Del Irnhardt’s revenues: Doug Barnes Junior
Hicori, NC – He did not win it, but every NASCAR fans remember the Del Irnhardt scheme for the red paint that appeared in TAZ from The Looney Tunes.
For 2000 DayTona 500, the Earnhardt team got rid of the traditional goodwrench Plus, drawing the car in red and slapping TAZ on the Chevrolet Monte Carlo cover. The popular and irregular animation character was part of the GMDWrench advertising campaign at the time. There was Trailblazer in NASCAR MERCARDISING, there were soon Earnhardt and Diecasts hats that include TAZ arriving by his loyal fans.
The Winston Cup champion led seven times in the TAT car in Dynona on that day, where he ran fourth with about 30 rolls to go until some red paint circulated with his son in the rising Bedizer No. Company, cut them into small pieces, and included those parts in the winner’s circle that was sold.
Irnhardt died a year later, tragicly in Dynona 500 2001 in a wreck that changed sport, and the Taz car was not seen again.
Until last weekend.
The ZMAX Cars Tour, a late cars chain for cars owned by Dalehardt JR.-was one of its largest races for this season at the end of last week at Historic Hickory Motor Speedway in the western state of North Carolina. The Throwback Classic, which was described as “the largest night in the date of the late pavement race”, was characterized by the richest portfolio ever for the car round: $ 50,000 for the winner of the late stock race and $ 30,000 for the winner of the late model race.
The additional layer of cold and nostalgia to this event is that drivers have been encouraged to honor previous myths of sport and unforgettable cars with terrorist paint plans. For example, Conner Jones drove a 48th white car with Louis’s announcement as a reference to Jimmy Johnson. Blayne Harrison and Dawson Sutton had Darrell Waltrip on their cars. There was also a greeting to Jeff Gordon, Alan Coloke, Rosti Wallace, David Pearson and Steve Park, among others.
Doug Barnes Junior always knew that if he had the opportunity to compete in this race, there was only a single plan that wanted to be his car: The TAZ.
“I saw this race and saw the links of anyone else, and I said,” If I would do one, I will do the Devil’s car in Tasmania. “He was on top of my list.” It was just my favorite car. “
Therefore, there was TAZ at the end of this week in Hickory Motor Speedway. The race was pushed to Sunday because of the rain, but Barnes ran well in it, as he finished fifth in the late stock competition.
27 -year -old Barnes from Harford County, Maryland, does not have his car in Lee Polly’s performance, and he does not have many memories of watching the Irnhardt race when he was a child, but he became a fan through goods.
“I don’t know if the factors that turned them to them, but I can tell you all the paintings of the Del Irnhardt paint.” “I had the favorite, and I was always a young lover.”
If there are any gaps to go to run in a race race with the Earnhardt paint scheme, Barnes was not aware of it.
“It is sometimes better to ask for forgiveness from permission,” said Barnes laughing. “I sent a text message to Del Junior, and he said it looks great. When I wrote to him, he was already wrapped in the middle of the road, so it was somewhat at the point where there was no return.
For Barnes, the fifth place was the third best five -year -old in the car tour and the seventh ranked first out of 10 races.
This time, the TAZ will not be cut into small holdings of a game company. However, Barnes said he was planning to cut the door and sign his team and crew before hanging in his jarage in Florida.
