Paint Scheme Grades-March 27, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Corey LaJoie #7 NFL Alumni Association/Folds of Honor Chevy Camaro-This is just a mediocre scheme, not much worth noting. The color scheme is OK, as is the design. C

Kyle Busch #18 M&Ms Messages Toyota Camry-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Christopher Bell #20 Sirius/XM Toyota Camry-The newer, cleaner design is a much needed improvement over last year’s design. Add in a great color scheme, and you have an A scheme.

Matt DiBenedetto #21 Menards/Maytag Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Austin Cindric #33 Pirtek Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same F grade.

Ryan Preece #37 Planters Chevy CamaroThe white and yellow designs are a major downgrade from last year. It’s still a decent scheme, so I’ll give it a B

Anthony Alfredo #38 Georgia Peanut Commission Ford Mustang-I’m not really into peanuts, but this scheme looks great! The peanut motif works, and the color scheme is great. A

Timmy Hill #66 Supreme Transportation Group Toyota Camry-The only good thing about this is that I like the shades of blue and silver. Other than that, this is a terrible scheme. The stripes of over designed, and the orange doesn’t work. D

Stewart Friesen #77 Halmar International Chevy Camaro-Another example of a great color scheme with a bad design scheme. They cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Shane Golobic #78 Elk Grove Ford/NOS Energy Drink Ford Mustang-Even with a decent color scheme, the car is so over designed, that I can’t give this anything higher than an F.

Just Some Random Stuff This Week

By David G. Firestone

We’re going off topic this week…kind of. I’ve been wanting to do a column based on what I call “random items,” or items that don’t fit into any other category. Let’s get started.

Further proof that wine is becoming a standard in auto racing is that Mario Andretti, Richard Childress, and Jeff Gordon, all own wineries or vineyards. Benny Parsons owned one before he passed away. Many other athletes own them as well, including Wayne Gretzky, Valeri Bure, Mike Ditka, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, and Charles Woodson. In addition to his successful iced tea/lemonade drink, Arnold Palmer has his own line of wines. Wine really is mainstream, and is popular in auto racing.

Most tracks will sell event branded pint glasses, but I came across these wine glasses from The 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona. These lead crystal glasses are about nine inches tall, and have the Rolex 24 logo printed on the side with some very nice etchings on the Rolex logo. These are high quality wine glasses. Lead crystal is used on wine glasses because of the strength, clarity, ease of etching, and, interestingly, the tone made during a toast.

The 1973 Schafer 500 was a race in the 1973 USAC Champ Car Series. It was a forgettable race, as evidenced by the fact that unused tickets for the race, especially the time trials are easy to find on eBay. This set of 10 tickets from the time trials, is a set of examples. For their age, they are in good condition.

As regular viewers of my YouTube channel know, I love doing box breaks. I especially love doing 1994 Finish Line Gold box breaks, as that was my favorite set to collect growing up. Sometimes you get autographs, sometimes you get phone cards, some of which are pictured below.

Moving on from the racing stuff. I’m not the biggest basketball fan, but I do watch occasionally. I do also occasionally collect basketball stuff. One example is this Derrick Rose swatch card. The card is in good condition.

At my old job, there was a Tyrus Thomas autograph signing, and I got this Chicago Bulls Starbury issued sneaker.

I occasionally find trading card sheets. One such example is this 1998 Upper Deck Black Diamond sheet.

This crystal trophy was presented to Nick Anderson by the Orlando Sentinel, and Goodings. Anderson was awarded the trophy as the fan favorite in 1997-1998.

That was fun, I should do this more often. Next Friday Feature, a firesuit!

Paint Scheme Grades-March 20, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Quin Houff #00 Mount-N-Lock Chevy Camaro-I really like the mountain motif here, and the gray-scale color scheme works well. This gets an A in my book.

Kevin Harvick #4 Jimmy Johns Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A- grade.

Tyler Reddick #8 ALSCO Uniforms Chevy Camaro-This is a great look, especially when compared to last year’s scheme. This gets an A.

