Three designs have been selected as winners of the Design 66 Challenge, sponsored by Avery Dennison Graphics & Reflective Products, Painesville, Ohio. “Salute the Soldiers,” a design by Daniel Wayne Logue, was selected as the winning entry—chosen by NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Steve Wallace, the Rusty Wallace Racing team and by sponsor 5-Hour Energy. More than 120 entries from across the United States and Canada were submitted to the contest.
The first-place design—an homage to our soldiers depicting the popular markings used on U.S. military aircraft in the World War II era—will be printed on Avery MPI 1005 Supercast film and installed on the No. 66 5-Hour Energy Toyota Camry for the Nov. 20 Nationwide Series season finale in Homestead, Fla. Logue and his guest will be on hand in the pit to see Salute the Soldiers in action on the track and to meet the Rusty Wallace Racing drivers—Steve Wallace and Brendan Gaughan.
“Landshark,” designed by Shawn Magee, took second place in the contest. Logue, also took the third place spot for his design, “5 Hour Power.” The top ten cars were determined the most popular by visitors voting on the website. Designers could submit more than one entry to the contest.
