2014 Nationwide- #30

[Alonso2005]

Danica Patrick's ride for Daytona:

Ugly, hopefully it will look better on the real car or in victory lane!

 

[MrDude68]

Eww.

 

[Thunder98]

Very Un-TSM-like...

 

[B.McKeever]

Victory Lane? It's cold outside, but not that cold. (Only kidding, unbunch your panties, Danica-lovers.)

I am not fond of the # 30 but very much like the scheme compared to last years. I think it'd look 10x better with the TSM # 30 font.

Who needs to take acid when you can just look at that thing?

Not awful, reminds me of a mix of the Thank a Teacher #51/09 that ran in 2011 and Dillons cheerio ride. Sadly, it will meet the same fate as most danica driven cars and will be destroyed about 50 laps into the race.

 

[bigrolltide1877]

What in the world. To me the car seems to busy.

 

[Sgt Slaughter]

...

Meh.

 

[SpeedDemon39]

They should of kept the #30 they have used for a while. Anyway, the scheme to me doesn't fit the sponsor well and there are way too much designs going on.

 

[FloridaFan88]

In my opinion, it's not all that bad.

That scheme has nothing on Pastrana's from last year. Now that was the epitome of a visual interpretation of dropping acid.

Thankfully we didn't have to see it that much once ESPN realized he wasn't god's gift to stock car racing.

That scheme looks terrible (too busy). The colors don't go well together, the number font (non-TSM font) looks odd, and they should have stuck with the colors that the #7 Sprint Cup and the #99 Nationwide teams used last year (the gold and white mix).

That is my two cents. That mix of orange, pink, and grey/black just don't go together.

Yea really. Once they finally realized he wasnt just going to waltz right in and run up front (still not even sure why anyone thought that would happen).

I have to admit, I was pretty surprised (and disappointed) NASCAR approved that scheme. Especially with no major sponsor tied to it. Not to mention, his explanation of "I wanted my family and friends to be able to see me better". Frankly, I think it was all pretty absurd. I'd be curious to know how that would've went down if some "Joe Blow from Idaho" millionaire took up NNS racing as his new hobby (just as Pastrana did), and submitted that scheme and explanation. Something tells me it would've gone differently.

Nonetheless, glad that whole deal is over with...

(Next time I'll tell y'all how I REALLY feel about it )

I think dedicating yourself to a full season with Roush is more than a hobby. He gave it a real shot and it didnt work out for him for a few reasons. But I think he took it very serious.

As far as the 30 cars scheme, It represents the FL lottery brand pretty good.

I guess so. I mean with Just Imagine as their slogan and all, It's like the car is telling me "Just Imagine a much better paint scheme..."

 

[K.Chuck]

lol, it is a little harsh but as guy that has lived in FL for 25 years, I can say the color and logo of the FL lotto has always been ugly.

Maybe I'd feel different if he didnt buy his season with Roush, which by the way, came after his first part-time effort that got pushed back a year because he shattered his leg after deciding to run freestyle moto in the X games just a few days before his racing debut. Not hating on the guy or anything - and I actually grew to like him a good deal - but there was nothing about his whole NASCAR stint that seemed even remotely serious to me. Just a very wealthy adrenaline junkie who likes to try new things and chase that next kick.


Not to hijack the thread or anything, so I will say I think this #30 scheme would look a lot better without all the white dots.

 

[Relly]

If I cover up the number font and look at the rest of the car I kind of like it.

Shades of the old school Miami Floridians throwbacks
