Ugh, it's not that I don't like the scheme, it's just this years scheme has it beat. I like the scheme looking somewhat like the delivery trucks.

I like it better than the previous scheme however I just see a UPS car looking like one of their planes, just brown dominating the scheme rather than white.

I'm going to have to wait to see this on a real car to find out if I like it or not I guess. Hard to make out on the white background, just looks so bright with that much yellow/gold.

By my comment I was insinuating that it was hidden behind the huge watermark (which, looking closer, it's not). I'm pretty confident that Trevor will be in the 6 next season, he's just got to get approved for SS in the Cup series.

I'm betting Bayne will be in the 19 not the 6 next year and a limited schedule at that

Ragan & UPS signed together through until end of 2011... but i heard the commentators mention during practice that Roush CAN have a 5th team next season because Bayne is a rookie...
i wonder if they'll revive the 97 or 26

RPM can't afford a third team. There's no way the 19 car is coming back next season unless Trevor Bayne magically attracts a full-season sponsor.
David Ragan is signed through 2011 and will drive the 6 car all of next season.
Roush can have a limited-schedule fifth car for Trevor Bayne in 2011, much like what Hendrick did with Brad Keselowski and the 25 car in 2009.

A 5th team for limited races. NASCAR allows teams to field a 5th car for rookies; Roush Fenway did it for Todd Kluever a few years ago.
I love the new scheme, but I'm not too sure about the numbers... :-?

Yep. Half of his career top 5s came at either Daytona or Talladega (3 at Daytona, 2 in the Daytona 500). He's one of the best restrictor plate drivers in the sport. I think he's going to have a breakout season and I think he's a legitimate contender to win the 500 this year.

Josh O'Brien
01-28-2011, 04:14 PM
Ragan definitely is a good plate driver, I usually give him consideration on plate tracks for Yahoo fantasy, he'll usually get a good finish. But the way these two car break aways work now, I just dont see someone willing to line up to push him to the win.

Replace the silver with white and make it the primary scheme

i think it might look better on the side of the scheme, instead of having the UPS Freight all text... exchange the UPS text for the shield logo... it just bothers me not having the white text all inside of the brown on the scheme... maybe if you add a brown stroke to it???

Don't see it except that they use the same color DARK brown and yellow wise. Gradients off, scheme doesn't really resemble the logo if that's the point that is being made.
In fact, the airplane resembles the logo the best with the swoosh.
pdas1996
04-09-2011, 01:11 PM
Yes it does.
EDIT: Nevermind, it's not worth it. The only thing that logo and that car has in common is they both have a UPS logo, and they both have a yellow and a brown of the same color. The same argument can be made for the Package Truck, Airplane, and semi using that logic.

Lol @ the FR9 decals. Woulda made more sense to have "358 c.i." or something like that, since that's what the old cars did. But, overall it does look very nice. Likin' the old logo, too.

My guess is because Jarrett won the Cup title in 1961 and 1965, and that was the UPS logo back then.

Hope this answers your question:
The No. 6 Goes Retro
The UPS Ford will feature a classic candy apple blue base design while paying homage to Jarrett’s nickname – Gentleman Ned – along the rear quarter panel. This one-time only design will also showcase the UPS logo – as it appeared in 1965 – on the No. 6 car. The iconic shield, UPS’s third logo, represented stability and integrity, traits shared by both Ned and Dale Jarrett, and current UPS Brand Ambassador David Ragan.
“UPS enjoyed a great partnership with the Jarrett family through our sponsorship with Dale, and when this opportunity surfaced we were eager to bring this element into our racing activation program,” said Ron Rogowski, UPS vice president, sponsorship & events. “The car looks tremendous and using a retired UPS logo is something we wanted to add as a one-time deal to really do this right. David’s a great pick in the garage to honor Ned as he has such a deep appreciation and knowledge of the history of the sport and its former racers and UPS is privileged to be part of this program.”

I think it's cool they wrote FR9 as it makes more sense than a fake HP figure or a spec displacement, and is a proud effort of Ford too. :-)
pdas1996
07-14-2011, 11:36 AM
IMO, they should have put the 'movement lines' that are on Ned's 11 on the 6. Also, they could've put the HP/displacement that the FR9 runs...

HP numbers are usually confidential, so anything they put on it would be somewhat meaningless. Agree with the movement lines though.

NASCAR engines are 358 c.i., they could have just put that. But, it really doesn't matter. Still a pretty cool car.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think the #6 looks best with metallic colors, like the UPS Freight cars of the past few years. I wish the Talladega scheme would incorporate metallic colors into the scheme, because I think it would look godly.
