I swear someone needs to tell kyle busch that throwing back to a scheme 3 weeks ago 2 times in a row is NOT a throwback.

[@vermillon5243]

Hard to do a good 8 throwback with Lady Earnhardt owning the trademark

[@Cynthemcdouche]

@@vermillon5243 fr can't do anything with the wicked witch of the south

[@dominiccarranza2184]

Look. Don't yell at Kyle for something he can't control.

[@AAA__]

Having Zone as the sponsor limits what they can do. If they had a different sponsor for this race maybe they would have done one.

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

He could of throwback to Himself like MTJ did

[@votekyle3000]

4:40 if you played Gran Turismo in the 90s that Supra was a MONSTER

[@OneOfTheFew542]

Yeah it was no joke

[@tvann]

I get the supra, but seeing a boomer fan of Nascar, I'm not a fan.. But give me that 5 car all day!

[@ImTheMilkMan65]

Dude, I had the Corvette c5.r and that damned supra was my only competition

[@justinaycock6652]

That supra was annnnnoying could only beat it with nsx and Corvette c5r

[@sdx3918]

The Pratt & Miller Corvette C5.R and the TOMs Supra GT500 were like two sides of one coin in old school Gran Turismo.

[@nothinghere7391]

That Castrol throwback had HUGE significance. It could bring many JGTC/Super GT (in which it was very successful), fans to watch the race, possibly bringing in overseas viewers. It's a videogame legend from Gran Turismo and SEGA Rally. This Castrol swoosh design is one of the most iconic liveries in all of motorsports, from various disciplines. I'd give it a 8 in significance and possibly 9 in nostalgia.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

I just wish they could put the Toms logo somehow to make it completely a throwback...but I do like they put RFK in the same font style

[@TheCloudCreation]

Regarding Brad's Castrol scheme, I think you gotta pump up the significance score because anyone that has every played a Forza, Gran Turismo, and any of the other racing arcade/sim games knows this paint scheme. It's an all time CLASSIC. Even today, if you hop on any online race in one of the big racing sim/ arcade games, you are practically guaranteed to see a Supra running this scheme in your racing lobbies.

[@DynamiteTurk98]

Terry Labonte throwback is my favorite

[@bobbyblair8478]

That Castrol throwback is 🔥🔥 my god it’s so good.

[@nothinghere7391]

That Kaz Grala 15 car is JUICY. 10 outta 10

Hendrick Won Throwback Weekend 100%

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

The Hendrick cars are The best, The Kelloggs car, Jimmy Johnson throwback, The Dale Earnhardt Jr throwback, and the 2009 Jeff Gordon throwback! Those are some of the best

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

💯 TRUTH

[@NASCARRACER89official]

Agreed 💯 best year to be a Hendrick fan

[@MegaMr46]

But can’t deny Kyle Larson’s paint scheme being the best because he’s gonna do it for Turry!

Chase Elliott's Hooters paint scheme

[@irvingboy1122]

My favorite throwback this year is definitely that Terry Labonte scheme I think that definitely wins throwback weekend this year

Bowman's is great and Byron's is phenomenal, but Larson takes the cake for me.

Any Jimmie Johnson throwback automatically becomes my favorite. There's been more 2010's throwbacks and it's making me feel old lmao

[@adrianpragiwaksana4245]

Hendrick's livery is so tasty. However, my take for best throwback livery has to be Keselowski's Castrol livery. So so good, especially from Gran Turismo/JGTC era

[@jc1424]

that red and white 71 is iconic Bobby Isaac won the 1970 Cup Series title with that there's even a NASCAR game based off that season

[@thomasredden4263]

My little brother was actually named after Adrian Fernandez, my dad was an enormous Indycar fan all the way to the day he died, so it really warmed my heart to see that scheme being run this weekend, definitely the most personal to me of any they have ever run and it’ll be cool to see on Sunday

[@lionelnextelstudios0.282]

I love the Brandon poole hot wheels and kyle larson Kellogg throwbacks

[@AAA__]

It is an Xfinity car but Chad Finchum's throwback to 2001 Harvick is the best scheme of the weekend. Leland Honeyman's Mellow Yellow one is really good too.

[@bearmarsh6579]

Some teams get it and some teams don't. The Hendrick Motorsports throwback paint scheme are awesome.

