Jimmie Johnson's Lowe's White Lightning Scheme: Cursed NASCAR Paint

Throughout the Lowe's era, there were tons of memorable designs. One of those was the simplistic, white and blue racing stripes look that raced during the 2012 NASCAR Cup Series season. Jimmie Johnson raced "white lightning" in 21 of his races, mostly as an alternate scheme to the primary blue. At first, it was a gem to see on the track. But over time, the Dover white look started to cause bad luck and become a curse for the 7 time champ. Watch this first episode of Cursed NASCAR Paint featuring Jimmie Johnson's White Lightning Scheme!

Johnsons been cursed since his last win. It's like the Yarborough helmet was cursed or something.

I just se this every where saying stuff is cursed with the 24 and then he won at Daytona lol

I also forgot to list in Jimmie Johnson 2018-2020 black paint schemes(Ally bland, Lowe’s for “mediocrity” and Ally Pixels black base version)

This aged well...

Can’t forget Kyle Larson dc solar

[@svech37]

i loved the 2012 season, jimmie johnsons simple schemes were just great

[@DennyDeliversYT]

But.... it wasn’t cursed during the Firecracker 400!... a race he won in a white paint scheme! 👀!

[@austinhiggins4645]

Hey do you think the white ally is gonna be curesd

[@locoluke4149]

Austin Higgins he’s actually had pretty good luck with it so far

[@zumois_productions]

@@locoluke4149 font jinx it bro

[@dexterfason578]

I’m not mad I’m just disappointed that they didn’t run Dover white at Dover

[@andypowell4702]

They really should have even though it is just named that by chance. Unless I'm wrong I assume it is named "Dover White" after the White Cliffs of Dover as they have a similar off white kind of color. Still would have been cool to see. I like Jimmie but kinda want him to stay at 7 with Richard and Dale. Legends in thier own right in vastly different eras of nascar that all deserve thier place in history tied for the greatest of all time.

[@GatoradeCupSeriesX94]

Still not as cursed as the black cars he drove for 3 years...

[@chaseforthecup6259]

Indeed

[@chardab8824]

Well hopefully his new white car isn’t cursed

Cursed Paint Schemes: Dale Jr's 2012-15 Silver Diet Dew Car

[@SharkyCartelRailroad]

That paint scheme is still haunting me to this day

[@Jackuwarz]

@@SharkyCartelRailroad I agree. When they ran it at all Round of 12 races in 2014 and all the bad luck there, thats what did it for me.

[@WillHendersonTX]

Jeff Gordon's black version of the DuPont 20 years scheme from 2012, it became associated with the Boywer feud, and he put Boywer in the wall on purpose.

[@thefossillcave]

JIMMAY's 2020 Black Ally car was cursed to death especially given it's history from the previous year.

[@AnneBUZZTKO]

And rALLY scheme IS SAVING IT SORTA.

[@wingnut5485]

Lowe’s should sponsor Jimmie for his last race, and should have the car look like his Rookie car.

[@AllThingsRacing]

They already tried that back in 2018, didn't work out too well

[@wingnut5485]

I was just sayin, cause Dale Jr. did something like that for his last race.

[@tylerhernandez5234]

I was actually just thinking about this. Ever since Jimmie went from the usual blue and silver Lowe's, he has declined in performance. Untill he came back to drive the blue and silver and won the championship, but then went to the black Lowe's, he never even won a race and eventually dropped.

[@Cuhh346]

spoiler alert Jimmie been doing good with the white ally car

[@AlanNadeauIII]

For most of this video I'm thinking, "Am I listening to NRF or am I listening to UrinatingTree?" cause the way you're speaking, it reminds me of him and his videos. Lol awesome vid, I would love to see you two do one together,

[@Ultrase7en767]

They emerald green version that ran Darlington 2013 is my favorite scheme he ever ran

[@psychodelusion_331]

Do Jeff Gordon 2015 3M Skin. I swear I thought he'd crash one way or another each time.

