About this Custom Number paint

Buck Baker - 1956 - 75 Years: The Champions Buck Baker took the crown for the 1956 Grand National season in what may be NASCAR’s most controversial championship of all time. Baker inherited the championship lead late in the season under especially controversial and suspicious circumstances. Baker’s own car owner Carl Kiekhaefer organized a race at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in North Carolina in October to give his driver an additional chance to gain points on championship leader Herb Thomas, who had quit the Kiekhaefer squad earlier in the season. During that race, another Kiekhaefer driver, Speedy Thompson, clipped Thomas’s bumper and triggered a multi-car melee that left Thomas critically injured and out of the final three races of the season. Baker took the championship but Kiekhaefer had worn out his welcome with NASCAR and never returned. This paint represents Baker’s number 301 Mercury Outboards Chrysler for the 1956 Daytona Beach race. The 75 Years project is a series of paints dedicated to the history of NASCAR racing.
