Winston Cup logo 'font'

[rickmastfan67]

Does anybody happen to know the exact font that they used for the logo? I would love to recreate the 'long' style of the logo from 2000/2001 in vector format, but the lowercase 'e' & 'r' are throwing me off on finding a match.

Appreciate the suggestion @Rollo75, but most of the lower case letters are way off sadly, especially the 't' & 's'.

I found this https://typography.guru/forums/forum/43-font-identification/ font forum while I was looking for the World Challenge for the #17, they might be able to help? Other than that it would be the dafont forum but it seems slow.

I'll try making a post there and see if I can get lucky. Thanks for the link.

Weird that the search results didn't pull up that thread. Thanks!

EDIT: Hmm, after comparing the lettering with the font, it might still not be 'just' right. The capital 'S' & 'C' isn't the same on the serifs, and it's kinda weird that the 'C' in 'NASCAR' doesn't have the bottom serif, while the one in 'Cup' does. Also the lower case 't' isn't the correct style either sadly. The hunt continues sadly.
