Paul Blame, driving the #49 Dollar Rent A Car Dodge for Rich Kelly Motorsports, is an original Craftsman Truck driver, having been in the series from its inception in 1995, driving the entire tenure of his truck career for RKM. He nabbed the 1998 and 2001 championships, and has 18 total wins in the series after 2001. He retired from Winston Cup competition after 1999 to focus the last years of his career on the trucks before retiring after 2002, as at the start of the season Dollar Rent A Car would move their sponsorship to Dave Markson Racing's Busch Series program with eventual champion Mark Waywood, leaving RKM without a primary sponsor at the start of the year.

Robert DePriest, driving the #80 Eureka Ford for Dave Markson Racing, was another original Craftsman Truck driver, and got picked up by Dave Markson Racing to drive for both their Cup and Truck programs in 1998. From the getgo he proved to be a pretty versatile driver. While he didn't win a lot in the Winston Cup Series (one win as of 2001, coming in his rookie year in 1998), he did run in the top 10 quite consistently. But he found great success in the first years of his career in Trucks, and as of the end of 2001 he has 13 career victories in CTS, yet is still looking for his first championship.

Billy Stenton, driver of the #92 Miller High Life Ford for Penske Racing. This being his rookie season, and partnered with a highly revered team owner in Roger Penske, Stenton is quickly looking to make waves and get to the top of the ranks in NASCAR.
I will say this is not my favorite scheme at all, but I tried a couple different things to make it look better and this revision you see here came out the best, after scaling down the size of the side associate sponsors and tweaking the colors of the hood logo. Strangely the gold bed being on top of the white sides accents pretty well, which I wasn't expecting.
I also tried having no gold accents on the front, and honestly I think that looks pretty good too. I really can't decide which one to put out.... honestly I'll just include both, so that you can decide which one you like better, or you can have them together in your roster at the same time.
EDIT I FORGOT TO ADD: Now that Stenton's truck is done, the 5 things I wanted to make for my 2001 fictional set are finished. I would make like 1 or 2 more, just because trucks are so much fun to paint, but my brain is exhausted. So, I will do pitboxes for the remaining trucks that need them, compile the bases, get screenshots, and get the set posted today.

Finally back to painting my 2003 fictional set. 2 more cars to go.
What I've finished is the #66 Wendy's Pontiac Grand Prix, driven by Derek Fitzgerald for Copeland Motorsports.
Rookie Season: 1998
Accolades: None
Now, just a little ramble, feel free to ignore, but I'm wishing I did this set having it based in 2002 on Cup2000 instead, nothing would really be much different given they would only be a year apart. Oh well.
One thing for certain is I at least want to put Scott Waywood's #08 Intel Inside car on that mod, given that's by far my favorite car I've ever painted, and Cup2000 is one of my favorite NR2003 mods. I'll have to make that a thing when I next get a kick to paint Cup00 stuff.

The #96 Tic Tac Dodge, driven by Tim Trassner for True-1 Motorsports.
I tried to paint this car some time ago but I didn't like how the first base turned out. Came back to it yesterday and I think it looks much better than what I had before.
Rookie Season: 2002

Every scheme is ready, piboxes are painted and the cars have been put into the game. Now all that's left is to compile the cars and bases, upload them to Mediafire and the set will be posted today.
