About this Custom Number paint

--- *Ford Template - Justin Rowden* --- *Ken Huff for Tail Lights & Extensions* --- *Bumper creases from Tyler Dalton's Dodge Intrepid Template * --- *Numbers - Bigevilracing.com* Matt Kenseth's Smirnoff Ice Ford Taurus from the 2004 season. Personal story time - Matt drove this car when I went to my first race, the 2004 Brickyard 400. Matt ran great all day, and it was looking to be a great battle to the end with Jeff Gordon who had been fast on the short run while Kenseth was fast on the long run. Unfortunately, a piece of brake rotor off of the #40 car fell onto the track and both leaders ran over the debris. Gordon held on to win the race despite some damage to his valence, but Kenseth pitted when he ran over the debris believing he had a flat tire. While the tire was still up, the suspension damage was real and Kenseth was relegated to a disappointing 23rd place finish. Updated 10/03/23*** Multiple quality updates. ALSO: Credit to Big Evil Designs for the 2004-05 Tail Lights! This car is newly updated from the prior (incorrect) 03 Tail Lights!

The shutdown of images from motorsport.com should serve as a wake up call to those who like to see the preservation of classic Nascar paint schemes. iRacing is a great platform to showcase those old cars and forever preserve them for people to enjoy and remember for years to come. It is only because of Winstel that I ever began painting these classic cars in the first place! Please consider donating to Winstel so that these paints will continue to be made, from the popular to the obscure! Very special thanks to those that have sponsored 2003 paints, or donated to the 2004 paint project which have now been made available to the community at large! Your support is invaluable! Paint work has begun on creating the 2005 Nextel Cup Series season! Please consider donating to Winstel (via the paypal link below) as that is the driving force behind making all of these great cars! $10 Unlocks a single car of your choice for the community, $20 unlocks a car of your choice as well as giving you personal access to all of the 2005 cars. While 2005 will be my main focus as we have ~250 cars needed for that season, I will do my best to convert all of the 2003-2004 cars to the iRacing 2003 bodies when they are released. I'd expect this to be a slow process, but it also really just depends on how well things convert. If the templates are similar then that would be great - but we just don't know yet. Special thanks to those who have donated in the past! It really helps us create these cars and put together the amazing product that we have 24 weeks out of the year! Once again thank all of you for your support! Donate to Winstel via Paypal: Lonewolf_c@yahoo.com Join the Winstel Discord and Register for the 2004 Season: https://discord.gg/zQsprgFeW5
