Wow I like that a lot except the side logo needs to be better, I assume it will be once the season starts but I think the design overall looks very clean.

I would assume they're going to have their usual secondary sponsors in that area

[Mike_60]

Big Improvement over this years IMO! :roxs:

[Ford81]

:roxs:

[Stevie Richards]

I don't like the dark side number

[atruebudfan]

I don't like the dark side number

I'll put money on that fact it will be changed by the time it hits the track for the spotters benefit.

Nice to see another sponsor on the 47. Cool scheme though. :dude:

What the hell is with BLab's neck?

What the hell is with BLab's neck?

Photoshop. Nuff said.

[racerfan1155]

I really dig these new schemes, I really hope that Bobby will be really competitive for JTG/Daugherty.

[Athalon]

What the hell is with BLab's neck?

Photoshop. Nuff said.

Yup. Even the collar has gotten the Photoshop treatment. It looks like someone put the suit on, they took his picture, then stuck Bobby's head on it.

[abharkl]

Here are Rain Eater Wiper Blades, Kleenex and Bushs Beans

[abharkl]

Lance, Little Debbie and Kingsford

[abharkl]

Cequent and Clorox

[Mike_60]

I like them all quite honestly! :roxs:

[ElvisOnFire]

Like the improvement over 2010's, nice and clean instead of random :tup:

[Stevie Richards]

Could there BE any more variations?

Why did you capitalize "BE"?

I like how they incorporate the "Swoosh" in the JTG logo into the designs

[codywebster29]

rain eater car is by far the best but the lance one seems to be missing something. its too plain

[OverKill0421]

I think the Lance car would look better if it had the same "swoosh" design as the Bush's/Kingsford cars

[baadte34]

What does the warning label say?

[Ryan Spaulding]

What does the warning label say?

Probably the generic "no warranty, expressed or implied" label.

[Legacyofthe24]

probably says "WARNING: don't be shocked to see a 0 in the win column of your stats". :nana:

Kroger Car to run Daytona 500

[Josh O'Brien]

Man Bobby has been a magnet for ugly flag cars lately

[ElvisOnFire]

:eek1: Why did they change the Little Debbie car to blue??? Really liking the USO car though :tup:

[Legacyofthe24]

i understand kroger likes to sponsor them in the 500 but why not save that scheme for july.

True, the only time the USO needs support is during holidays.

[Legacyofthe24]

ya'll are making it into a pissing contest. ya'll know what i'm saying. like it's disrespectful to celebrate patriotism on a holiday if you don't celebrate yr round. i'm not saying it's wrong, just out of place.

It's not exactly uncommon for sponsors to run a paint scheme like this.

http://www.pyramidracing.com/contents/media/03%20Petty%202.jpg


It's not a bad idea for the USO to sponsor a car for the Daytona 500. If they run it in Feburary they get lost in the inevitable other military and Patriotic schemes.
Being the only Patriotic sponsor in the "Great American Race" has it's advantages.

[Legacyofthe24]

yeah to me all i'm saying is that's unusual to see a special paint scheme run in the 500 especially with something of that meaning behind it ya know.

The 500 scheme reminds me of Todd Bodine's National Guard scheme from 2003, I like it :tup:

[Jonathan Patten]

:tdown: Uglyyyy choice. Dark blue with chrome wheels?

All those schemes are ugly except for the Raineater one. What ever happened to the dark blue, yellow, and white Bush Beans one? That was awesome looking!

:cen: Bobby Labonte has some ugly :cen:ing rides ever since the #18.

[Jonathan Patten]

At least I'm not slamming every single race team.

Let's not start a flame war here. :D I'm not "slamming teams" I'm just offering my opinion on the schemes. If teams hired sim paintetrs, they'd have some incredible schemes (Not really me, but others who post consistently good fictionals.

I'm a brutally honest person. If I don't like the scheme, I'll say it. I do like quite a few of this year's schemes, though!

Now, that doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. It still looks like an ARCA car to me sorta, though :P Atleast the colors of the hood logo match the colors of the scheme, that makes it okay for me :tup:

The Baked Beans is set way too big.

[Josh O'Brien]

I think the baked beans and kingsford were little debbie placeholders this week? I can kinda see a little debbie shaped logo underneath the kingsford on the hood...

EDIT: and confirmed now that he got some air time when wrecking.

[Jonathan Patten]

I think the baked beans and kingsford were little debbie placeholders this week? I can kinda see a little debbie shaped logo underneath the kingsford on the hood...

That would be correct, I believe. Little Debbie's is owned by Seventh Day Adventists, and therefore the team is required to cover their logos up from Monday-Saturday, I believe. I read that on Jayski a while back.

EDIT: Yes you are 100% right, I just saw a shot of the #47 on the race broadcast, and it has the Little Debbie's logos on it!

:bigthumb:

[Josh O'Brien]

I believe they just cover it up for Saturday. I think I read they also do it on Friday in case anyone is watching in the Far East, since it would technically be Saturday for those viewers. That seems a bit of a stretch so I'm not sure if that actually has any truth.

Maybe they wanna take up space in that area. or they have no other sponsors to put on the car so they put a big logo there instead.

whats with the grey?

theyre trying to replicate the chrome above the grille on the real car

I'm not a child. I just had one of those moments.

[gr8eske1]

surprisingly this is the only car that grille bit looks decent on, and I have no clue why

Maybe because it kind of flows with the Bush's logo on the hood?

Yeah. With the gray connecting the lights it's much better than just the shading.

[nascarartist20]

i wish they would either make it actual chrome or take that grey garbage off all together. it looks horrible.

I agree. That's not even what the chrome looks like on the street car. In fact I don't think it's supposed to replicate chrome. If so, why would the bottom decals have it? To me it looks like they have the wrong decals and that those are supposed to go on a plain white car or something.

[JJohnson48]

theyre not the only team that runs it. I believe Kryle does as well as the 66 car and a few others

I think it looks good with this teams large sponsor logos

Scheme would be awesome if those numbers were neon orange-yellow to match the Towpower text. I believe Dale Jarrett's 2007 car had neon orange-yellow numbers.

[aflac99]

I agree, but by far this is one of my favorite schemes Bobby has ran all year because of its simplistic design.
