With help from NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett and Sprint Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, Interstate Batteries revealed Busch's No. 18 paint scheme for this fall's Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Tuesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. 

 

Sticking with the throwback theme, the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota will be a replica of the original design Jarrett raced to victory in the 1993 Daytona 500, which was the first-ever win for JGR and Interstate Batteries. 

 

The 2016 season marks 25 years for JGR and its relationship with Interstate Batteries. The No. 18 throwback scheme will take the track Sept. 6 at the South Carolina track (6 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

 

The top scheme below is Busch's; the one below it is Dale Jarrett's car that inspired the throwback look.
