This is a single new, un-used and not applied NASCAR 170-mph salute to the U.S. troops sticker that was developed for the 1991 Daytona 500.  This decal was envisioned for teams to apply to car exteriors and inside cars with racecams installed so troops abroad could see the message broadcasted during the race event.  The decal was not available to the public or mass produced.  This idea being proposed to NASCAR leadership led up to the generation of the full car painted schemes.  An example is listed in the listing pictures.  This is a rare item to own.

Contact the seller to receive the link for the newspaper article link for more background info:

This was acquired while the seller worked at the Petty Enterprises Museum in Level Cross, North Carolina.  The decal idea was devised by staff in the paint shop at Petty Enterprises.  It has been stored in a smoke and pet free home.  This item will come with a COA issued by the seller. 

The 1991 race on Feb 17th race had five cars which beard the logos and color schemes of the five branches of service and was the first event to highlight alternate paint schemes on stock cars in this way.

Driver, Car, and Service highlighted for background and not included in the listing:

  • Alan Kulwicki`s #7 car was the U.S. Army Ford,
  • Buddy Baker`s car was the U.S. Marines Pontiac,
  • Greg Sack's car was the U.S. Navy Chevrolet,
  • Mickey Gibb's car was the U.S. Air Force Pontiac, and
  • Dave Marci`s car was the U.S. Coast Guard Chevrolet. 

The decal is five inches by five inches with five colors.
