It is a shame they can’t get the original sponsor logos for these throwback cars, but it’s understandable, especially for older sponsors that aren’t around anymore/rebranded/under new ownership/etc. I know last year’s 75th anniversary cars were impressive just getting anything on them.

I didn’t buy the 75th champions set cause of the lack of sponsors.

Lionel definitely could get the sponsors they offered jr’s car they just want to save money

They don’t care and neither do the sponsors.

They prob couldnt get one sponsor for a car and decided to do make all of them sponsorless

They couldn’t at least get DuPont for Jeff? That’s absolutely the one they should spring for. Plus, it’s not like DuPont has bad blood with Nascar

@@COCarDude Respond to this comment at the end of the summer (August) and tell me how many of these cars are on your pegs, and I’ll say how many are on mine. I have about 10 Walmarts Targets and Meijers around me. All you comment liking deeriders reply too.
I’m not saying they are good. They totally suck, but for 5 bucks in the stores people still buy them out. It also depends on your amount of foot traffic, I’m from a mid sized city, so if it’s a small town store then it makes sense that they wouldn’t sell.

@COCarDude May 2, 2024 at 3:45 am

@RC.41  I’m guessing you live in Michigan or Ohio based on the Meijer comment. I live in Colorado, so I almost guarantee that they will still be hanging on pegs here but ill check back w you then

Agree ^ no need for that. Obviously there’s no comparison between the two. It would be like me vs Kyle Larson at driving. Not comparable

Three hendrick throwback schemes have been revealed, Chase driving the Jr throwback, Larson with the Bodine throwback, and Bowman with the jimmie throwback. If the same trend keeps on going, do we see a rainbow warrior throwback for Byron?

@firelynx1108 May 1, 2024 at 9:11 pm

It’s the flames one from around 2010 or so. I wish I could post pictures here in replies because I have one where they pixelated it to try to hide it for the reveal

no sponsors sucks,..BIG. I WILL say, it’s odd, real odd that Bodines didn’t have the “All star racing” name as a sponsor on it,….THAT WAS Rick Hendricks sponsor name WITH his Chevy dealers backing it.
