#5: Logjam

God almighty this stupid countdown ends tonight. We've got a four-way tie for the #5 spot on the HumpIdiot 500 countdown of the best old school paint schemes in Nascar. Let's go:


It looks as good as High Life is bad.


First up, the Bobby Allison Miller High Life #12. She earned 15 HumpIdiot points along with the other cars stuck here at #5.

Captain, "All gold with white, green and red throughout. My first car I ever followed since my dad worked at Miller's. If you were creative enough, you could lay the 12oz. bottle on its side and it would look like the car. No wait, I was just drunk."

Russianator, "One of the most disgusting beers ever, but one of the best cars. And yes, Bobby is on my list twice-- he kicked ass."

Champ, "That gold paint shined nicely."



Dick Trickle, American icon.



Also earning 15 points on our countdown, the Dick Trickle #90 Heilig Myers Furniture car.

Boss, "Dick Trickle...his mom and dad didn't think that one through."

Poncho, "Awesome name, horrible sponsor. The name alone vaults him into the top spot."

"Ain't nothin' Rusty 'bout him."


The yellow and black Rusty Wallace MGD car also earned 15 points.

Boss, "Black/gold, enough said." Editor's note: Boss is a rabid Steelers fan.

Poncho, "Crips. Cold. Clean. This black and gold #2 car was the Car Ramrod of the Winston Cup Circuit. Rusty didn't give a damn who you were and he would run you over in style. Heading into the '90s he would eventually switch over to the blue and white of Miller Lite, but we had that black dagger to remember the good old days of MGD and Sir Rusty Wallace."

Champ, "Loved this car, but I was torn....Rusty's Kodiak car almost got my vote.




Legend Cale Yarborough's 28 Hardees Car finds its way into the 5 spot as well.

Captain, "Half orange + half white = all awesome. Still love watching the fight between him and Allison. Legendary driver, one of my favorites."

Poncho, "Cale Yarborough is racing. This sonfa bitch traded blows with many of NASCAR's elite back in the day. He drove the Hardees car, which was the precursor of Chick-Fil-A generation down in the dirty. He was also in Smokey and the Bandit and in a couple episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard."

Russianator, "Not enough people named Cale anymore."

You can't post the Rusty MGD car without the video of him flipping at Daytona:
