Ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series’ Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday, teams and their drivers are revealing their old-school paint schemes, which are part of the throwback tradition of this race weekend.
It’s a chance for drivers to celebrate their own racing roots, honor previous drivers of their cars or pay tribute to legends of the sport. And while several teams have some great looks for their cars this weekend, it’s likely none will top the duo of Trackhouse Racing’s two cars, driven by Ross Chastain and Daniel Suárez.
For their throwback paint schemes, Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet and Suárez’s No. 99 Chevrolet, with the help of sponsor Coca-Cola, will celebrate Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr. with an homage to the cars the father-son duo raced at an exhibition event at Japan’s Twin Ring Motegi on November 22, 1998. Though it was an exhibition race, it was the first time Earnhardt Sr. and Earnhardt Jr. competed in Cup cars against each other.
