Why doesn't someone do some skin themes on NASCAR?

Why don't you do some skin themes on NASCAR? That's what skinning's all about. You want a particular skin and it doesn't exist, so you make it.

One of our favorite skinners is a speed devil himself. Try this one: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=GSXR&library=1&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&image1.x=19&image1.y=15

The fastest skin in the collection. OK, it is not a NASCAR theme. But a bike theme is maybe close enough?

The problem with being specific is using the logos and trademarks. NASCAR logos are copyrighted. If they were used in a skin, and permission were not granted by the original copyright holder, the skinner would be in breach of copyright, even if they loved NASCAR and only wished to celebrate it's existance. Of course, if you wished to merely imply the *feeling* of racing without ever mentioning or using copyrighted materials, that would be fine.

There was a whole F1 suite made a while ago. Quite impressive. It can still be found on DA. Here's the link to the WB skin: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation.php?id=26340
