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

My guess is money. Word is it costs a few grand for the teams to get special wraps for the Knoxville nationals and most non-winged teams probably would rather spend their limited budgets on making the cars go faster.

I've seen some very nice looking race cars hit the track and be stupid slow.

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!
