The 17 and 43 nailed it, perfectly. Can we get Petty and Pearson to sub in those cars?
Any one else reminded of the old Lipstick on a Pig saying?
I did, then I found your comment. You can make a cow patty look like hamburger but the truth will come out.
I agree with both of your comments JohnQ and Richie! I have followed stock car racing since the early sixties and don’t mean to appear dense but I don’t see what “retro” about the paint schemes on more than half of the cars in the field. I got goosebumbs when Kyle P took the #21 around Darlington just now on tv, though!
Hornish’s car reminds me of Mark Martin’s Busch car about as much as Hornish’s driving reminds me of Martin’s Busch driving.
