What’s Happening
Throwback schemes are always a highlight when heading to Darlington Raceway in the spring. However, one problem with the throwback cars is that the logos are usually not exactly the same due to sponsorship changes over the years. UPS is here to rectify that issue, at least for a few cars.
- Three NASCAR teams will use Dale Jarrett Throwback schemes at the upcoming Darlington race on May 14. Carson Hocevar in the Truck Series, Ross Chastain in the Cup Series, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr in the Cup Series. Hocevar and Chastain will adorn UPS sponsorship for the race as well.
- The Dale Jarrett UPS scheme was one of the most iconic NASCAR looks of the 2000s. It was the scheme he won his last Cup Series race in 2005 at Talladega, and it was also the colors he flew in his final Cup Series race in at Bristol in 2008.
- Fans are excited at the announcement. It should be especially cool to 2000s NASCAR fans who got to see this scheme on track.
