nascar glory


so i have this client that i've been working with as their graphic designer for the past couple of years. they've created an all natural energy drink named FUBAR. i've helped them with their logo, packaging, sales materials and am currently developing art for several other products. they've had a lot of swell stuff happening lately and i have been super busy.

last week i got a call at the end of the day for an urgent design project. FUBAR needed a design for a possible spot as a NASCAR sponsor. i spent that night working with the our marketing guy and sent a couple of ideas off around midnight for the new paint job. NASCAR designer? really, me?

well, the #08 FUBAR sprint cup car made it's debut today at the north carolina speedway. something i designed made it on national television? check it out.



































the driver is tony raines and there is all kinds o' drama about his new sponsor on his message board. apparently there is one fan that would rather have him be in the "patron tequila" car (hum.....) because the term FUBAR is so controversial. (if you don't know what it means... ask any former WWII vet if you dare).

but, i guess i did alright because somebody else said that the "car has a nice color scheme, hope they can back it up."

FUBAR, NASCAR...headpin. racher? i....kick....ass.
