One of the coolest and most iconic paintschemes in the field during the 1992 season. And this leads to some interesting things discovered a few days ago about the next entry, the 29 car!Davey Allison is complete! Feel free to click on the image to expand its size. Sammi drew Spot for me (from the 7up logo). It's in such a tiny spot on the car, I added spot to my logo so he could be seen.
Other than Spot which Sammi did, I've redrawn pretty much this entire car. Created new logos for the big T & circle, new Havoline(s) (hood & quarter/rear), New trunk 'Texaco System 3', new numbers, new CCD Transport logo, new 7up logos, & new Autolite logo.
Anyways, I'll come back to the other 27 cars, once research can be a bit more accurate. I haven't really looked for anything on the red car, yet. I have sent out photo requests to a couple different folks and response has been slow. So, we'll circle back.
Edit** - @Lastlap threatened to rough me up if I didn't add the jack post tape I had forgotten. So, I added it.

We are talking about Diamond Ridge Racin. In 1992, the team participated in just a couple of races. Obviously those races were Sonoma and Phoenix The driver in both occasions was John Krebs, who finished 31st at Sonoma and 23rd at Phoenix.
On the Sonoma race, Krebs started with the number 99 on a Pontiac. Luckily enough, he was passed by Davey Allison during the race. At Phoenix, he started with the number 29 on a Chevy.
As a reference, I was unbelievably lucky to find that the 29 car was made in a 1992 Winston Cup Series carset but... For NASCAR Racing 3! (available on retrosim.e-monsite.com)
Luckily, there are some more pictures on Google of Diamond Ridge Racing with a clearer vision of the paintscheme base, even though they are from the 1990/1993-1994 seasons. Apart from the color of the roof and the change of the name from Diamond Ridge Racing to Diamond Ridge Motorsports, the rest seems to be pretty much unchanged.
