Kasey Kahne’s No. 5 Darlington throwback scheme revealed

RELATED: Full schedule for Michigan, Gateway Hendrick Motorsports unveiled a special throwback paint scheme for its No. 5 Chevrolet on Wednesday afternoon, paying tribute to the team's earliest days in NASCAR. Kasey Kahne will drive the retro look in the Bojangles' Southern 500 on Sept. 3 at Darlington Raceway, site of the sport's annual celebration of all things vintage.

Bodine won four times in the yellow livery, including a victory in the 1986 Daytona 500. Great Clips steps in as the primary sponsor for the remake, but all other cues -- including the early typeface for the No. 5 -- remain in place. A Hendrick Motorsports spokesperson indicated that Kahne and crew chief Keith Rodden had a hand in determining the car's look and feel.
