Post away! Let’s seeum
Losing an argument with the forum trying to reply. Anyway, Roberts died in 1964. I think it was over a decade before a major stockcar team used green in their color scheme. I could have painted my first stock car green but painting it green to defy superstition was even sillier than following the superstition.

That was true up until the 60's when sponsorship $$$$$ meant way more than lame superstition.
Roberts died in 1964. I think it was Darrell Waltrip that broke the green superstition, maybe with a gatoraid car that was green and white. Been a long time and my memory ain't as sharp as it could be. There were a few green cars in local racing when I started, no serious racers had green on their cars. Mine were close to STP red. My benchrest gun was the same color and my racehorse was a sorrel.
I can't think of one good reason to have anything green that I am competing with. A multi-million dollar sponsor might change my mind. Some people did lose out on pretty major sponsorships for refusing to drive a car with green on it.
