huh. I didn't think he drove that scheme beyond the Winston Open

The coke 600 car I can’t quite fine a picture of the rear end, but I was able to find one on the remastered Tyson Holly Farms 400 remaster on YouTube. So the one I’ll have for sure will be that one. If I can find a good clear shot of the deck lid and logos on the rear, I’ll add that one too

I know we don't put much faith in diecasts, but the car has the 50th logo on the deck lid.

If it helps, Brett Bodine crashed in qualifying for the Coca Cola 600. The crash was televised and was right in front of the cameras in T3/T4. Of course, the decklid might have changed on his backup car. EDIT: it looks like you have to click through to youtube to view it

So Owens-Corning.

Now the challenge would be to find the correct Pink Panther.

I was curious and did a quick ebay search, and it looks like there are some Mike Skinner Lowe's decal sheets with that pink panther logo. Here is one:

Here is Harry Ranier's Ford Thunderbird entry for the 1996 NAPA 500 at Atlanta Motorspeedway. Interesting fact, Tony Stewart was originally scheduled to drive this car, but backed out, so Ranier has Elton Sawyer fill in.

Additional fun fact, the Hardees Sponsorship this team had with Greg Sacks in 1997 was also intended to be a full time deal with Stewart. But after the back out they pulled it back to I think it was supposed to be 7 races then the movie Steel Chariots got involved and the team and Hardees extended through filming of the movie.
(It's not a particularly good movie)

Love the #20. I remember the ID challenge.

 

[Majesticexpress]

Alright my friends, I need some help hunting down some logo identifications. I need help identifying the front headlight logo, the logos behind the number and the c-pillar. Ive been staring at these for over a year now. Any ideas?

 

[Majesticexpress]

Got a great start thanks to @psugorilla for the mean green logos. Just need those random sponsors and were set!

 

[mtblillie]

The logo on the headlight looks a lot like the Bojangle's logo. I think the word below it is factory, I have heard Bojangle's sometimes called a biscuit factory, but I couldn't find anything specific on it. My best guess on the big logo behind the wheel is a 'Hoosier Rental', of which there are two companies in Indiana with that name (which may or may not be related). But neither company had a logo like this.

 

[Majesticexpress]

Anyone have an ID on these logos on the c-pillars?

 

[Lastlap]

It's a better photo, but still not close enough to ID it... yet.

Maybe email asking for better photos?

 

[psugorilla]

I actually did email them. I haven't gotten a response yet.
That logo almost looks like it says "Craig's" or something like that

 

[Majesticexpress]

here is the 97 version. The C-pIllar logo looks a bit clearer here

 

[psugorilla]

The logo on the 97 car is different from the 96 car. Might be the same company but the 97 car says CCH while the 96 car is spelled out. Almost looks like Craig or Christy
This image is on the 1995 Daytona var with WCW. Looks like the same as the red 97 car. Maybe Specialty Welders?

 

[Majesticexpress]

Here is the stable of cars ran for Jim Wilson in 1996. Billy Standridge ran the backup Tristar 19 car re-numbered to the 78 at the 1996 Napa 500 season finale, and the red Diamond Rio/Hanes scheme a few time before, which is basically the 1997 version with the 1996 sponsor lineup. Randy MacDonald appeared in a few races DNQ for majority of his attempts. All 4 will be in the set! Had to scour through hour of race footage to find the Standridge cars, so after coming through grainy film and footage, these are very accurate replicas minus a logo or two here and there.

Huge s/o to Slippy for his Diamond Rio logo. Numbers and other logos are all custom built
