Throwing It Back: DWC Goes Retro for Darlington’s Throwback Weekend

Dust off your dial-up modems and crank up the 2000s playlist because we’re taking a trip back in time! On April 5th, Distributor Wire & Cable is hitting the track at Darlington Raceway for NASCAR’s Throwback Weekend, and we’re doing it in style—with a tribute to one of the most iconic paint schemes of the early 2000s.

A Sweet Throwback to Jeff Green’s Nesquik Ride

For this special race, Leland Honeyman Jr. will be driving a retro-inspired No. 70 car featuring a design straight out of NASCAR history—a throwback to Jeff Green’s legendary Nesquik paint scheme. If you were a NASCAR fan in the early 2000s, you probably remember Green wheeling that bright yellow car with chocolate splashes, making it one of the most recognizable rides on the track. Now, DWC is bringing that energy back, mixing a bit of nostalgia with some serious horsepower.
