don't remember another team doing a Jason Leffler throwback until now.

Some really strong stuff in here.

Ryan Blaney (2010-11 Super Late Model)

More Darlington throwbacks.

Erik Jones with a 1999 John Andretti throwback.



Hailie Deegan running the paint scheme of the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona winning Ford GT40.



Daniel Hemric with a Red Farmer paint scheme.



Colby Howard is honoring his father Rodney with a throwback to his father's late model.



Anthony Alfredo with a 1985 Alan Kulwicki Hardee's throwback.



Michael McDowell is running Bill Elliott's 1985 paint scheme.



Cory Roper is honoring Bobby Hamilton by running his 2005 Tech Net paint scheme.



AJ Allmendinger is running a car painted like his 2014 Watkins Glen winning car.



Ross Chastain is running Hut Stricklin's 1993 McDonald's colors.



Starcom Racing with a John Andretti tribute of their own, this one based on his 1997 RCA Ford.



Spencer Boyd's Jack Sprague throwback to his Con-Way Freight Toyota.



Live Fast Motorsports is going with a Joe Weatherly tribute. This car is based of his 1963 Darlington winning paint scheme, which ended up being his final win.

I like how the lower-budget teams consistently put out some of the best throwbacks year after year.

Kris Wright (Kevin Harvick - 2003-05)

Erik Darnell returns to the Trucks this weekend in his 2007-08 Northern Tool scheme:

Stewart Friesen (Tim Richmond - 1986)

I feel like chastain's throwback needs the thin white box on the hood to be a throwback otherwise it just looks like the regular scheme with new numbers
Love the RCA throwback

Austin Wayne Self (Tony Raines - 1998)


Carson Hocevar (Johnny Benson - 2002-03 Cup)

I'm glad that Jeremy Clements and Brandon Brown didn't use the same UPS scheme or else that would have been very confusing.

Glad to see RCR put some real effort into both of their cup paint schemes. Both of their cars look good.

Here's another one.

Alex Labbe doing a throwback to the #8 Red Dog Ford that Kenny Wallace drove from 1994-1996.

Corey Lajoie (Alan Kulwicki - 1989-90)


Joe Graf Jr. ("Back to The Future" DeLorean)

J.J. Yeley (Matt Kenseth - 2012 Cup)

B.J McLeod (Ken Schrader - 1985 Cup)

I wasn't expecting the #07 team to go that route with their paint scheme. It's not a bad looking car, to be honest.

Bayley Currey (Mike Stefanik - 1999)

Wins.
