- The driver list
Tony Stewart - Former IROC Champion
Carl Edwards - Sprint Cup runner up (Since Tony is for Iroc)
Dario Franchitti - Indycar Overall Champion
Will Power - Indycar Road Course Champion
Ricky Stenhouse Jr - Nationwide Series Champion
Austin Dillon - Truck Series Champion
Scott Pruett - Grand Am Rolex Champion
Trevor Bayne - Daytona 500 Champion
Jimmie Johnson - Sprint Cup Champion 06-10
Jeff Gordon - 85 Career Nascar Sprint Cup wins
Kyle Busch - 100 Career divison wins
Mark Martin - Overall IROC Champion
JR Hildebrand - Indianapolis 500 top finishing rookie

I say add more non-NASCAR drivers to the list, but other than that, this sounds awesome.

You should add

Jason Myers - 2011 WOO Champion
Del Worsham - 2011 NHRA Top Fuel Champion
Matt Hagan - 2011 NHRA Funny Car Champion
Ryan Villopoto - 2011 Supercross Champion

Those are just ideas, not the biggest names in the world, but respected champions =) I love this idea though, I'm stoked to see them finished.

Looked up the paint schemes neither seem really possible because Carl is going to be a dark green and Mark a neon green, then the other three are all mainly black and that's Power. I'm just trying to limit confusion, but thanks for the sugestions anyway.

Just give them different colors. I remember Dale Sr. driving a petty blue car in IROC

In IROC the regular cars color rarely affected the IROC cars color.

I know what you mean but that was back with True Value as the sponsor, when Crown Royal was the sponsor the drivers main color mostly decided their color for the IROC car and number. Here's part of an artical from wikipedia.

Car identification

Through 2003, IROC was also known for its rainbow of car colors being easily recognized from all other closed wheel racing series. Car numbers were utilized for scoring purposes, but were not the primary means of identification. Instead, the drivers' surname would appear on the door of the car. Exceptions were made when Mario and Michael Andretti raced in the same events. In those cases, their first name was used. The numbers would change from race to race, with the number 1 would be given to the driver starting first, and so on. The colors would correspond to the numbers. This would make it very confusing for fans, as one week their favorite driver could be driving the blue #1 car, and the next week he could be in the #5 orange car.

In 2004, the Diageo brand Crown Royal became the series' title sponsor, replacing True Value, and the procedure changed. The cars would be identically painted in white, with trim which could be changed to represent the driver's colors in his regular racing series. Further, a driver's number in IROC would be his regular number. Thus, Steve Kinser would use green trim with the #11, and Matt Kenseth's car featured yellow trim with a #17.

The only exception to the numbering scheme involves the number 3. Following the death of Dale Earnhardt in 2001, IROC retired the use of #3. Any driver with that regular number would use #03 instead. Hélio Castroneves has raced with #03, but the car kept red trim, in reflection of his IRL car being red.

If there is a numbering conflict, another number will be substituted. In most cases, for one-digit numbers, a zero will be added in front. Otherwise a historically notable number will be run. (Penske drivers, for one instance, could use #66, owing to Mark Donohue.)

Got the first car done last night but I still need to know what font was used for the driver's name.

Thank you the numbers actually came with the templates I found which by the look of the forum are the same one. The only thing is I need to know the font for the driver's name is i'll try the font for the number but other than that i've got nothing.

You could do J.R. Hildebrand as the Indy 500 runner-up and Indy 500 ROTY. But the Camo would be difficult.

Also maybe add Sebastian Vettel as rhe F1 Champion, allthough that would be a little unrealistic since F1 drivers rarely raced in IROC.

Thought of Hildebrand but don't think camo would look good and was trying to keep F1 out of it because IROC was run by drivers of American series.

I think that should add Dan Wheldon and Dale Earnhardt Sr. to the list.
