Dennis Setzer's 89 McRib Ford from 1998. Setzer made a one-off start for Elliott Marino Racing at the DieHard 500, where he finished19th.
Benjamin Pederson's 88 Sexton Properties Dallara/Chevy from the 2023 IndyCar season. The use of 88 was intended to honor A.J. Foyt's 88th birthday, but was changed to 55 due to the numbers 14 & 88 being associated with the highly controversial "Fourteen Words" slogan.
Dale Jarrett - 1999 (The Winston)
I think that might be 1988, possible '87. There are a lot of cars there that didn't run in 1989.
It's 1988. The 43 has the red stripes on the hood and roof and the 7 toward the back is the older style Thunderbird that was replaced in 89. I swapped out the picture at the last minute and forgot to change the year and also the driver isn't right.
