Next in my retro COT series, Darrell Waltrip’s 1979 Gatorade car. Actually, this scheme was driven through the late 70’s to early 80’s by not only DW, but also Bobby Allison(won the ’82 Daytona 500 in this scheme), Ricky Rudd, Geoff Bodine, and Rusty Wallace to name a few. It has been on a Buick, a Pontiac, a Chevy Laguna, a Chevelle, a Malibu, and a Monte Carlo. But, DW’s run in the car, with Buddy Parrot as crew chief and Robert Yates as his engine builder, was probably the best known because he actually led the points going into the last race of the year in 1979, only to end up losing the Championship to Richard Petty. Because it was once on a Malibu, I took the opportunity to use Lurn2Burn’s Malibu template to create this. Other credits include Google for logos and trg for contigs. Everything else by me. Comes with a pit crew, a driver, and ratings. Enjoy, and comments appreciated.
