Speaking of SRA, go whip some rear end on-track in that Canadian Tire car; it's a fast piece. If that fails, go all WWE on Andrew Ranger instead in the paddock.

The original artwork I was shown had the normal Hillman styled 40, so I'm glad they decided to use the actual Ganassi number.

Harry J posted:Add another retro paint scheme to the mix. Late entries have been the best so far. First, Sterling. Now...yeah, Butch Leitzinger. And yet Jeff Gordon, he who is retiring, doesn't have the 2001-2008 flames ready to roll. Had they announced this idea before he said he was running the rainbow at Bristol?

Sam Hornish is running a lovely Winn-Dixie scheme, in that they made the regular car black with red/yellow numbers and called it a retro scheme.

I apologize and I hope to god I don't make this to IndyCar centric, because that is not even remotely my point with this post. This being said. I poo poo on Sirius/XM's NASCAR station quite a bit. I don't like Dave Moody, and I don't like Chocolate Meyers. I find the entire station not a good listen. You know who has and will always have my respect though? Eli Gold. I heard him today hosting a show where he had on AJ Allmendinger and Pete Pistone on to discuss what happened this weekend. The three of them came across as very classy, and respectful of what had just happened. Mr. Gold was quite modest about his knowledge of American Open Wheel, but I can tell the guy clearly understands auto racing as a whole. Not just in the small bubble of cup racing I see a lot of the Sirius/XM guys exist in. Eli Gold is a class act. I'm very glad I got to enjoy him, and Buddy calling races on TNN back in the day. tl;dr: Eli Gold is a pro's pro, and an awesome guy.

^^^ e- From reading his book, Eli seems to be extremely humble, aware of his faults, and appreciative of every opportunity he's gotten. He and Allen Bestwick had a fantastic chat on NASCAR Live last fall just before ESPN wrapped up their coverage. Boomer The Cannon posted:Sam Hornish is running a lovely Winn-Dixie scheme, in that they made the regular car black with red/yellow numbers and called it a retro scheme. Eh, at least it's "retro", unlike Jimmie/Newman/Harvick/Smoke's "Let's pretend our sponsors had a car in the 50s/60s/70s and call it a throwback!" SHR could've done a bitchin' early '80s DW Bud scheme. ...speaking of Harvick, when was the last time there WASN'T a Bud car in Sprint Cup? Had to be the early 80's.

Probably, since I think it was Kenny Bernstein that got them into racing around that time. He just pulled his hauler up to their HQ, got his funny car out and more or less went "How cool would your poo poo look on my car?"

'83 maybe? Though I don't know if I count Dallenbach's effort in 97.

I doubt Richard designed the car himself, but this is the Paul Menard of paint schemes - absolutely expressionless.
