Kyle Larson to drive houndstooth car at Talladega (Photo)

Hey look, it's another Alabama-themed car at Talladega.

Kyle Larson, the driver of the No. 42 Target Chevrolet, is running a different paint scheme in each of the final 10 races of the 2015 Sprint Cup Series season. The rotation is inspired by Target's plaid marketing push this fall, so Larson's plaid-inspired paint scheme for Sunday's race is houndstooth to honor the Crimson Tide.

Clint Bowyer drove an Alabama car at Talladega in the spring of 2012 after the Tide won the 2011 BCS Championship.

Larson won't be the only driver honoring an SEC team at Talladega on Sunday. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is a big Ole Miss fan and his driver's helmet for the weekend is designed like an Ole Miss football helmet. It looks pretty damn good.

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze drove the pace car at Talladega earlier in the year.

Maybe Stenhouse and Larson will have a bet during the race. We'd laugh if Stenhouse finished 43rd and Larson finished 37th or if Stenhouse beat Larson by six positions.
