Cromax Pro = DuPont

Cromax Pro = DuPont

'Chromax Pro' logo a product that DuPont has included in a sale to a group of investors was in the DuPont's traditional area. I feel as that this is the last year for Dupont with Gordon.

 

[ICEYOU]

But either way I don't think we'll see a Dupont sponsored only car this year or ever again. If Jeff wins his fifth championship this year he will be deemed as "New Gordon". Just like Brad was deemed as "New Keselowski" after winning the title last season and his team is with Ford now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Looks great

Agreed.👍

Although, I'm still not a big fan of the drivers surnames on the windshield.

And lol @ Jahgee's Bill Cosby picture. 👍

 

[RVDNuT374]

So its basically back to the old school Pack racing.

I'll believe it when the Daytona 500 starts and the drivers are actually able to move around in the pack instead of the 2012 "ride and wreck" package.

 

[Wilbur]

What in the hell is that little mini window net there for? I haven't noticed that til just now.

You know some schemes look great so far while others have failed. This goes in the failed but the biggest fail so far is the #2 honestly.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I don't think it's bad. I really like the shade of red they used, and the yellow makes it pop a bit. The only thing that's bugging me is the huge empty space below the Drive to end Hunger logos on the sides, above the rear wheels...

 

[Ganon83]

If you think the 2 is awful, try the 17:

 

[GTPorsche]

No, the 2 is the worst.

 

[The Bman]

The 2 car's paint scheme is nowhere near as bad as Matt Kenseth's.

And Gordon's paint scheme is badass. 👍

 

[GTPorsche]

Ok, that orange fade is bad, but the beer glass is still awful.

The 2 and 20 are terrible.

 

[BKGlover]

Why is the 2 scheme bad? a bit empty yes, but not bad.

looking at them all SO FAR, both 24 schemes are the best, followed by the Shell 22, the Bud 29, and the 48 that mimics last years looks. The Farmers 5, Target 42, and possibly the UPS 99 are the bottom of the list. Also, the Toyota itself looks like crap.

[GTPorsche]

It has what is known to be "Carrot Top effect". Without the beer, and replaced with some matching stripes or swooshes or whatever they call that on the front, it would be better.

 

[Austin343]

I think Gordon's scheme looks fantastic. The 21 is the only liveried example I've seen so far of a Fusion that I think looks excellent, although the 17's Zest scheme, the 16, and the 9 are okay, too.

Oh, goodness. The 39 and the 10 look even worse than they did last year:

Looking at Jayski's page, I think most liveries really look pretty good. I'm crossing my fingers that the 2 will look better in real life than in renderings and diecasts, but I agree that from what we've seen so far, it's a huge failure.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The green blob!

 

[Spacegoat]

I actually like the green blob this year. *dives for cover*

 

[GTPorsche]

The green blob!

Now featuring lines of orange and black.

 

[Jello18]

I think the 20 is the worst by far.

 

[Wilbur]

It does! They broke up all that green thank god, it's a simple one still.

The 17 is same scheme and is ok. The 2 still looks like they had no clue where to put things, almost as if they took certain things and played pin the tail on th donkey!

The 17 would be much better without them being lazy on the quarter panel and not changing it to account to the new car.

 

[ICEYOU]

Now where exactly are the rookie strips going to go on danica's car now? I like Matt's car but the orange fade is retarded. I hope the Home Depot car isn't the same way.

 

[Blitz24]

Usage of words chosen is poor. Can't refer to things using words like retarded. I am in the minority that I like the 20 car, but would have preferred it all yellow with only an HD logo necessary.

You mean like they did last year with the HD logo on the rear decklid?

I don't mind the orange but could have done better fade job with either more orange forward or maybe rear part of the car (decklid and back).

 

[CodeRedR51]

More of Jeff's car. They had more on the Drive to end Hunger website yesterday, but I tried a handful of times to get to them and it would never load for me.

 

[JohnBM01]

I am nostalgic, so I've missed the rainbow colors of the #24 Chevy. However, I have always loved the gorgeous crimson or cherry red colors of the Drive to End Hunger Chevy. Beautiful car.

 

[opelgt1969]

Looks like Tony might not try the INDY 500 I'm still hoping something can be worked out for him and others that would like to do both:

[RACECAR]

Figured.

 

[JohnBM01]

Some people are so cool that they could do whatever they want without any sort of backlash or reservation. Tony Stewart has earned this distinction. He's probably one of today's drivers whom I've previously disliked but now respect. I'm fine with Tony Stewart doing Indy if he so chooses.

 

[GTPorsche]

No NASCAR driver will ever do the double because Indycar and NASCAR won't work together to make it happen. It would be good for fans to see that happen, because there's a story to follow if it occurs, but the two sides are too stubborn to work it out.

No full-time cup driver will do it. I could see a few try to do it if it was an option though. I miss those Ironman drivers!
