Hopefully you got a look at this great paint scheme for Daytona. It's a tribute to Kyle Petty's first win in the ARCA race at Daytona in 1979. Yes, Kyle won the Saturday Race, and Richard won the Sunday race, talk about Petty domination! AJ Almendinger drove to a third place finish at Daytona this year.

But, let's not forget the inspiration for all this, a seldom victorious Dodge Magnum.

I hope Valvoline keeps this paint job for the rest of the year.
Once again, you can yell "GO A.J.!!!!!!!!"

That's an Ideal TCR Magnum, Randy, not an AFX. They also did a Chevelle Laguna.
Looks like you could do some serious rubbin' with that front bumper, Rich. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the clarification, didn't realize it was a TCR. I had the blue No.8 Magnum on my mind...RM

It's a Kyle Petty rookie bumper. It was good enough to push him to first place in 1979!

The modern car is a Trevco ornament I stripped and repainted. Both cars sport a Tyco LWB 440x2 chassis, regarded as the best chassis ever made.
bobhch 02-21-2009, 12:04 AM Love the color combos as they both look like winners to me!

Doesn't A.J. (Foyt that is:rolleyes:) belong in an Indy car?? :freak::lol:
Great looking cars NT
NTxSlotCars 05-17-2009, 01:42 AM I don't think AJ Allmendingy has had the same sponsor for two races in a row all year.
This sure was the best one.

gear buster 05-18-2009, 11:31 AM Nice looking cars NT. I am a sucker for Anything that is the Petty family.
Those was the days. Kyle winning, Richard winning, and different a different sponsor.
I remember the UNO #1 car Kyle drove.
Now who is going to build the first Petty Indy car???...

That scheme could be used with some of those old Piedmont Airline decals that sponsored stockers back in the day. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr
