It’s throwback weekend in NASCAR as the Cup Series takes on Darlington Raceway for Sunday’s Goodyear 400. And while a race at this historic track is a big deal on its own, the throwback theme of it means teams and drivers are busting out old-school paint schemes for their rides.
Last year, the spring Darlington race featured some awesome paint schemes, and the year before was pretty solid too. But this year’s looks might be even better.
But as we and NASCAR Twitter have noted, there’s a clear frontrunner for the best 2022 throwback paint scheme, and it’s actually two cars: Ross Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet and Daniel Suárez’s No. 99 Chevrolet. The two Trackhouse Racing drivers’ cars share a theme, honoring Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr. from a 1998 race.
Although the Trackhouse cars have two of the best throwback paint schemes ever, there are plenty of other cool looks this year too. So here’s a look at what’s been revealed so far, and as teams and drivers continue unveiling them, we’ll have updates.
The 2022 Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway is Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1.
