So stupid, how far could they possibly get from this, the best Farmers #5 scheme:

Simple, you get the fans to paint the cars. They're so good with coming up with new rules packages with their unlimited knowledge of everything, so why not get them to paint the cars too?!?! Hendrick obviously made the right choice by letting the fans create this beauty.

Am I the only one that like the new paint scheme? If it was a brighter blue at least.

Really liked Kvapil's scheme

Really liked Kvapil's scheme

Yeah the Yates one was good you're right (especially with that legendary #28), but I did say the best one on the #5.

Are we forgetting this one??

Hey it's still better than Jamie Mac's car.

The fans didn't actually create it, they just let them vote from chunks of pre-made designs and half-assed them together to get...er...whatever the hell you wanna call the 2015 scheme.

A real fan design contest would be:
-Here's a template with our #'s and sponsor
-All submissions will be voted on
-Best one wins.

That way they could actually get a diamond in the rough from a fan and get a really good looking car on track.

(If you need further proof: 2014 #98 DogeCoin contest)

The car looks about as good as my Falcons do this year. Flaming garbage.

 

[Rykia]

The Lionel shot does look a little better than the "fan garage" shot did, but I'll wait until I see it on track to fully judge it I guess.

LiftMaster joins Kasey Kahne for 3 races in 2015.

Another sponsor pulled from another team. XD

Scheme looks good, much better than when it was on the #1.

 

[Mo Neenja31]

Hendrick is good at stealing sponsors from other teams

 

[Alan Harkleroad]

It is possible for sponsors to want better performance, not saying Kahne was better then Jamie Mac, but company wise 3 of 4 cars went in the chase vs none on CGR and dont forget all the possible associate deals with Gordon, Jr, and JJ just by being on another car in the team. More options.

All 4 made the Chase because Kasey won at Atlanta.

 

[Alan Harkleroad]

Yeah forgot that lol.

Its not so much the on-track performance, its the activation of the sponsorship. Generally speaking, the "super" teams like HMS can offer more and better options in those areas (whether it be marketing ads, hospitality events, appearances, etc...). Its kind of a common misconception that sponsors jump onboard (with a top team) mostly for the opportunity of seeing their paint scheme up front on TV. While thats certainly a part of it, what they're really after more so than that is the activation opportunities. Thats where they benefit the most when partnering with a top team.

Makes me think what could have been if Sterling didn't get hurt in 2002. He had that championship in the bag

Not really a fan of LiftMaster being on the 5 but I really like the scheme, could use more gray though.
