My mistake this car raced, after Marlin DNQ at Atlanta. He got the Coors Light Sponsor.
I love finding things like this. It’s always so neat to see cars I never knew existed
Here is what I've been working on the last few days. Reworked my Kyle Petty Cars from the 1996 season!

What race was the 'reverse ' scheme from? I feel like that one wasn't particularly well thought through..... it certainly doesn't have the same POP that the normal color pattern does
Love them!
Grew up reading this, my first Nascar book I bought at 14 when I was Stateside:
(Printed '97, 2nd edition.)
Great to see the Dover protest car.
The coke 600 and the Winston! I feel most of the alternate schemes from 96 are all like this. Just random or an inverse
Here is a hidden gem most people don't know about: Todd Bodine's 1996 Miller 400 entry from the Richmond Night race. The traditional black and gold ride from David Blair Motorsports was replaced by a sponsor-less red version, with gold accents rather than the "white" stripe. It changed a week later at charlotte, back to the original scheme, replacing the black paint with the red paint from Richmond!

According to owner David Blair himself, (I've been chatting with him a bit) The red and white car was also the car they had took to Atlanta for the final race and had put Goodyear sponsorship on the car as a thank you to Goodyear for helping them out with the tire bill BUT Ron Barfield drove down into turn 1 & 2 on his second lap in practice and something broke on the suspension and he flat destroyed the car. They had to go to a backup that was the standard black and white but Barfield still DNQ'd.
Oh wow, thats a cool story! I should reach out to some of these guys eventually. Stories like that are so cool, and show a different side of the sport. Plus they make painting the cars so much more fun due to the history and story of the car!
Complete rework of the #30 Pennzoil Pontiac driven by Johnny Benson Jr. Reworked the numbers, contingencies, customized the Pennzoil logos to match their 1996 counterparts, and tweaked the yellow. Also added custom grills, tape, and matched the roof camera to the number. Same credits as the OP.
As a side note, I asked both David and Ron if they had any photos of the Goodyear car. Neither seem to have any and Ron couldn't even remember what it looked like. He just remembered wrecking it.
Back in town after a busy few weeks of visiting family. Hope to have a slew of 1996 cars done and ready soon!
Finally feeling good enough to get out of bed. Here is what I've been working on.
Here is Jeremy Mayfield's 1996 KMART Thunderbird he drove for Kranefuss-Hass, I believe the silver version was a DNQ for the finale at Atlanta. Also fully reworked the Andretti 37, and the purple version that Mayfield drove. (Same credits as the Andretti version earlier in the thread)

Tons of work you have put into this set, looking forward to the set.
