2012 Sprint Cup - #2

[Paul8]

It's the "censored" version, but I guess it still counts.

[JJohnson48]

Wtf... Plz let there be a can or something on the real scheme cause that sucks

[Bacs]

It's like a mixture of Marcos Ambrose and Jamie McMurray's paint schemes, except the designer/company went, " :cen: yeah, we really love blue!"

[ryan29]

Wow, it went from one of my favorites to complete crap!

[WG_TRG]

I like the scheme, a lot better than this years which I thought always looked cheap. Just don't know how it will look with the circular Miller logos.

[cwh81]

I actually kind of like it

[mdterrapins37]

Wtf... Plz let there be a can or something on the real scheme cause that sucks

Shocking that you can't find something good to say about a scheme. I personally don't think it looks bad at all. I'll keep my final judgement until we actually see the car with correct logos but from this it doesn't look too bad.

[Josh O'Brien]

blah. I loved the bottle scheme.

[SPuckett36]

Love it. The blue will end up being that gorgeous metallic color/style they use currently. The yellow/tan will be metallic gold possibly. Should look fantastic on track.

[pdas1996]

Yeah, that's how it was this year (with the gold/tan), because the gold is actually beer w/ bubbles.

Also: my 317th post. :D

When I first saw this scheme, I was reminded of this:

Don't know why.

[kkr4]

i like it better then this years.

[gr8eske1]

I like it too. Never have liked the "pouring" schemes

[Richard Hammond]

I always thought the cars with the actual products on the scheme was cheesy and looked just.....unappealing. Liking this a lot more.

[windsock]

Dammit, this year's scheme is one of my all-time favorites. If that is anything close to what the actual Miller Lite scheme actually looks like, I'll have a fit.

[RobbyFan]

They should honestly run this at like the All Star race, pre-season testing or something.

[Matito29]

Keep in mind that this year's kids diecast had just the gold stripe at the bottom, so there could still be some sort of alcohol-related element missing.

[Mike Lala]

Wow I love that.

[coltsfan93]

It's not that bad, but this year's scheme was better in my opinion.

[wdnewberry]

I'm leaning slightly towards disappointed from neutral. I don't love it, but I don't really hate it, either. But the use of the product in the 2011 scheme was a unique element that I liked.

[Richard Hammond]

Actually, looking at it now, it looks like there is a space for some kind of bottle/can.

[mdterrapins37]

I'm a tad bit confused....lol

[Nathan_Drake]

First diecast is the "kiddie" version.

[OverKill0421]

no change?

[gr8eske1]

no change?

Just minor ones, no Ruby Tuesday on the deck lid and on the render at least correct lights

[JR90]

I'm a tad bit confused....lol
They had to do something completely different for the censored version because they have beer pouring out on the side.

[mdterrapins37]

They had to do something completely different for the censored version because they have beer pouring out on the side.

Yeah I guess. This year they just did the trim so I figured they would keep all the components of the scheme the same for the kid version but just omit the beer. I like the scheme but I was prepared for the beer stuff on the scheme that is on the kid version.

[bman1699]

Why isn't the white pinstripe continued on the nose?

[JJohnson48]

thank god the first one isnt the actual scheme. but I dont see the point in creating a entirely new scheme for the kiddie diecast. they didnt do it for 2011 or 2010, etc

[ElvisOnFire]

Thank you for the unchanged scheme. A definite fave of mine :)

[Josh O'Brien]

Why isn't the white pinstripe continued on the nose?

I KNOW...I hate that. Otherwise I love this scheme.

[nascarartist20]

Why isn't the white pinstripe continued on the nose?

Not sure. That's one thing that's bugged me all season.

[Nextelracer]

Do you think the rear will be misaligned on the actual car.

[penskefan]

ahuh ahuh

Hopefully it looks very cool!

[mdterrapins37]

Looks pretty cool.

[gr8eske1]

Looks like it could be a sweet ride, not really anything I would have expected TBH

[Legacyofthe24]

That's funny. I saw this car about a month ago in a coporate pic from walmart. They had some photos laying in the breakroom and it had this car in one of them, just never could see the entire car. I knew i had never seen a Brad K miller lite white car before so it's good that it was an actual scheme, not a promo.

[nascarartist20]

Needs white wheels.

