This year, because I'm a good guy, I'm doing it again. One year ago, I wrote a piece offering up some last-minute suggestions for any teams wanting to throw their old trucker hats into the oval, pointing out throwback paint schemes we wouldn't see at Darlington but I thought we should. The guys who inexplicably chose not to participate (I'm looking at you, Jeff Gordon) ended up feeling like that one dude who thought he was too cool to wear a tux to prom and wound up looking like the kitchen help. The best part of it all was the long line of throwback paint schemes being used by today's stars. This year's throwback theme focuses on the era of 1975-84, that crucible of a decade in time that dared to mix old-school vets including Richard Petty and David Pearson with brash youngsters such as Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip. I spent my two days off already dreaming of two days on that are still three weeks away from now: the Southern 500 and second annual Darlington Raceway Throwback weekend. (This is part where all of the Xfinity teams who are still draining the rainwater out of their roll cages are saying, "What off weekend, jerk?")
