Photos: NASCAR throwback paint schemes on display at Darlington Raceway
DARLINGTON, S.C. (WGHP) —The NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear 400 will race in Darlington with a variety of new looks amongst the race teams amid throwback weekend, celebrating NASCAR Roots.
Some of the looks celebrate team colors, like Hendrick Motorsports with all of its cars throwing back to a previous generation of Hendrick cars.
Other cars throwback to the drivers’ roots and what they raced early in their career, like the No. 4 car driven by Josh Berry that looks like a late model he drove, including the same sponsor.
A few teams chose to be cheeky. The No. 71 team, with rookie driver Carson Hocevar, is running a vintage patrol car look. The red flashing light on the roof was removed for the race.
One of the cars, Justin Haley’s No. 51, is a memorial to the officers killed in the shootout in Charlotte. It sports stickers honoring those fallen officers.
