First Video Footage
Here's a look at what the car will look like once it hits the track this weekend. Blaney will be one of the few drivers who will pay tribute to Bryant and once fans saw this, they instantly were in love.
Time to Win
Another fan thinks Blaney has a chance to win because of the Bryant tribute. Blaney is still in the early stages of his career and he has won three races and finished in the Top 10, 60 times out of 164 events. He finished second in the Daytona 500 earlier this month.
Honoring the Bryant Family
Another Twitter user loves how Blaney is honoring the Bryant Family as well as the families of the other victims of the helicopter crash. This is a good way to end an emotional week as Bryant and Gianna were remember in a Celebration of Life Memorial on Monday at the Staples Center.
Went Hard
It looks like the plan was the go all out with the car and Blaney's team did just that. Bryant made an impact on all sports which is why there have been a number of tributes throughout the entire month.
The Fan is All-In
This fan loves how Bryant was with his kids, so he's all-in with the design. The Lakers great was the father of four daughters and showed support to all of them. That is one of the many reasons why his death was heartbreaking."
See it in Person
This fan will be at the Auto Club 400, which means she will be able to see the car up close and personal. NASCAR was also be doing their part in remembering Bryant as they will have a few tributes throughout the weekend including the No. 24 painted in the infield.
Not a fan
It's clear this Twitter user does not like the scheme. Based on other responses, this fan is in the minority and while it's a different look, it's for a good cause and it's honoring of the legendary figures in all of sports.
