On receipt of a minimum of 350 prepaid applications and a design therefor, together with signed releases from the driver, his team, and sponsors permitting the use of such design and all elements thereof without cost, including the payment of royalties, to the Commonwealth, the Commissioner may develop and issue one or more series of special license plates bearing the name of a specific professional stock car driver and the race car number and color scheme used by that driver. Each driver-specific series developed and issued under this subsection shall be subject to the requirements of this subsection. In the event that a race car number, color scheme, or both, change for a driver with a currently issued series, a new series for that driver may be issued subject to the requirements of this subsection.
