Drivers Throwback Wraps
What drivers are doing a throwback wrap besides Lucas Oil regulars?
Post the pics here for the rest if us if you know of one that's been posted besides JD's DuVall call.

Itd be awesome to see a lot of retired drivers honored. John Mason. Charlie Swartz. Donnie Moran. Freddy Smith. Danny Dean. Bob Wearing. Buck Simmons. Bob Pierce. Mike Balzano. Butch or Bart Hartman.

I remember at Eldora Hunt offered $1000.00 to anyone who could run behind Earl in his water truck for one lap without falling... one guy took him up and won the cash...

If anyone saw the Steve Shaver and Mike Balzano throwbacks this past spring that ran at (i believe) Skyline Speedway in a special race, they were impressive! Wish the bodies were still around to run again!

I don't think so. It's normally recorded and shown on MAV during the winter. I know last year it was shown on Lucas tv, it's not on either of those schedules yet though.

You would think they would show it live, with the points being as close they are.

I seen on Facebook yesterday Tommy Powell had a mod done up like one of Balzanos old rides.

Looks like the only way they record it for a MavTV race is if they do it live on Lucas Oil TV. The North/South 100 has always been recorded for MavTV, but there were no cameras there this year. I'm sure the same applies for the DTWC this year.

I listen to it on C103.FM every year via the internet with race monitor open on another window. Sux they don't have live video for this event.

They went old school with the graphics, it's not a wrap but regular vinyl like the original.

I seen they were applying it piece by piece. I hope they had Mr Cash blasting while they were doing it, one piece at a time of course.

The throwback shirts they had with the old sponsors at Eldora (and I assume Dixie) is sold out with no plans to make any more. The new #18 shirt with current sponsors won't be available until the DTWC.

I'm anxious to see Francis' mopar car. Per Delph, erb will have something of his dads, sporting a #26. I assume Flinner will be bringing the 48 that used to belong to John?

So far, I feel like all of these guys have nailed the throw back cars.

The number is what was so iconic about any car he had. Not many guys ran holographic numbers back then, it was catchy and flashy. But he had throw his goofy skull and crossbones in there. :(
