About this Custom Number paint

Credits: Template- Big Evil Designs, 1998 Monte Carlo by Derek Gilray. Numbers- Big Evil Designs, Decals- GT Sport and GT7 decal repositories. On March 22nd, 1998; Darlington Raceway held the TranSouth Financial 400 for the 42nd time on the 5th stop of the 1998 season. One of the 43 drivers that started the race that weekend was the man they called “Jaws”, owner-driver of the #17 Chevy Monte Carlo, Darrell Waltrip. Darrell who started in the last position, had to use his champion’s provisional to make the race as his team was struggling after losing their title sponsor SpeedBlock for not paying the team. Waltrip was able to make up 13 spots and finish in the 30th position five laps down, leading no laps. Due to the lack of sponsorship Waltrip ran a blank white car with a decal on the hood celebrating NASCAR’s 50th anniversary, but he also adorned the number 300 in tribute to the Hall of Fame driver Tim Flock, who was in poor health at this time during 1998, along with other references to Tim’s driving days and phone #’s for anyone to donate to the Trust and Medical funds for the Flocks. Unfortunately, due to NASCAR rules at the time only allowing numbers of two digits at maximum. He was forced to switch back to his normal number 17 for the race and qualifying.
