Landon Cassill revealed his throwback paint scheme for the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway through a NASCAR Facebook Live event on Tuesday.
The No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford's look is inspired by J.D. McDuffie, a racing veteran who passed away in 1991. McDuffie made 653 starts in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, recording 106 top-10 finishes. McDuffie holds the record for making the most starts without ever reaching Victory Lane.
"J.D. was a guy who just kept scrapping, week after week, and earned a lot of good finishes as a result," Cassill said in team release. "(Team owner) Bob Jenkins likes to say that Front Row Motorsports is the team that does more with less. You can definitely say that J.D. McDuffie did the same thing, and we're proud to honor his memory at Darlington."
The throwback look is sponsored by Rumple Furniture Co. Inc. of Elkin, North Carolina, which also sponsored McDuffie for part of the 1980s.
"This isn't just an old paint scheme, this is a great design," Cassill said during the Facebook Live event. "That's what I love about these."
In five career Sprint Cup starts at Darlington, Cassill has an average finish of 26.0 and a best finish of 20th in last year's race.
The Darlington throwback weekend culminates in the running of the Bojangles' Southern 500 on Sept. 4 (6 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
