Iโd say itโs close! I think around this time, people compared the 8 from Hemric more to the BK Racing 83, given the drop shadow and outing perhaps. I think, personally, the DH 8, with skew, could resemble the SHR 98 more, versus the BK 83.
@ItsMichaelCarey Plz tell me Iโm not the only one who notices this, and I could be wrong/mistaken but the 8 font in the 98, looks so much like the exact 8 that RCR used for Daniel Hemricโs first few Cup starts with the Smokey Mountain Snuff sponsorship (green car btw)

The old No. 98 bothered me as well but then when they ended up modernizing it to this version, this was an *excellent* upgrade!
@ItsMichaelCarey The 39 and 98 are two of the worst looking numbers of the modern era. They look like random mis-matched fonts paired together. One has rounded traits while the other is more squared.

When Stewart-Haas Racing and Biagi-DenBeste Racing partnered in 2018 onward in the Xfinity Series, the traditional fonts for both teams were retired and the No. 98 and No. 00 received newer ones for the 2018 season. I always thought the new fonts for the No. 98 and No. 00 in

It took me way too many years to realize that MWRโs consistent base in 2007 was a slighty altered version of the Toyota Camry reveal from 2006.

One day, in my lifetime, this beautiful number style rides again ๐ค
With SVG going from the #91 to the #88 to the #97, been trying to think back on the last time one driver drove three different numbers for the same team. Closest I could recall was Chase Elliott when he went from the #25 to the #24 to the #9 for Hendrick.

All it took one a single trip to Charlotte, North Carolina to send one designer from the world of retail packaging to a race car that can carry those same brands and colors in a whole new way. Twenty-three years later, he's still at full speed and his Halloween designs are among

Another great one! It's pretty crazy to think @McDonalds has been in #NASCAR for over three decades and staying somewhat consistent on a sponsorship basis. I think if you'd ask a group who they connect the McDonald's sponsorship to the most, you'd get varying answers.
@ItsMichaelCarey You also got McDonaldโs. I mean they went from Bill Elliott #94 then CGR and now theyโre at 23XI.

I know I didn't get every driver/team but you get the idea. A LONG history in NASCAR.

Not to go wildly off topic but Valvoline is one heckuva history lesson.
@ToddBodine26Fan @ItsMichaelCarey what about the other weird one-off sponsors at yates, like citi financial, golden corral and, valvoline.

I'd take it that the Dillon 2015 design was the first of the utilization of the thin stripes across a race entry. I like how it's been different red, white and blue variations of the thin stripes. Perhaps it's a nod to their a vast majority of products being American made?
@ItsMichaelCarey oh imagine that design with the modern weather tech paint scheme colors

Discount Tire is an interesting one. Busch Series, to Cup, to Nationwide and then to Cup again.

Itโs always fun looking back on a sponsorโs journey through the sport and compare where they were and where they are today. Honestly forgot about this one - Talladega 2015!

Not many designers can say that their work knows no bounds, literally, from the racetrack to the skies. But one Seattle-based designer can. This month's @tradingpaints Artist Spotlight brings you the fearless design vision of @BLACKBEARDltd . Read more:

It's great to see the @SRXracing fleet of cars being able to live on in a new venture with GMS' acquisition of the series' physical assets.
GMS Race Cars has acquired assets from Ray Evernham Enterprises, which includes SRX race cars, equipment, and other parts. The official announcement coming later this afternoon: https://t.co/sBvlg3fCbk
