The New Year's Bash at Dillon Motor Speedway draws Street Stock racers from across the country, getting the racing season underway at the South Carolina bullring. Many of those racers also show up with brand new looks on their cars for the upcoming season.

Many times, these new looks are also throwbacks, harkening back to past racing greats from both the NASCAR and short track racing world. With many of the retro-styled bodies in Street Stock racing, these throwbacks always stand out and have become a staple of the New Year's Bash.

Here are just a few of the throwbacks over recent years in the New Year's Bash.
