Those numbers look familiarly like Kerry Madsen's Sprintcar numbers.

I like the first scheme, but you could've taken those Edwards numbers and put them on the Daytona 90 car...

Other then the Impala logo in the wrong place and upside down Foglamp decals, Fairly decent car. Is it wrong that I didn't know Doug Stringer's team was still around?

Look at the paint scheme from Iowa. Notice who is sponsoring the car. For those of you who don't know who that is, he won the first season of Survivor, then went to jail for not paying his taxes.

Would you be reffering to Richard Hatch?(I think that's his name). He's actually in a Commercial for some Tax company. As for the cars, don't see anything wrong with the first one, again decent car.

Mother of Invention wrote:I got some new Additions

Got an interesting story about this car. The guy who drives it is Brett Hudson. He's been running in ARCA since 2005. He's attempted 30 races, and made 29 of them. His family runs some kind of small business, which helps get him funding. Whenever he races, he sort of takes over the team he's driving for for a week, which includes running these kind of paint schemes. (Check out the links below.) He has pretty good runs though, with 3 top 5s, 12 top 10s, and a pole.

Not much, but it's just the perfect matching of fail. Perennial F1 backmarker and Russian car manufacturer Marussia (which doesn't even sell cars in the US) partnering with Carter 2 Motorsports (which at one point this season had RON PAUL 2012 all over their cars) and to top it off, they had Englishman Jack Clarke in the car. All of this in ARCA of all places. I could have seen it happening in some European series, but ARCA?! xD

To each of the above:

1 - Never noticed that before. I did, however, notice the roof number is upside-down.

2 - Mismatched numbers, and Charger rear windows on what is supposed to be a Fusion.

3 - Fusion headlights on what is supposed to be a Charger.

4 - Holy fluorescent tape numbers.

5 - See #2 on the mismatched numbers. And older-style Monte Carlo headlight decals.

6 - Holy fluorescent drop-shadow over a contingency sticker. Shocked

This. Like I said, almost every one of those cars shouldn't be close to being HoS-worthy. Let's look at what we've posted and compare them to yours. We put up cars with missing roof numbers, with Dodge manu backing on a Toyota, hell, about 1/2 of Wayne Peterson's photo album. You put up underfunded cars that have next to nothing out of place and say that those fit with the rest? I don't think so, ~~Tim~~ Pyrozooka.
