Did everyone enjoy their NASCAR-off weekend? Yes? Great. Chuck Bednarik Youth Jersey . (This is part where all of the Xfinity teams who are still draining the rainwater out of their roll cages are saying, What off weekend, jerk?)I spent my two days off already dreaming of two days on that are still three weeks away from now: the Southern 500 and second annual Darlington Raceway Throwback weekend. This years throwback theme focuses on the era of 1975-84, that crucible of a decade in time that dared to mix old-school vets including?Richard Petty and David Pearson with brash youngsters such as Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip.Last years event was brilliant. The best part of it all was the long line of throwback paint schemes being used by todays stars. The guys who inexplicably chose not to participate (Im looking at you,?Jeff Gordon) ended up feeling like that one dude who thought he was too cool to wear a tux to prom and wound up looking like the kitchen help.One year ago, I wrote a piece offering up some last-minute suggestions for any teams wanting to throw their old trucker hats into the oval, pointing out throwback paint schemes we wouldnt see at Darlington but I thought we should.This year, because Im a good guy, Im doing it again. So, race teams, take notes and grab a bucket of paint. Theres still time to get on board. You can thank me at the racetrack over Labor Day weekend. Ill be the dude dressed like Chris Economaki.10. Jamie McMurray in the No. 1 UNO ChevyUNO-sponsored cars ran the gamut for General Motors, from Oldsmobiles to Buicks to Chevys. They were owned by Hoss Ellington and driven by the likes of Buddy Baker, Lake Speed, Tim Richmond and Kyle Petty. Yes, this is the card game UNO. I mean, really, does it get more early 1980s than playing a game of UNO? No! So get this paint scheme off the Discard pile!9. Or ... Jamie McMurray in the No. 1 Hawaiian Tropic ChevyIf family card games arent your thing, then we could go with Ellingtons more famous sponsor: Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotions. Even if this car doesnt run the Southern 500, a team could still paint one up and then have Terry Bradshaw drive it into a motel swimming pool. Thats ... thats ... thats ... p-p-p-p-perfect.8. Matt DiBenedetto in the No. 82 Cougar Coal ToyotaOK, I know BK Racing runs No.83, but it will be the closest on the Darlington entry list to 82. OK, I have zero recollection of the paint scheme that Ferrell Harris used on his Dodge back in 1975-80. And OK, I dont even remember Ferrell Harris. But I have this picture in my mind of the prerace grid and photographers snapping shots of the Cougar Coal car surrounded by a dozen lascivious 40-something women holding chunks of coal in one hand and inappropriately squeezing 25-year-old DiBenedetto with the other.7. Chris Buescher in the No. 72 Kings Row Fireplace FordWhy this pairing? Because of the joint Front Row Motorsports/Roush Fenway Racing all-hands-on-deck repair efforts at Watkins Glen, all to get back out and snatch up only a few points toward making the Chase. It reminded me so much of the multiteam scramble to get Benny Parsons destroyed ride back out onto the track at the 1972 season finale at Rockingham. Their efforts won BP and his low-budget DeWitt Racing team the Winston Cup title over big-money headliner Cale Yarborough.6. Jimmie Johnson in the No. 49 Brewster Baker ChevyYeah, yeah, I know Johnson has already unveiled his Darlington ride, a tribute to Dale Earnhardts 1979 rookie of the year ride with Rod Osterlund. But its no secret that Johnson loves the 1982 movie Six Pack. Plus, the fitness nut has an actual six pack. Plus, he has also been known to drink an entire six pack. Plus, he owns a six pack of Cup titles, even using #SixPack as a hashtag during his chase for that sixth championship. Plus, he can grow a full beard in like four days -- so as to pay full tribute to Kenny Rogers. Maybe we can coax Diane Lane out to the track? Please?5. Kyle Larson in the No. 42 7-Eleven ChevyKyle Petty ran with the 7-Eleven colors in the mid-1980s. If Im being totally honest with you, this is just a shameless ploy to get Larson to wear that awesome Kyle Petty afro wig he had on with the Mello Yello car last year.4. Matt Kenseth in the Dave Marcis TributeKenseth will unveil his retro Darlington scheme on Tuesday, but why not pay tribute to his fellow Wisconsinite? Marcis was a Cup Series title contender in the mid-1970s but by 1984 was on his way to becoming The Last of the Independents. During one of NASCARs longest careers, he ran a countless number of sponsors on the hood, including a whopping 35 between 1975-84. But he started that era in the orangest car of all time: the K&K Insurance machine of Nord Krauskopf. So, combine his two biggest backers of that era by painting the car really, really orange and then slapping a Shoneys Big Boy on the hood. And hey Matty, dont forget to wear the wingtip shoes.3. The Chaw SpecialWe could fill an entire starting grid with the paint schemes of chewing tobacco sponsors, but instead, just run them all on one car as if it were a brown juice-stained quilt. The Chattanooga Chew/Copenhagen/Levi Garrett/Skoal/Skoal Bandits ride. But wed also have to run a second car, wallpapered with nothing more than one giant surgeon generals warning.2. Paul Menard in the No. 27 Old Milwaukee ChevyI do like Menards Valvoline Al Unser Jr. tribute, but if youre going to run a car with 27 on the door in a race honoring the early 1980s, you gotta go full Tim Richmond, right? Then again, perhaps Rick Hendrick is already thinking about something honoring his 86 Southern 500 win with Richmond next year. Hmm...1. Anyone, I mean anyone, in the Cale Yarborough No. 28 Hardees ChevyNo car was badder, brighter or faster than Cales orange-and-white Harry Ranier Hardees machine, which won nine races running a part-time schedule from 1980-85. Every kids toy box in the southeast was full of 25-cent Cale cars you got with the purchase of a cheeseburger. Heck, this car was on The Dukes of Hazzard! Yet no one is running these colors during a 1975-84 throwback weekend? Speedy McGreedy would be ashamed. Teams, you have three weeks to fix this. So do it. Andre Dillard Womens Jersey .C.
