Personally, it doesn't matter to me what color they are. They don't have to be pretty, just pretty damn fast.

Bobby Allen made a pretty good career running fast white cars that some might consider ugly.

Ballou tied a record for USAC sprint wins in a car that looked like hell and for years hardly anyone could beat Stanbrough in the generic Foxco 53

Karl Kinser said one day, when ask about his all white sprint car, he was preparing for Steve. I have never won a race because the car was pretty!
