The Decade's Worst NASCAR Paint Schemes

FanHouse's friends at AOL Sports are compiling a list of the worst uniforms ever. Because they're our friends and the subject matter lends itself to hilarity, we thought we'd join in the fun. We don't get too see too much of the drivers' uniforms in NASCAR, so we set our designs on their cars. Here's our look at the worst paint schemes in recent history.

I don't consider myself to be a connoisseur of fine art, but I'm down with the work of cosmic art innovator Peter Max--even have a signed print of my own that hangs behind me as I write this. But Max's rainbow hippie designs proved to be a little too psychedelic for a stock car

2007 again drove home the point that rainbow pastels should not come in contact with a race car:

NASCAR Still Trying to Kick the Habit

NASCAR, which has been synonymous with smoking for decades (Hi ... remember when the premier series was sponsored by Winston?), continues their recently adopted effort to kick the habit.

This weekend's Busch Series race, The Nicorette 300, will be dedicated in memory of NASCAR legend Benny Parsons, who died January 16 of complications from lung cancer. BP was originally slated to be Grand Marshal for the race.

In celebration of BP, family of the 1973 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion will be honored and recognized as Grand Marshals of the Nicorette 300. Parsons' brother, Phil Parsons, a former Cup driver and current Speed TV broadcaster will represent the family at the race serving as Grand Marshal.

To honor Parsons' life, fans attending the Nicorette 300 will take part in a "Celebration of BP" during pre-race ceremonies. NEXTEL Vision will air a special video montage featuring highlights from Parson's racing and broadcasting career as well as memories from many of his friends within NASCAR. NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, Busch, and Craftsman Truck Series racecars will carry a special "BP-72" contingency sticker throughout the Nicorette 300 weekend to remember Parsons and his car number "72."

Speaking of remembering Parsons and his #72 car, the Parsons family would like some memorabilia back. Where have you gone with his stuff, Chris Politis?
