Rich Bickle Indy 2001

[Riviera71]

Does anyone know what these 2 logos are? I found a better view of one of them on another scheme but still not quite sharp enough for me to make it out.
As a sidenote I went to the old jayski site (great idea, could be very useful) in hopes of finding anything about it and said that Bickle would have a decal of 2 missing girls that originally were meant to be on the #13 (who dnq'd) on the tv panel. Went to check on youtube and the missing girls are missing again. Why is jayski lying to me and what did I ever do to him?

@Riviera71 I hate to be that guy... but did the #50 get sponsorship on the QP & Deck lid for the race??

 

[Riviera71]

Ouch, looks like it
This might join my few remaining ASA 2004 cars in not possible to paint (well)

@Riviera71 I REALLY want to say that the QP is this:

I'd definitely buy that, all of it looks very likely. Deck lid is still open, what was supposed to run on the rear panel of the #13 doesn't seem to match that well. It could be the pics of the missing girls above the phone number but there seems to be too characters of white text just for the phone number?

If I remember correctly, one I 'think' is a version of Misty Mountain Spring Water, as they were on the car before this, but I could be wrong there. Pictures I have were from the Bristol car (at least I think they are) of Rick Mast.

I also have pictures of Rick's DNQ in the #50 from the Daytona 500, when Quaker State was on the car.

Never mind, it's "Mayer Bros" something.

Archive.org FTW!

Midwest Transit Racing

That other sponsor is there too, but the images aren't big enough sadly to properly ID it.

Mayer Bros (Apple Cider) has logos on Google, so there are things to work with.

MAYER BROS
FINE BEVERAGES

This is what the logo says with the apple.

@Riviera71 I still think that's Popeyes, but the wrong logo. Looking at the logo used when they sponsored Rich in '00.

Is the trunk logo this??

or

Yup, Mayer Bros fine beverage with the apple has to be it

I found this pic of Bickle's 2001 BGN car so it's probably that version of popeyes?

On the decklid, maybe the first version could be it? On the overhead it does seem to have quite a bit of white in it and I don't see how they could transform what was supposed to be on the tv panel car on the #13 to that.

Since the final logo was on the car before Bickle it's not something he brought for one race. Looking at their list of sponsors on archive the only one I don't recognize is Praytor Animation but google doesn't find a lot about it either lol. Overall, there are very few pics of the #50 in the usual places.

Edit: forgot about Hawk Saw Blades. Doesn't look much like a saw blade though.

Don't forget about the 'year' part between the text. While it's hard to tell, it does look like it's there on said logo on the #50.

Don't think it's Praytor Animation either. They seem to have been only on the 2000 #50 (found here), and the logo looks nothing like the one we're looking for.

However, the site that that was found on, is still active, and has been constantly updated and includes an email link. You 'could' try emailing them and see if they have any idea in case it was an updated logo of theirs, as they did say they were a sponsor till the end on this page:

Winston Cup Sponsorship

You could also 'try' to send Rick Mast a tweet to see if he might remember, or has pictures still of his Pocono1 '01 car that shows what it is. He's pretty active on Twitter, and even follows me back! But I try to not abuse that trust. lol.

I finally tweeted him (first time I ever tweet something btw) but sadly he didn't know what it was Might have to leave it off.

 

[rickmastfan67]

Well, it was a thought.

Did you try the other people beside Rick?

Rich Bickle only ran one race in the car so I figured it's very unlikely he remembers. I had a quick look at facebook and twitter for the owners of the team (Hal Hicks and Mike Witter according to racing reference) but I couldn't find someone that looked like it could be them.

No, I haven't tried them yet but I'll send them an email tomorrow Chasing old logos is a lot more work than the actual painting lol

Going through this thread again I realized that I missed the part about the Daytona dnq. I would definitely be interested in those

I've finished the other paints for the #50 except that one pesky logo. I did change what was on the trunk of the Indy car, the worldbestbuy logo with a lot of white seems to have been on the 2000 car and the car in 2001 had the thin white outline like in the 2nd pic Lastlap posted. Now I'm thinking it's something like this

Here's the Daytona car. Don't remember where I got them, but it seems I've had them since 2005 per the modified date on the files.
