Patriotic cars/paint schemes?

Patriotic #'s?

Driver's names that you can tie in to The 4th of July, The Revolutionary War, or our country's independance (founding father's names, revolutionary war heros.....  (Were there any driver's named "Revere?" Undecided)

Car #'s that could be somehow tied in to the 4th, or "explosives/fireworks?"

Here's somewhat of a stretch, but just to get you started......  Revolutionary war's Molly Pitcher (gave water to the troups over by Freehold during the battle of Monmouth) and Ken Johnson's #64 that has "Moly Black Gold" as a sponsor.... (Yea, it's spelled different, but you get the idea....)

# 76 short for  1776 - Always reminds me of  the Barker Bus dirt modifieds and the Blewett's red, white, and blue pavement modifieds.

Absolutely!

I was just looking through a 1977 program and mentioned that your dad was one to watch in extra distance races.

We had just moved from East Windsor to Robbinsville. I was 19. I don't think everything was even unpacked yet. I can't remember if it wasn't on TV or if we didn't gave cable yet but I recall lying on the living room floor listening to the Firecracker 400 on the radio. I think it was WHWH 1350AM but I could be wrong. Remember when you could find the NASCAR races on the radio almost anywhere? Anyhow, The King won #200 and I can recall banging on the floor I was so excited. I can't imagine 60,000 people would be willing to sit in the Florida sun to watch a race on July 4th in 2023.

For me, 3 iconic hot rods driven by 3 of the best.  So when I got to thinking about race cars that could be considered patriotic, i

t was easier for me to take pics of my 1/64th versions than to travel through the photo sections of 3WIDE  for the "real, original animals".  Scott Ely
