Military Paint Schemes
New variations on the military paint schemes have also been used throughout the years. The United States Army began sponsoring the 01 car owned by Dale Earnhardt Incorporated full time in 2003. For major anniversaries, the cars used a special camouflage design. The Army then went to Dale Earnhardt, Inc. for two seasons before joining Stewart Haas Racing in 2009 and is the primary sponsor of Ryan Newman's #39 for half the season as of now.
Although the schemes were not military based, several cars used patriotic paint schemes at Dover in 2001, the first race after the September 11th Attacks.
Often die-cast replicas of the paint scheme cars are produced for the collector market.

Famous quotes containing the words military, paint and/or schemes:
“Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“When shall we see poets born? After a time of disasters and great misfortunes, when harrowed nations begin to breathe again. And then, shaken by the terror of such spectacles, imaginations will paint things entirely strange to those who have not witnessed them.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“Science is a dynamic undertaking directed to lowering the degree of the empiricism involved in solving problems; or, if you prefer, science is a process of fabricating a web of interconnected concepts and conceptual schemes arising from experiments and observations and fruitful of further experiments and observations.”
—James Conant (1893–1978)
