Roush Racing initially planned to field 3 full time teams in the 1998 NASCAR Craftsman Truck series season. Joe Ruttman would drive the #50, Greg Biffle in the #80 and Chuck Bown in the #99. However after the first race, a major sponsor on the #50 team pulled out and as a result the #80 team was culled. Biffle moved to the #50 with sponsor Grainger and Ruttman moved to the #99, while Bown went back to being a test driver for the team. Biffle would go on to win Rookie of the Year in 1998, a Truck championship in 2000 and remained with the team for his entire career until his retirement from full time competition in 2016.
I can't see why it was necessary to cut his head off.

I understand. Still think it was rather odd on the part of the creator.

The original Red Bull F1 test livery ahead of the 2005 Season.
I think that livery was used for the very first test in November 2004, literally a few days after RB finalised the purchase of Jaguar. In fact that is actually a Jaguar R5 with a quick livery job done. It may also have been used at Catalunya in January when the car was visibly a little change but the livery was similar.
Which makes it a very rare pretty much one off livery only seen at Catalunya 2004
This angle shows it to be the Jag
This was I think at Catalunya in January 2005 with the car changes at the rear end / side protrusions.
This is the RB1 below at the unveiling of the RB1 at Jerez in early February 2005

Lotus ditched the JPS colours and ran Gunnar Nilsson in this one off red livery to promote Imperial tobacco at the 1977 Japanese Grand Prix.
Not sure if the 2020 all black Renault test livery has appeared here yet. Apologies if it has.
I already included the red Nilsson Lotus but neglected to mention where and when it was used.
The black 2020 Renault test livery hadn't been mentioned until now.
The 1993 Scuderia Italia Lola started off in just the right kind of livery for a car of which the late Michele Alboreto's first impression was "We're dead!"
This car supposedly driven by Travis Kvapil appeared in two NASCAR video games, NASCAR 2005: Chase For The Cup and NASCAR SimRacing. It never appeared on track, so where did it come from?
During 2004, a team called "Bang! Racing" was intending to attempt some Cup races late in the season. It was co-owned by Larry McReynolds and carried the #28 as a tribute to the late Davey Allison, of whom Larry was the crew chief for in the early 1990s. The sponsor, "Nutzz.com" was created by Bang! Racing themselves that gave fans rewards for interacting with sponsors. The team seemed to vanish as suddenly as it appeared and its appearance in those two video games are the only proof of its existence. Coincidentally Kvapil would end up driving the #28 car in the Cup series in 2008 and early 2009, before that team ceased operations due to lack of sponsorship.
The final meeting of the 2012 British Touring Car Championship was the only time the Team HARD Honda Civic raced in a livery that wasn't predominantly pink and green. It was also the only time Aaron Williamson drove the car.
