Anyone else wish that Ryan Smith could run his old paint scheme with the new team?

 I am sure that the owners are wonderful people and i am also sure that Ryan Smith is greatful, but man, that 59 car is really ugly!  Looks like a toy or something that was thrown togeher at the last second.  Can't be good for attracing sponsors.

They will be running both cars throughout the season. 

I was under the same impression that they'd run both cars, but my guess is Ryan's 94 Warko scheme will be on the track for the majority of All Star and races up North.  The 59 may come into play at bigger WoO sanctioned events like King's Royal and maybe Knoxville.  The 59 only made a few starts last year and I think they're a bit light on equipment.  Not sure though. 

  wow, have you been in our trailer lately

I have not been and probably should not have indicated "light on equipment," though in fairness I did not mean it in a bad way whatsoever.  I assumed (which in this case only made an ass out of myself) that with limited starts last year there was limited equipment.  Again shouldn't have assumed.  All that said I've always been a fan of you guys since the TK days a few years ago so I'm glad to see you guys involved with sprint car racing in any and all capacity.  We need more owners like yourself, so thanks.  

thank you, we try

I don't think it looks bad, maybe not as pretty as the 94 but nicer than a lot of the other new paint schemes I've seen this year.

I don't know how you can say the 59 car is really ugly. Especially when you compare it to some of the awful paint

schemes racing this week in Fla. Yellow cars rule.

I just wish that he could get a little bit of luck in the new ride issues with a torque tube on night one then broke a torsion stop lining up for the feature on night two car definitely had some good speed in the heat race.. I was told by a crew member that the 59 will be run put on the existing 94 equipment but they will run the 94 number from time to time at some close Pa. races

Maybe I'm in the minority but I've always been a huge fan of the 59 car's look. I like it because it's different. There isn't another car quite like it. It has a certain uniqueness to it and it stands out on the racetrack better than probably 90% of the cars out there. Best of all, it looks like a race car. No crooked numbers on the wing, no overdone graphics and no hideous black wheels. I don't car what anyone says, I like it.

I'm with you. I think it's one of the best looking Sprints around.

Am I the only one who doesn't care what a car looks like? Or at least is secondary to performance..

Maybe.
