NASCAR in the Air
Air Asia recently unveiled their Williams Formula One paint scheme on one of their aircraft, which got me thinking how cool would it be to see a NASCAR paint scheme on a U.S. air carrier.

Since 1982 when Piedmont Airlines sponsored Ricky Rudd’s No. 3 and then Terry Labonte’s No. 44, the airline industry hasn’t had a large presence in NASCAR.

There were talks last season that NASCAR was looking to partner with Jet Blue.

Like NASCAR, Southwest Airlines currently utilizes the special paint scheme on their planes with the designs including Shamu, the NBA and many paying tribute to U.S. States.

But if one U.S. air carrier was to partner with a NASCAR team which car design would you like to see on a plane?

I think a Jeff Gordon plane would be the best choice. One of the most recognized drivers and what plane wouldn’t look cool with flames painted on the side.

Southwest would also be my pick to partner with NASCAR or to sponsor a team.

After all they recently failed inspection.