[@r.j.h.l2031]

I was a big Terry Labonte fan from his career at Hendrick onward. Feels good to see that paint scheme back on the 5 car.

[@caseyhill967]

That 5 car is a thing of beauty

[@stewcullom5259]

I don’t know why they can’t put the number in the center of the door for the throwback only

[@kevinrandolph9109]

Because it's NASCAR and that would make sense 😅

[@aaronmachado13]

I love tricon throwing it back to Tanner Gray NHRA car. It actually translates so good to the truck

[@jhonadelic]

Terry labonte scheme is what got me into NASCAR 🔥🥣

[@RaynShikama]

The Xfinity throw backs were so good I’d love to see a video for those! The 42, 43, 44, and 97 especially stuck out to me. But the 00, 4, 15, 18, 29, 31 were all bangers too

[@michaelbwhiteside4135]

That Jeff Gordon scheme is so badass though. I had that diecast growing up and he thought he wasn’t my guy that was my favorite. Used to have him come from last to first while racing them around.

[@jmcmotorsportstv]

I like the Gilliland one best, best looking Darkhorse so far, and looks so much like a late model, I liked the ones who threw back to short track cars like Berry, Briscoe, Preece. Also the Retzlaff one is great, love sneaking in the tobacco schemes.

[@moontainbew5018]

finally someone agrees with me TODD GILLILAND i love how it has that blowing look on the numbers just everyone always wants same old Dale Sr Matt Kenseth, to me its not just always same old same old Todds just looks very unique tho there is alot of other good ones not only is Todd my fav so a biased there and John Hunter tied favs now adays but to me his just a little stands out. The others sorta been there done that in a sense.

[@RunningMan-9905]

I loved the Hendrick Motorsports throwback this year, I've always had nostalgia for theses paint schemes especially Bowman's throwback to Jimmie is my favorite all time favorite driver and Byron throwback to Gordon's flames I've always liked Gordon with the different flame schemes. Larson's throwback scheme to Labonte I remember one of my dad's best friend gave me this exact paint scheme in 1:64 scales when him and my dad went to race. Elliots throwback scheme to Jr I really like it's one of his better ones since the Alan Kulwicki throwback scheme.

[@jmcmotorsportstv]

Wow BK,s Toms Supra throwback is GranTurismo nostalgia gold. Absolutely beautiful hands down the best car out there.

[@N9IBZED]

I think that #71 scheme is something recognizable I seem to remember Dave Marcus running that color combo quite a bit plus another driver from back in the early 70s also ran a #71 with those colors as well but I could be mistaken and I love what Trackhouse did with that #⁹⁹ for Suarez and of course the Hendrick Kellogg throwback is a home run as well

[@deltaeagle84]

firestorm scheme was the scheme that let Gordon tie Waltrip and Allison on the all-time win list with that Pocono win on 2011. Also a Gordon fan who started on '09 this one hits harder for me than the classic red and blue schemes.

[@j.cbutterfly3293]

I love paint schemes for Team Hendrick Motorsports for this tribute in 40 years

[@seen48]

Totally agree Eric of the New Race Hub. Sponsors call the shots, but it’s one race, a fun competitive race. Get fun with it, you’ll sell more die-casts, merch etc. It’s a shame it’s not 100% of the teams and sponsors all don’t go in on it. All JGR have zero, ZERO! I don’t buy the Truex one. Looks so close to this year’s Auto Owners scheme. Some of them are total gems! I love all four Hendrick throwbacks. And the Legacy cars look nice. Great job Eric at the New Race Hub!

[@dillonblackwood]

My first favorite driver, from like age 4-10 was Terry Lebonte. When I was 8, I watched Jimmie Johnson stuff it into the tire barrier at the Glen ( I thought he died), and he stands on the car arms raised high in celebration of life. Lol I was immediately hooked and a fan for life! 😅 might be my personal favorite throwback weekend to date!

Honestly, I'm waiting for the day that the 24 brings back the one scheme they ran in the 2000 Winston All-star event, I can't remember the exact name, like "the complete rainbow" 9r something along those lines. That would be sick. Also, maybe a throwback to Jerry Nadeau's first win in 2000, that white and blue Micheal Holigan's car.
