In 1999 Turner announced that in addition to Mellings
primary sponsor, Cartoon Network. That there would be two
more sponsors that would paint the car in selected races.
Those two sponsors were TBS and World Championship
Wrestling. Thats where this car came in. This was WCW's
first design in which was the last time we saw the old
WCW/nWo style. WCW unlike Cartoon Network and TBS was
allowed to have three different designs, and this was
their first. The car was revealed at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway, and certainly caught the attention of many wrestling fans.
The car was a dark black with lightning all over it. The
hood featured the WCW/nWo logo with lightning and the
Melling logo. Both sides were the same so im only going to
describe one side. The side had a awsome purple number 9
with lightning, and above the rear tire was the same logo
that was on the hood, the TV pannel promoted WCW.COM. You
can see pictures of this awsome car at the
WCW/nWo #9 Picture Page.
So far this car has only raced one race in which it finished
31st place, and unfortunetly that is all it will race.
Although it didn't do that good racing it still looked cool,
And this is a car that both wrestling and Nadeau fans alike
will remember.
