Laziest Throwback Paint Scheme?
Danica Patrick's 2016. That scheme looks like total ass, and it wasn't throwing back to anything other than the color brown, which, let's be honest, pretty much summed up the state of her goddamn career at that point.
Kyle Larson's 2018. Supposedly, this is supposed to resemble Davey Allison's car from '88, but they totally botched the colors. Would've been way cooler if they'd gone with McDonald's; they used similar colors and wouldn't have screwed it up so royally.
Daniel Hemric 2019. What the hell is this supposed to be, Darth Vader's ride? I actually kinda dig the scheme, but calling this a throwback is just plain lazy, not gonna lie.
Erik Jones 2020. So, according to Jayski, this car's supposed to be a tribute to a one-off Tony Stewart scheme from '05. But seriously, when the hell did Home Depot orange and Sports Clips red become the same damn color? Thank God the other Gibbs cars were kickin' ass, because this one was just plain unsalvageable.
Chris Buescher 2019. Alright, alright, let's talk about Chris Buescher's 2019 throwback. Sigh. Okay, so the concept was alright, honoring Bush's Beans 100th anniversary. Cool, I get it. Nostalgia sells, right? But the execution... oh, the execution. Honestly, it looked kinda... meh. Like they took a blank car and just slapped logos all over it.
