I was in a conversation over this last weekend asking why I dont have my name plastered on my windows like the others do... I really didnt have an answer, other than I never found a need for it..


This conversation has stuck with me and now I ask you.. Why do or dont you put your name on your car?

No Name for me. Most around here know me and my car anyways. And I prefer the cleaner look.

I drive mine on the street and it rarely sees a trailer. I think its super cheezy on a street car.

It helps get your name known and that helps attract sponsors, at least it used to before everyone ran out of money.

Keep everything spit polished if your looking for $$ AND WORK HARD. tHE SPONSORS CAN SEE THAT.

I put my name on the window hoping the same guy will show up to drive, but so far that hasn't worked and each driver(me)keeps finding new ways to screw up and loose!

We started entering cars( car number's T/D *** SC****) not the driver,sometimes I will drive all of our cars at the beginning of the race,and if we are lucky enough to get all of them a few rounds I can't make it back in time to keep driving all of them.The rules state one driver can drive as many cars as he enters,but 2 drivers can't enter and drive the same car.Thats means the same car can't be entered and driven by 2 different drivers the same round.

I have my name on mine but was hesitant to put it on because it could potentially help thieves.

I don't want to, and one can pronounce my last name anyway.

Being a tribute car, we have the original driver's name on the door and Kevin's name on the window.
