In NASCAR, Does the color of the car matter?

May be...

No, but sometimes the color of the number on top of the car matters to help the spotters out.

Only if it is Petty Blue.

no the teams can paint the cars whatever color they feel like. some sponsors want the car painted a specific color but it doesnt effect anything else. the only thing that matters is that they have the numbers on the car and the mandatory sponspor stickers.

Excellent question. Just ignore the children.
Even in American Football the colors mean a lot...but not in Nascar racing. Mostly we associate a cars "colors" with their primary sponsor, and we can find them easily on the track. But sponsors change, or more often, a special paint scheme will be run by the team...a lot like Tony Stewart in Saturday nites race. He had his normal Office Depot sponsor, but they ran a very different paint scheme. He normally runs a basic red car with a white "Office Depot" logo and a white#14. On saturday he ran a white car with rainbow crayons across the front. It was striking.
We usually associate our drivers with their primary sponsor colors but it is all about the drivers and not their sponsors. If they change sponsors for a race or run different colors, all we do spend a longer time finding them in the pack. :-)

Oh, and I've heard rumors about green cars and bad luck. I don't think thats true but what green and white car were you rooting for?

Colors are picked to match there main sponsor for that race/year. If its a special race, then youll see flashier paint jobs

the sponsor helps out the color, but on superspeedways, they trim the car sometimes with brighter colors

no matter to me i am colour blind

no the color means nothing. it is all about the number on the side of the car or the driver.

Yes, it all about the color. But some teams can't afford the fast colors.

Red is clearly faster than green...just ask Dale Earnhardt Jr.

NASCAR SUCKS WATCH WWE

Its all about the driver to me.Good question !

It dose to the sponsors that are paying for it to look a certain way

Sure didn't you know that some colors run faster than others? Where you been Bro?

I was watching a Green & White car and it turned out to be a Taxi
The color of the car makes no difference
The color of the driver makes no difference
It's all about the competition

Or is it all about the Driver.

no,its the driver that matters

Good question.

It doesn't matter really but colors help pick out the car on the track...spotters can see it better...we can watch our favorite if he is in a pack...
Can you imagine a car race going upwards of 200 mile an hour all packed together...and then have all the cars be the same color???

Its the driver that makes the car do what it does. A great driver can race a not so great car. But a great car would be wasted on a not so great driver.outlook command line switch
