The special paint schemes for NASCAR‘s Throwback Weekend at Darlington Raceway keep coming in. In the latest development of the tribute schemes, Joey Logano and Team Penske will sport a throwback paint scheme. It is inspired by Bobby Allison’s car and will be seen in the Southern 500 race at Darlington Raceway on September 6.
The design of Logano’s car is a tribute to Bobby Allison’s No. 22 Buick from the 1985 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Allison won the Cup Series in 1983 and has also won the Daytona 500 three times in 1978, 1982, and 1988. He is also a four-time winner of the Southern 500. Bobby Allison is named as one of NASCAR’s 50 greatest drivers of all-time.

Another Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney will also run a special throwback paint scheme for the Throwback Weekend. Blaney’s No. 12 car for the labor-day race weekend is a tribute to the early stages of Paul Menard’s career. The design is reminiscent of Menard’s first ARCA victory in 2003. Menard ran the same paint scheme in his Cup Series and Xfinity Series debuts.