[gr8eske1]

Brad's patriotic scheme will be ran at Charlotte in May and Daytona in July

[David24]

Turned out alright.

How many can gimmicks do we need?

[WWEFan14]

How many can gimmicks do we need?
+1. Either drink the freakin' beer, or go sober.

[gr8eske1]

Don't really like the can pouring, would have looked better with just the Miller Lite logo on the hood

[pdas1996]

I like the stripe starting at the headlight.

[Bacs]

I like it...though looking at the stripe makes me think of the Netherlands.

[Stevie Richards]

When the beer tastes like moose piss, several.

Are you talking about different can schemes or just different can gimmicks in general?

[STEVE]

I like it. I agree that the hood would look better with the logo instead of the gimmick-can.

[ElvisOnFire]

Are you talking about different can schemes or just different can gimmicks in general?

Can gimmicks in general. Just drink the beer and quit bitchin.

[stenhousejr#1fan]

is it just me or why do u need to punch a air hole in the top of your beer can, if your really drunk youll punch the whole top out and pour it all over you, and that my friends is quite yucky :)

[mdterrapins37]

It's for shot gunning them, so you don't have to punch a hole in the side of the can. It's basically aimed towards college kids...

[Lastlap]

I thought it was because you guys could not master a slow pour. :razz:

[Matito29]

Not necessarily. I've seen many beer vendors at sporting events carry a sharp pick or something to punch a hole in the can while pouring it.

[penskefan]

Doing that should be illegal.

[David24]

Doing that should be illegal.

Alcohol should be illegal

Funniest thing I've read today.

If you boys had a drinking culture to begin with, I doubt there would be as many problems. :razz:

[00StangGT]

If you boys had a drinking culture to begin with, I doubt there would be as many problems. :razz:

I wouldn't doubt it. If we had adapted the way that Europe did things could be a whole lot better. Europeans respect alcohol and feel that if you're accustomed to it and desensitized to it then it won't be so wanted by youths. Same thing with driving. It takes so long, not to mention expensive, to get a drivers license that it turns out more people respect it. They don't view it as a "it's my right" but more of a privilege.

[Richard Hammond]

And that's the problem with it here. We just don't have respect for it, nor understand the consequences of it. I have no problem with alcohol, but we just don't seem to have a grasp of how destructive it is when we go overboard until it's too late and someone gets themselves in hot water.

I think another prohibition would be suitable now just because of how reckless a lot of people have become with it.

The Sam Adams I'm drinking right now disagrees.

I'd probably call for prohibition if I had to drink Labatt.

Retro logos are a nice touch aswell.

While I would have preferred to see Rusty's MGD scheme brought back, complete with the gold firesuit he won at Bristol with (who remembers that?), this is just as cool. I hope Brad's suit looks like Rusty's 2000 one as well.

In that first shot, I thought it was an old Taurus, but damn, it looks fit.

I would've preferred it if it was next year...I'm sure it would've been "hawt".

[nwt0]

I don't like this paint scheme: I LOVE IT! :roxs: This scheme really takes me back to my early days of following NASCAR. This car was really a staple up front back in the day. Shame we won't see a rainbow 24 car on the track this season. :sad:

[JCTay]

Same here, the body style of the COT from that angle really fits the retro scheme. Its going to be neat seeing that car back out on the track and reminding self that its not Rusty too.

Loved that firesuit. Didn't he run the black/silver/yellow scheme that night? Huge Rusty fan from back in 91. That MGD scheme is what drew me in to like Rusty.

[Nathan_Drake]

Best scheme this season!

[Icestorm]

Another great shot of this scheme. LOVE this!

I did a little research, and the scheme you're talking about was run at Rockingham of '96. But that year, the black Miller car was splashed in red and blue, and Rusty did win the Bristol Night Race that year. I don't know what year he won with the gold firesuit... it may have been 1996, but I don't think so. The car was more Miller in '96 than anything else. The MGD promotions stopped at the end of '95, so it may have been that year, because the Miller Lite began in 1997.

[Richard Hammond]

That's effing awesome....but perhaps they should've waited a year?

[nascarartist20]

Glad the actually race car has metallic blue instead of normal gloss blue like the show car and Rusty's original car.

[David24]

I wish the hood logo was bigger. I like the use of the older style logos too. It's not a "great" scheme by any means. But it's not bad.
