Professional painters used to letter race cars in the early days of NASCAR with a variety of colors and brushes of various shapes and sizes. It was the way it was done, wherever the NASCAR Grand National tour visited short tracks or superspeedways. The local sign painters were on standby ready to help get cars ready when last minute sponsors needed their names and logos put on their quarter panels and hoods. Historians Ben White and Jerry Bonkowski discuss the way cars were hand lettered with one of the very best, NASAR historian and veteran race car painter Buz McKim, as well as other subjects including the origins of No. 76 during podcast No. 76 of "A Lifetime in NASCAR."
