About this Custom Number paint

A.J. Foyt - 1979 Daytona 500 - 75 Years: The Moments A.J. Foyt sat a distant third in his ill-handling Oldsmobile the closing laps of the 1979 Daytona 500. With just a handful of laps remaining, Foyt asked his team if he had any chance to catch the leaders. Upon learning the gap, Foyt decided not to contend with hard charging Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip behind them, letting both through. Foyt told his team that fifth place money was close enough to third place money that it wasn’t worth fighting the car anymore. The call proved unfortunate and more costly than he could have realized when leaders Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough collided on the final lap. With the top two out, Petty took over the lead. Waltrip and Foyt battled back, but it was car 43 taking the checkered flag first. This paint represents Foyt’s number 51 car as it appeared on that day. The 75 Years project is a series of paints dedicated to the history of NASCAR racing. Follow me for updates: twitter.com/iam27paul
