Actually bought that die cast too only because of the scheme and it was on the clearance bin for like 20 dollars

Thank you. This made my day... Borla exhaust, with associate sponsorship by Lil Sweet and Dr. Pepper

Jones to the Nemco Burger King #14 confirmed
Edit. It was DEI not NEMCO
32
Underrated paint scheme

The NEMCO BK car was #87. The #14 was DEI.

I've been trying to tell y'all (and speak it into existence):
Jones -> 24
Byron -> 48
And yeah blah blah blah sponsorship whatever, Mr. H can figure it out. Let's be real crazier things have happened.
29
I'm okay with this.

I agree heās been giving these hints for a while now.
3
For better or for worse, I just want to know where Jones ends up next year. It feels like a roller coaster of emotions
28
There is this
But I'd love to see him at Hendrick
25
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Kingsford as a new scheme with flames in it as well? Wouldn't be the first time a Kingsford scheme had flames in it.
6
Hear me out here. Liberty U may be scaling back sponsorship, and that (I believe?) is Byrons only personal sponsor, which means sliding him in the 48 could make sense. Put Jones in the 24.
That or Erik is trolling us all and having a hell of time with it, but man these cryptic tweets sure hint at it. Where thereās smoke thereās fire.
22
That's what I'm saying. He posted that photo of him as a kid at a Home Depot event building a #20 Stewart car while wearing a Gordon jacket and Hendrick hat. His pinned Tweet about taking the Vette out for a cruise is there, but I'm not reading too much into that. Then this tweet. Something is happening. I think he's going to the 24 and Willy B is going to the 48. The man is dropping some massive hints.
7
Iād love it but what sponsor does Jones bring to the 24? Does he have resers or is that Gibbs too
4
Do we know if Stanley/Dewalt/Craftsman are staying?
Iirc Rheem is moving over with Chris
3
Wish I knew. Iām assuming heāll have Axalta for some races if he goes. Maybe some hendrick autoguard. Some unifirst maybe. Otherwise I just hope and pray lol

....and flames.
4
Jones is just trolling r/nascar.
21
He had a clause added to his new contract specifically stating that the contract could not be announced til the very last day of the season, to extend his weeks of trolling.
10
Time to go for gold in jumping to conclusions.
12
Both the 37 and 24 have flames so this doesnāt tell us much
13
But one is definitely more iconic/well known. I didn't know the 37 had flames.
6
the 37 doesnāt usually have flames and itās not known for flames or anything so I would doubt him bringing up flames would be relevant to the 37. Then again maybe he took some notes from gragson and he signs in xfinity lol who knows
5
Jones to the 37, Louisiana Hot Sauce scheme
10
That was a 1 off scheme tho ..but the dig/reach was noticed on that
3
Dear Lord please let it be the 24
9
Please be jones at HMS
9
Part of me hopes this is just trolling/bullshitting and he's lurking this sub on a non-verified account laughing his ass off.
8
Maybe you are erik jones.
10
Nah...
3
Sounds like something erik jones would say
7
If I were EJ would I support Bell to the 20? I'M GLAD BELL IS IN THE 20 NEXT YEAR!
4
The new compact MAX*XTREME line is nice though, just saying.
2
They do make you go faster lol
5
Take it how you will š¤·š»āāļø

Very nice design on that I must say šš»

Good to see that he drove a Nervo quarter midget

Honestly ...I think heās got a deal done or he has had one done for a bit, thatās why his silly season has been so quiet so far (I could totally be wrong and he could have jack shit too).
As far as HMS goes, yeah heās done a lot of these posts that are āthrowback to my young daysā with subtle nods towards things Hendrick related. It could very well be heās joining HMS but canāt announce it because like rick said they want to focus on the playoffs knowing the 48 seat is gonna be a major headline when it gets announced. Erik could very well be keeping his card close to his chest on it and thatās why we havenāt heard much and heās been saying āidk what Iām doing yetā.
Now my tinfoil hat may be on too tight but what if the larson mentions are just being used to bamboozle people into not even thinking about jones for that ride? This could be one of the greatest trolls in nascar history if thatās the case.
My final stance - Erikās going to HMS, but not the 48, heās getting a different car and one of the in house drivers already is taking the famed 48. I donāt think ally goes with jones rather they go to Byron or bowman instead.

Itās known that Gordon and Mr Hendrick have always wanted to pursue Larson, I saw an article back from 2014 where it said Jeff Gordon was disappointed they couldnāt sign Larson to HMS. Jeff Gordon also had high appraisal of Larson, as well as Mr. Hendrick, heās always been interested, he has the opportunity to grab him for way cheaper now. Mr Hendrick knows that his versatility is generational, you donāt see drivers that can get in anything and wheel the thing anymore, the last drivers who could do that were Gordon and Smoke.
Iām gonna be honest, Jones has had JGR equipment when Toyota was at the top of their game.. and he hasnāt done much aside from 2 wins. Not only that but he missed the playoffs again. Jones is still young, he unfortunately didnāt perform when he had the opportunity thatās why heās getting the boot and being replaced by C. Bell who shows promise.. Toyota has been looking for a driver like C Bell ever since they let go of Larson, each team dreams to have a driver that versatile.
Erik Jones is probably about get the Suarez treatment. Erik Jones who honestly if he was the guy they signed or were planning on to they would have announced it, like you said Mr H is waiting for the playoffs to not create a distraction.. Erik Jones isnāt a distraction if they announced him. Kyle Larson is, the 48 is going to be the final piece of silly season to be honest, when thereās so much internal and credible sources that they report āindustry executives believe HMS is Kyle Larsonās rideā now I could be wrong, anything can still happen, but right now it sounds like HMS is highly interested in Larson.

I was listening to the John Boy & Billy show on the radio yesterday morning. Every Thursday they have Doug Rice, the President of PRN, on to discuss NASCAR. He said that it looks like the 48 is Kyle Larson's ride, and that Kyle has done everything that NASCAR has asked of him. FWIW
1
Yeah he has done everything. But he hasnāt reapplied for reinstatement, the way heās doing it is behind closed doors working with nascar. Iām sure if heās working with. Nascar he probably has asked nascar the what if I reapply for reinstatement, will I get it? Iām sure nascar told me him yes because heās setting up a deal.. the longer Larson waits to reapply the better it looks on nascar, HMS and himself.

Obviously confirms what we all know.
Byron to the 48 to drive his childhood hero car.
Jones to the 24 to reclaim the flames.
/s (maybe not?)
This also gets Chad back on the box of the 48
48 Byron is tight
Thereās the slogan
reclaim the flame
That was immediately my thought. Who else has flames on their car?
Harvick Mobil 1 ?
Yeah, i should clarify āopen flaming seatsā lol... unless Petty is adding flames š
[deleted]
Bowyer's Mobil 1 scheme
Maybe Kingsford flames on the #37?
Kingsford sponsors Bubba Wallace, so it must mean asecond car for Jordan-Hamlin.
I'm fine with this, get someone with some emotion in the 24 car.
Erik Jones ain't that lol
Compare their first wins (both at the second Daytona race, oddly enough) Erik Jones was WAY more emotional and interesting when he won vs Byron who was pretty relaxed IMO.
[deleted]
The audacity of someone having his own opinion
How dare u Erik
oh noes fast man liek trump???
Wtf my favorite driver is based and redpilled. I like him even more now.
[removed]
So all of Byronās sponsors move to the 48 and Ally moves to the 24? Because Erik Jones has absolutely 0 sponsors coming with him
Maaaan but I really like Byron in the 24 not gonna lie
