Justin Caroll scores his first CARS Late Model Stock Tour victory and in
the process finally gives the iconic Heilig-Myers #90 Ford look that
Junie Donlavey's Cup team fielded for years its first victory. The
sponsorship was most definitely part of the throwback look,
Heilig-Myers' chain of furniture stores went out of business in 2000 not
long after ending its NASCAR sponsorships. Caroll's car replicated the
#90 that Dick Trickle drove in 1998 during the company's last season of
full-time NASCAR involvement. Caroll's IBCI sponsorship was real though,
the company is his regular sponsor this season on. His cars are normally
fielded as the #57.

The closing laps of this one were a classic Hickory barnburner as Justin
Carroll, Austin McDaniel (driving a #12 with a throwback gold-and-white
1988 Bobby Allison Miller High Life paint scheme on it), and Anthony
Alfredo battled for the win. The trio got three-wide at times going for
the win before the leading McDaniel clipped Alfredo with five laps to
go, they stayed out of trouble but the loss of momentum allowed Carroll
to speed past for the win.

Carroll's tribute to short track legend Dick Trickle on his #90 extended
beyond the paint scheme. Inside the car the team put a cigarette lighter
in reference to Trickle's famous habit of smoking during races. Carroll
said it felt like Dick was on board with him during this race.

Deac McCaskill ran this race with a Dale Earnhardt-inspired
blue-and-yellow Wrangler car. His #3 replicated the Intimidator's 1984
paint scheme.

The 12M didn't have any Hendrick Honda logos on it, from photos; it had
'McDaniel Racing' logos in the old Miller Genuine Draft style.

Josh Berry and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. gave their JR Motorsports Chevrolet a
special look for this race as Berry's car was changed over from its
normal #88 to #38 to pay tribute to Junebug's sister Kelley Earnhardt
Miller, replicating the #38 Mom-N-Pops Camaro late model Ms. Earnhardt
raced during her racing career that stretched from 1994 to 1996. Kelley
Earnhardt raced a lot her at Hickory so it was a fitting choice for the
throwback race.

Landon Huffman had a cool throwback look for this one as his normal
blue-and-white #75 Toyota was rewrapped into a yellow-and-white #37
Toyota to replicate the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series car his father Robert
Huffman had so much success with, they even reused the apple on the door
#37 graphics Robert had back in the day when an apple juice company
sponsored him. While Landon Huffman's car was a modern Toyota Camry late
model the front of the car was given decals to replicate the grill and
branding of a Toyota Celica, the sporty model that Robert Huffman drove
to much success in the Dash series during the earliest days of Toyotas
NASCAR involvement in the early 2000s.

Tommy Lemons, Jr.'s #27 for this race had a throwback look inspired by
Rusty Wallace's 1990 Winston Cup car. His sponsors, like McDaniel's
entry, were also written out in a Miller Genuine Draft-inspired font.
