Austin Cindric #2 Menard’s/Knauf Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Kyle Busch #8 Lenovo Chevy Camaro-A slight difference between last year and this year doesn’t really change anything. A

Ryan Blaney #12 Body Armor Ford Mustang-Very clean, very sharp, great color scheme, gets an A.

Jenson Button #15 Mobil 1 Ford Mustang-I like the basic, yet bold design, and the color scheme is great! A

J.J. Yeley #15 Barnett Southern Corporation Ford Mustang-It’s a little over designed, especially in the front. It’s got a good color scheme, and that earns an A.

Chris Buescher #17 Violet Defense Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same C- grade.

Kevin Harvick #29 Busch Light Ford Mustang-Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! This might be one of my favorite throwback schemes EVER! This gets a solid A!

Todd Gilliland #38 Wellcare Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same B grade.

Todd Gilliland #38 Gary Martin Hays & Associates Ford Mustang-This isn’t pinkwashing, and I like the look here, smooth, clean and bold. A

Ryan Preece #41 Autodesk/HaasTooling.com Ford Mustang-Same scheme as last year, same A grade.

Tyler Reddick #45 Xfinity 10G Network Toyota Camry-It’s a smooth look with a great color scheme, and that will ALWAYS earn an A.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. #47 Kroger/Nature Valley Chevy Camaro-This is another example of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. This cleaned up scheme is still awful, and gets the same F grade as last year. F
