Clint Bowyer is really turning the clocks back with his throwback paint scheme for the Bojangles’ Southern 500 (Sept. 6, 7 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) at Darlington Raceway.
Bowyer took to Instagram to reveal details about the look his No. 15 Toyota will sport. As Bowyer wrote on Instagram: “The scheme connects two of the sport’s very best, car owner Bud Moore and the late Buddy Baker. To make it a TRUE throwback this baby is totally hand painted front to back. Now let’s go make buddy proud!!!”
In another post, the Michael Waltrip Racing driver added, “All my old dirt cars were hand painted. Can’t wait for yall to see it.”
Here’s a look at the car Baker drove in 1974 that Bowyer’s look is based off of.
Entering next weekend’s race, Bowyer holds the final spot in the provisional Chase Grid with just two regular-season races left before the 16-driver field for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is set.
Bowyer has one top-10 finish in nine career starts at the 1.366-mile track in South Carolina.
