Yeah, but that was when they'd run the same scheme all year, so for that one race, it was a big deal. People lost their minds when Dale drove that silver car in 1995.
Now, paint schemes change every race because the main sponsor changes every race (or whatever that sponsor is wanting to promote): http://www.jayski.com/news/schemes/2016/story/_/page/2016-NASCAR-Sprint-Cup-88-Team-Schemes
It also used to be a big deal because those old cars were painted. Now they use vinyl to wrap the cars. So they can just print the scheme, and apply it quickly.

This version of the Texaco car was always my favorite

Have faith
Any nascar game released on console sucks. NR2003 or iRacing. Only two places where you can get legit, fun racing. Go watch one of the nascar evolution youtube videos. Its terrible. Cars bouncing off of each other without losing speed. Driving through the grass and remaining glued to the track. No thanks.

I'd poop myself driving one of those cars in traffic on a hi banked speedway
Damn Chase kills himself after races where he makes a mistake. Though...i don't know what he could have done differently...the 42 was just a bit quicker and got a better push from the 2 car on both late restarts. The first two rows spun their tires on that last restart.
Future of the sport is in good hands though. Larson, Blaney, Elliott all in the age 20-24 range and have proven they can run in the top 5 already. Its just a matter of time before Erik Jones is doing that next year. Then Logano is still in his 20's and running strong.

yup, i called it earlier when that caution came out. Told my wife at that point it was over. Only reason he was pulling away from larson was because of the traffic that almost drove larson into the wall. Once they got going, they were both pretty even but larson was a tick quicker. Chase would have won that race had it gone green. But alas

no caution and chase wins, but i'm not upset with larson winning. kid can drive a car and was nice to see other drivers there in victory lane to congratulate him. Good day for the young guys with larson, elliott, and blaney all up there
Dale Jr. will sit out the remainder of the 2016 season. Jeff Gordon and Alex Bowman will race the remaining races in the 88.
Again, wouldn't be the least bit shocked if 2016 or 2017 is Dale's last year. Making way for William Byron.
I've heard that Gibbs may be letting Kenseth go in favor of Erik Jones after 2017. Biffle also looks to be out of a ride soon.

Byron hasn't even raced in xfinity yet. He's at the very least two seasons away so I don't think you'll see him til 2019 at earliest. Hendrick needs to sign more young guns. Jimmie and Kasey will be out the door before you know it as well
If Byron does as good as he has in Trucks, he may win the title in his rookie year. The Gibbs cars are still stout, but they're relatively average if not in the hands of Jones or a Cup driver. I like Matt Tifft because he went to UNC Charlotte, but he's no Erik Jones or Kyle Busch.
A link to the entire Darlington throwback scheme list:

The most odd one has to be the Paul Menard car painted like Little Al's 1993 Daytona 500 car. A throwback scheme for a guy that ran one NASCAR race ever? Kind of strange.
