Notice how Jackson Storm and other next generation cars in Cars 3 also have numbers put forward

[evanmason]

I used to not like the numbers being forward but it’s kind of grown on me now and I also used to not like the camrys but I think they look super slick now

[MBCollections]

I wasn’t a huge fan at first but now I really like it. I think it works well on the next gen car, but I think whatever the next next gen cars, they should see if moving it back to the center is possible. But moving it forwards is so much better than backwards. That just looks awkward

[senorchunkynutyt]

Love these BTS shorts! I think they make the car look modern and sharp. Its also nice for the sponsors

[haydengault]

None of us knew what was going to happen to the number position after Kurt Busch's move to 23XI and the dawn of the next gen cars aswell.

[Aidansmid]

I like it, I think it's cool how it's only for the cup cars cause it like shows that you are at the top

[kenethmartinez]

I like them forward but I miss them in the middle

[Zoniax-zcxh]

I don’t care about the number placement, I just wish they would move them back to how they used to be for throwbacks

[drafting]

In the middle and bring back the old lugnuts 🏁👍

I don’t like the new number placement considering that most sponsors don’t use the entire space and we end up with weird empty patches that would have been filled had the numbers never been moved.

i didn’t like it at first, but i think the wrap designers have really adjusted quite well

[UTSpeedShow]

The forward numbers were needed for sponsor space, but I wish they weren’t borderline hugging the tire. They need to come back 6-8” and they’d be perfect

[ATW]

Moving the number forward elongates the car and the graphic sheet. it makes the car look modern and faster than the old gen.
moving the number back unbalanced the design, shortens the cars appearance, and looks crowded. great choice with moving them forward.

So like everything else it was about money at the end so why even ask fans if the partner was the final say either way. Because they didnt use the suggestion of the fans.

[stevezphone]

I liked the number in the middle best. On the door area. But I understand that sponsors are paying for it and they need their name BIG

[Jason-Hicks]

I didn’t care for it a first, but just like the NextGen car they’ve both grown on me. Now I honestly don’t miss the old cars.

[CRAWLER]

NASCAR values money over fans experience.

[elgoog]

What about having the team numbers be small(maybe 10-12in in height), but have them plentiful and placed sporadically around the car?

It'll leave plenty of room for way more creativity, both for the team and sponsors. Could probably have 2 big sponsor names.

However, a marketing team could likely see what I don't, since I'm not in marketing.

[BIGMIKEify]

The numbers look fine forwards but i am the person that says nascar should let the teams move the numbers around so the team and sponsor can have the look they are going for with the cars more

[ContentBoatLake-mwdx]

I miss the number in the middle I love looking at all the little mini stickers all over the car for sponsorship
