Could they not make the car navy or white?

Nah, I don't hate Auburn at all, only pretending to this week on tRant and doing a predictably shitty job of it

Can't recall seeing a NASCAR stock car decked out in a collegiate logo before. I'll admit, I'm jelly Although I will grant that if they'd made the base color navy or orange, they'd have knocked it out the park.

Should be a good race this weekend, too.

MWR/Aaron's has done a BCSNC car at Dega April race the past 4 year (3 honoring the Bama, 1 Auburn). I'm not sure why Auburn has a car right now...I guess we bought the hood sponsorship. As for the color, I guess Cessna wanted to keep it black.

Should be good race though. Jamie is good at the plate tracks so we might get to see this AU car lead some laps.

Had no clue you were the (or one of the?) Aggie Admin.

Before that (I want to say like 1999 or 2000) there was a Busch series car driven by Elliot Sadler that had some sponsorship support from Starter. They ran a few college paint schemes when they were near that school - Auburn design at Talladega, a Maryland design either at Richmond or Dover. I want to say there were a couple of others.

Also, in 2004, there was a student at Auburn that drove a few ARCA races, including one at Atlanta, and his car was all Auburn. They even made some diecasts of it.

Something Tanner I think. But yeah, it's an interesting way for a college to advertise.

Paint scheme or not that is pretty badass.

Hell, he might up and win the thing. Like you said, he's a good plate racer. And so much of those races is really about being in the right place at the right time.

If I had a dollar for every time Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson had a great car get tore up at Dega or Daytona through no fault of their own.....

I seem to remember Mr. Johnson starting a few wrecks at the plate tracks But yeah Jeff is as solid as Junior at a plate track. They both need a good run this weekend

Yup. Some of the all time best plate races I've ever watched were JG vs. Jr. when Junebug was with DEI

I've mellowed on my Jr. hate since he joined Hendrick and has struggled. I'd actually like to see him do well

You should like him by now. It's no coincidense that when Jr. came to Hendrick, JJ started finishing plate races then won a few. Jr needs a win bad this week...I imagine Stevie is going to go balls out with his engine. Finish 1st or detonate it