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Richmond Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

James Davison #15 Smart Sanitizer Chevy Camaro-My only complaint is that the designs on the blue are pointless. Other than that, this is a solid scheme. A

Chris Buescher #17 Roush Performance Stage 3 Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Kyle Busch #18 Stanley Toyota Camry-Same scheme as #20, same A grade.

Bubba Wallace #23 McDonalds Toyota Camry-I think the white is bad, and the diagonal logos are awful. Still, it’s a solid scheme, so it gets a B.

Ryan Preece #37 Scotts Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as last year, same D grade.

Anthony Alfredo #38 MDS Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B+ grade.

Ross Chastain #42 Tubi TV Chevy Camaro-This is a good design scheme, counter-acted with a bad design scheme. The two cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger/Energizer Chevy Camaro-This template is a solid C, even with matching sponsors.

Josh Bilicki #52 Junction Fuels Ford Mustang-I normally don’t say this, but get rid of the fade at the rear. Also, the checkered flag motif needs to go. Other than that, this isn’t bad, so it gets a B.

Garrett Smithley #53 Turf Sellers Chevy Camaro-A smooth look, with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Paint Scheme Grades-March 16, 2021

By David G. Firestone

Austin Dillon #3 BetMGM Chevy Camaro-I love the color scheme, the shades of gold and red really worked. I hate the design scheme, it’s awful. The two cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Ryan Newman #6 Wyndham Rewards Ford Mustang-Toning down the designs might get this car to an A, but with the designs, this gets an A-.

Corey LaJoie #7 Built Bar Chevy Camaro-I’m really tired of seeing Corey LaJoie’s face on his hood. From this point onwards, anytime a driver puts his face on the hood, it’s an automatic F.

Tyler Reddick #8 Quartz Hill Records Chevy Camaro-My only complaint here is that there are too many stripes. A-

Tyler Reddick #8 BetMGM Chevy Camaro-Same scheme as #3, same C grade.

Aric Almirola #10 Smithfiled Power Bites Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Aric Almirola #10 Pit Boss Grills Ford Mustang-The silver side design needs to go. Without the silver side design, this gets an A. With it, this gets a C.

Ryan Blaney #12 Menard’s/Pennzoil Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B- grade.

Joey Gase #15 NV Donor Chevy Camaro-The designs aren’t really needed here, otherwise this would get an A. A-

Kyle Busch #18 Ethel M Chocolates Toyota Camry-Gray with chocolate will always work very well. Plus the car isn’t over designed, so it gets an A.

Bubba Wallace # 23 Columbia Sportswear Chevy Camaro-The blue works, the camo doesn’t, and they cancel this out, so this gets a C.

Ryan Preece #37 Natural Light Seltzer Chevy Camaro-The color scheme and fade work perfectly, and the designs work too. This gets an A.

Erik Jones #43 Medallion Bank Chevy Camaro-Another example of a good color scheme being countered with an awful design scheme. They cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger Chevy Camaro-Even a plain Kroger scheme doesn’t get a better grade. This is just a meh template. C

Alex Bowman #48 Ally/Best Friends Animal Society Chevy Camaro-I love the fade, but the color scheme makes me sick. They cancel each other out, and this gets a C.

Josh Bilicki #52 Dollar Loan Center Ford Mustang-A good color scheme, and a good design scheme will always earn an A.

Garrett Smithley #53 Trophy Tractor Chevy Camaro-New sponsor for 2021, same as #15. F

Same scheme as #15, same F grade.

Timmy Hill #66 Ford Mustang-A smooth look, with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Timmy Hill #66 LasVegas.net Ford Mustang-A smooth look, with a great color scheme will always earn an A.

Justin Haley, #77 Nations Guard Toyota Camry-I like the dark blue, that’s the only good thing I can say. I hate the design, I hate the shades of green and pink, and I think the car would look worse without the black. D

BJ McLeod #78 Surface Sunscreen Ford Mustang-I love the blue, I love the water motif, I can’t say anything bad about this scheme. A
