Thanks Kevin.  Korey and I spent a bit of time trying to improve the look of the cars for the Invertase sponsorship.  We put extra time this year in trying to land on an iconic look that we could stay with and I think we will keep this design pattern for years to come.

As Rick Shive will tell you - and anyone else that has done race car graphics, it's hard to find the balance to get a good look that checks the box on key points.    

We wanted simple geometric shapes and easy-to-read numbers. We wanted a more classic look and not the swoopy swishy stuff going on these days.
- We had to carry the legacy of the Darrel Waltrip Orange that my brother had as part of his profile from years ago
- We want the number to be readable from the other side of the track. It is a little harder to do on the 600 and we might have made it bigger there, but it will look good on the XCEL.

It is an art and a science and here is to hoping that what we came up with will endure. 

Korey applied the graphics and he's developed a knack for 'stickers' which I never loved. Maybe someday I can convince him to hand letter one of the future variations for nostalgia sake, but these came out as a good package.

Thanks for noticing.