[@Rbgardner74]

The rally scheme seems like a redemption scheme 2 top5s And 3 top 10s since it first ran at Daytona rc

[@jingleoctopus4160]

12:00 met Jimmie at that race seeing him blow a tire on lap 13 was heartbreaking. He’s my favorite driver

[@uselesspaprclip5057]

4:51 Danica was running in 2nd

[@vollrathfgc]

This feels like a Legacy of Failure video by UrinatingTree It's done well though, so I don't mind

[@bostonwarrior4824]

Well luckily for him White is back! He hasn’t had it on the car in a very long time besides that the car looks so amazing and he’s done good with it so far way better with the white than the black car. Good way btw

[@American_God]

So far this White ally scheme has netted his best finishes this season with 2 top 5s and a 7th saturday at dover. Honestly i just think jimmie got too old for the dark schemes. His last win was dover with a lighter blue white and neon colored scheme. The moment he went to black he just wasnt the same

[@magicbadjames2810]

THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED!!!

[@colingodfrin2766]

When I was 12 and visiting Charlotte, my parents bought me a piece of the Silver car from the Glen at the Hendrick shop! Watkins Glen has always been one of my favorite tracks, and it was my first piece of metal, so that piece was awesome!!

Cursed paint schemes My lowes 2018 paint scheme

[@48forever41]

TRUEEEE

[@FastFoxx82]

His paint schemes have gotten less and less aggressive? Is that the right word? Like 2008 and 2009 is the greatest of his dominant years and thus the paint to match

[@Team7channel]

The Lowe’s black scheme was cursed

[@sirnickels9979]

It's only win happened at Daytona. White lightning strikes for the final time for Jimmies potential last win

[@MonsterAviation]

Dang. I was actually getting into the video, and I went to subscribe, normal things right? And then I saw the likes, the dislikes, and the comments! You deserve way more support! I thought you were a way bigger youtuber! You will get more support here soon!

[@JayStephens8]

Funny how as soon as soon as they switched they ally car to white they instantly started doing better wish they did that last year

[@mattr.8470]

If you ever do a cursed paint schemes again, and I know how much you love this driver... You should do a Kyle Busch Pedigree video

[@hman1801]

It's a beautiful scheme.

[@mattcecil6692]

Why Lowes went to a dying sport in the form of NFL is beyond me, but they'll reap what they sow soon enough. Also, as a late 90s kid there are way too many names I grew up following retiring. Craig Lowndes, Jimmie, Pedrosa, Junior. Going to have to find a new driver to follow next year in NASCAR which unlike MotoGP, F1 and V8 Supercars will be a little bit harder. I'm a fan of the Penske drivers behind Jimmie so that's where it'll be I guess

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Not as cursed as the 2018 Lowe’s for Pros car. God I despise that paint scheme....

[@packisbetter90]

still better than the ones now. Ally ones give me a complete headache looking at them. I always like Johnson's schemes from 2012-2014 most

[@Aser1121]

when he started running black cars

[@syaieya]

21 starts, average finish of 15.4 and a win. Taken at face value you'd think it was just an average, solid season for a lot of drivers.

[@nathangrant2602]

How about do a video of Jimmie Johnson’s black car curse 2018-2020 those paint schemes were horrible

[@connermoore6850]

How about making a video on William byron's 2018-2020 axalta paint scheme. He never seemed to do all that well with that scheme

[@ahawks4820]

[@jakobbuckles4472]

The changing of the hood logo and the constant changing of sodeskirts/tv panel for promotion is what cursed this car. If they kept the original it would have been successful

I wouldn't say it's cursed i mean he won the fire cracker 400

Bruh, this dude doesn't know what he's talking about. The rAlly/white scheme has been doing really good. It's not cursed, all he needs is a win. Watch him do it.

[@bonniewynn3983]

3:37 Surefire victory? Although it was a surefire victory for one of them, the 8 car was just as likely as the 48 to win the race pictured. I personally believe the 48 was going to win that one, but we were cheated out of an amazing finish by the shit head Vickers that day. It also cost the 8 his shot at the championship that year. Edit: great vid by the way, loved the sarcasm... had me LMAO
