A tribute to Tommy - 7NY

[Howie]

Kevin "Bono" Mannion and Gary Putnam along with a bunch of other transplanted (to NC) modified fans built a modified as a tribute to Tom Baldwin. Tony Stewart was supposed to drive it at NHIS but was unable to. JJ Yeley qualified the car fifth and will drive the car in Saturday's race.

Mary took this photo of the car and crew.

Would that logo on the left rear quarter panel be a JR Motorsports logo? If so, what is their interest in the car?
Awesome tribute

[W. J.]

Kevin 'Bono' Mannion is Martin Truex's crew chief, therefore the JR motorsports connection.

I also saw another angle of the car and on the side if the hood is a logo that might make one want to believe the motor came out of the JR Motorsports shop, can anyone confirm this ? Also i think it is an awesome looking car, even though black is not my favorite color.

My buddy Zoom-Kitty sent me a couple of shots and I had no Idea who was driving or the story behind the ride, I think that is cool as SH++ would have loved to see Smoke wheel #7ny

Tell Mary "Great picture! Glad she was there and took the shot."

Can anyone identify the logos circled in this photo? I'm trying to do this car for the Simodified.com simulation and can't quite identify them. Thanks!

Tuck Nut- the one on top by the DEI logo might say Dale Earnhardt Inc. ??

That's a great tribute. I can't wait to see the 7NY on the track in person. I'm sure JJ will give it a good ride.

BTW Howie, that's a great picture of Lou you've got as your avatar. I do really miss the guy. I love going to the races, but he just made it so much more enjoyable.

Very cool looking car and a wonderful tribute.

I believe the top of the hood on the flat part is the engine size and weight.

[Tucknut]

Good eye, Tooner. Looks like that's exactly it. Thanks.

As for the other, my only guess so far is Mother's.

[Howie]

The upper sticker says "358CI 2810LBS" the other says "Burns Stainless". Sorry they had a rain cover on when I remembered to get a shot for you.

[Tucknut]

Thanks, Howie. That's perfect. You're a saint!
