About this Custom Number paint

In 1997, Matt Kenseth got the call to replace snowmobiler Tim Bender in Robbie Reiser's number 17 Chevrolets. Reiser's former Wisconsin short track rival, Kenseth immediately improved the team's fortunes, scoring 7 top tens in 21 races that season. For 1998, the team picked up Lycos as a one-off sponsor at Daytona after another sponsor pulled out, finishing 6th. The next week, the car showed up multi-colored and sponsorless, save for a Lycos sticker on the rear as a thank you. Kenseth shocked the racing world, taking the win after a last lap, turn four nudge to leader Tony Stewart. Lycos signed on for the rest of the season as Kenseth won twice more and contended for the championship, ultimately finishing second. This paint represents the late season Lycos car. 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
