About this Custom Number paint

Joe Bessey swapped from number 9 to number 6 for 1997 and it seemed to turn the Maine driver's luck around. PowerTeam came onboard the owner/driver's team for the first full season in 1997, a sponsor partnership that lasted through 2000 and a move to Winston Cup. After a number of close calls, Bessey finally grabbed his one and only BGN victory in the September Dover race, in a three-way battle with Randy Lajoie and Buckshot Jones. Bessey would avoid Jones's spinning car to take the lead for good with 15 laps to go. This paint represents the car Bessey drove to pole at Gateway in July of 1997. This car always ran with silver wheels. Use the brushed finish and color code #C7C7C7. The Grand National Legends project is a series of paints dedicated to the most significant Busch Series drivers and cars of the 1995 through 1999 seasons. Follow me for updates: twitter.com/iam27paul
