Chrud Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Did any of you die-hard Gordon fans catch the mistake by the crew on Jeff's car at Fontana? The 24 car had the side numbers on backwards! The normal left side numbers lean back and the right side's lean forward. This week, it was the exact opposite. Here is Daytona, for some reason Gordon is driving backwards..... And here is Fontana..... You know you are a race fan when you notice the side numbers are on the wrong sides.

MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! Yeah...I guess thats odd. Hey Chrud did you catch Juniors problems today?

VermontHunter Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! I didn't even catch that one....LOL, but I can see Tony did tho... And from what I can tell the Vynal numbers don't motor the car. I guess this week we'll just have to take the lame punt shots at Gordon and his team....

slugshooter Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! In regards to the numbers, it might have been a problem with the people who make them, anymore nowadays the teams don't even paint the cars, the whole car from color to number to sponsor decals is all one big sheet that the team put on the car once it is finished being built, I saw it on one of those shows on speed channel, not sure if Hendrick teams do it but apparently it makes it easier to switch up cars, they just peel everything off and put a new one on.

Chrud Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! Thats true Slug. The right side numbers were leaned back instead of leaning forward, I thought it was kind of funny. Not as bad as if someone would go out there with a Winston Cup sticker on it.

spyderpancake Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! Maybe it had something to do with them putting a real paint job on at Daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffett1 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! Maybe Rusty did it in hopes of slowing him down...kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHuntr1 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Did You Catch It Gordon Fans???!!! [ QUOTE ] Base colors are paint, the rest numbers, sponses, etc. are decals. Gordons car is painted with the flame, and the blue......... [/ QUOTE ] Actually, they painted the decals on during daytona. I dont know about other races, but they did do it during Daytona.
