The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-May 28,2016

By David G. Firestone Jamie McMurray #1 Bass Pro Shops/National Wild Turkey Federation Chevy SS-Camo is an automatic one letter grade deduction, but the scheme is so bad, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. I don’t like the use of the turkey, I think it looks awful, and the color scheme is not great. F Jamie […]

The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-Davey Allison-1990

By David G. Firestone Davey Allison’s first all-black Texaco Havoline Ford Thunderbird waits to get going in 1990. For the most part, the scheme is good. The metallic gold works well on the door numbers, but the stripe, and side logos look a little odd. I do not like that white outline. It’s not needed, […]

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Tracker-May 25, 2016

By David G. Firestone CHIP GANASSI RACING TEAM #1 Jamie McMurray #1 Cessna/Beechcraft Chevy SS–New scheme for 2016, blue top, reverse wave formation across sides, white bottom, with silver accents. B+ Jamie McMurray #1 Sherwin Williams Chevy SS–New scheme for 2016, main design has been moved slightly to the rear. 150’th anniversary logo added to […]

The Driver Suit Blog-My Thoughts on the Ghosbusters Trailer

By David G. Firestone I’m going to discuss the Ghostbusters trailer controversy. I’ve got a few things I’d like to say about it. Please read the whole of my opinions before you comment, since this is a big issue with this trailer. I watched Ghostbusters growing up. I remember the movie, but I was never […]

The Driver Suit Blog-Introduction to Sports Memorabilia-Hero Cards

Racing fans, myself included, love to collect hero cards, especially at racing events.  This is my collection of hero cards.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-May 21, 2016

  By David G. Firestone Kasey Kahne #5 Great Clips Strong Against Cancer Chevy SS-I’m looking at this scheme, and asking myself “Why does this scheme have a snake/leopard motif?” Seriously, the hood and roof designs have nothing to do with the rest of the deisgn. It just looks awful, and I’ll give it a […]

The Driver Suit Blog-The Vest Project Part 4-The Undershirt

By David G. Firestone The Vest Project continues, with a slight change of plans this week. The three-piece firesuit contains a vest, undershirt, and pair of pants. We’ve been looking at vests, now let’s take a look at an undershirt from Team Rensi’s 2007 Free Credit Report Ford team, driven by David Gilliland, Richard Johns […]

The Driver Suit Blog-The Vest Project Part 3-Hidden Treasures

By David G. Firestone The last two weeks, I have discussed two different vests, the Joe Nemechek Swig vest from 2007, and the Berringer Vineyards vest from 2008-2010. These two vests were part of the short-lived three-piece firesuit combo, which was primarily used by pit crews, since a vest and shirt could reduce the amount […]

The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-Hut Stricklin-1990

By David G. Firestone Mike Alexander getting ready to run in his 1990 Raybestos Buick. The red on this car looks odd. It’s a bit to light to be red, but too dark to be pink. The scheme as a whole looks good, but I can’t get past that shade of red. Also, I hate […]
