Seems most of his relevancy on the International stage was in the late-90's early-00's with Minardi in F1 as well as Penske and Coyne in CART. Seems after that fizzled out he just hopped around the Brazil racing scene doing various series'.
Driver: Tarso Marques<!-- --> | Driver Database

His only saving grace is the lack of part-time teams running this year means there is a pretty decent chance of him getting into the race (although with only 4 open spots that could rapidly change).

Marques also has the distinction of being Fernando Alonso's first teammate in F1 while at Minardi.
It is weird seeing a name like his popping up for a seat in NASCAR. Villeneuve I can see, since he at least had a somewhat successful F1 career, albeit it being 20-25 years ago.

They just didn't do a good job at utilizing all that extra space on the side.They made the 17 work with the forward number but that 6, sheesh, no good

To be fair though, without some kind of outline around the logo that would also look pretty bad. Dark blue on light blue transitioning to white is a bit of an eyestrainer.
In all truth they should probably just put the throwback livery thing to rest entirely, they're never going to look right with the number moved forwards.

It's also completely ran its course in the six-ish years they've been doing it.

I'm still not OK with the number placement.

I like to imagine this is how the conversation went:
"Hey guys, let's make the track more exciting by repaving and narrowing it a ton!"
"Great idea! And how about we penalize the drivers by not letting them go to the apron where they can make a pass?"
"Excellent!"
I don't know, maybe it will surprise and actually work?

When was the last time the top 3 finishers were all looking for their first win? It's too bad California turned out the way it did, because we could be looking at 3 first timers in 4 races to begin the season.

Phoenix was alright. My driver had a poor finish so that sucked. Really happy for Briscoe.
Really interested to see how next week plays out. Superspeedway horsepower levels, but the aero package they’re running everywhere else, so less drag. And less downforce so handling might be a factor.

I just watched the highlights. They really have to do something about people abusing the apron here. Some might find it exciting, but I find it pretty stupid. The track is up there, use it. Letting them do that has made this track terrible.

So in the first month of the NASCAR season we have figured out that SHR has figure out the new car and Gibbs hasnt. Harrison Burton in any way shape or form is not a Cup driver. HMS line of talent goes Larson, Bowman, Elliott and Byron. Yes I hate to give the chosen won any props but Byron should be looking for a job soon. He can thank Liberty U for that. In Xfinity, Noah seems to found his way outta bad habits and Sam Mayer might be the worst driver in the history of the series. He wrecked out in half of his races last year and JRM put him full time in the #1? Why not put Matt D, Brennan Poole or Gray Gaulding in that ride?
