About this Custom Number paint

Long-time Busch Grand National driver Elton Sawyer came close to glory throughout the 80s and early 90s but by the end of 1993, still had a zero in the win column. A new opportunity in 1994 marked Sawyer’s best chance to break through. The new Akins-Sutton Motorsports team brought money and know-how and signed the veteran for a full season in the 38 Ford with sponsorship from Ford’s internal financing arm, Ford Credit. Sawyer showed speed but inconsistency, failing to qualify for two early-season races. However, in race 14 at Myrtle Beach, Sawyer had the car to beat. The day was nearly derailed by a jumped restart penalty, but Sawyer was able to time his penalty with a pit stop, and managed to claw his way back to the front to finally take win number one. This paint represents the car as it appeared in the Myrtle Beach race. The Grand National Legends project is a series of paints dedicated to the most significant Busch Series drivers and cars of the 1990s. Part 2 of the series covers the years 1990 through 1994.
