RELATED: See every car, paint scheme in the field And the winner is … Danica Patrick. Her No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford Fusion was named the best throwback paint scheme this year at Darlington Raceway's annual throwback weekend. Patrick's car sports a blue-and-red look that honors Robert Yates Racing, specifically the car Dale Jarrett drove to a championship in 1999. Patrick was one of the 10 drivers NASCAR.com revealed as the top vote-getters last week. That group of cars, which also included Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88, Chase Elliott's No. 24 and Brad Keselowski's No. 2, among others, were presented to a group of NASCAR Hall of Famer members, who then voted on their favorite. Darlington and the collective NASCAR industry honor the 1985-89 era this year, the third consecutive throwback weekend at the "Track Too Tough to Tame." Previous winners of the best paint scheme vote are Kyle Larson (2015, Kyle Petty-inspired Mello Yello) and Tony Stewart (2016, Bobby Allison-inspired Coca-Cola).
